Ownership vs Victim-ship in your Divorce Recovery - David Nordel CMSgt, USAF (ret), RN, BSN, MS || DPTSP#050 || David M. Webb

Welcome David Nordel to the show.  After a distinguished career in the Air Force, he developed his superpowers of transitions and mental health challenges of veterans.  He has written two books on leadership.  We did discuss the similarities between veteran PTSD and men going through a divorce.  Some of the parallels are interesting.  Discussions of quitting in the face of adversity, tools to embrace personal growth, preparing for change, and recognizing the value in others are all broached in this podcast.  It was like the two Davids were reuniting after a long friendship.  Thanks, David.  Hope to get you back on the podcast. I’ve got a ton of questions we haven’t even touched on yet.  Talk to David soon!Other topics:Why listening is so importantWays to effectively navigate life, family and friendshipsThe value of timeSavoring each momentDeeper awareness of our surroundingsHidden potential withinMany people hear, but only a few listenHappy squirrelsRun your life like a CEOHarness the energy of PTSD and moral injury, flip the polarity, and use it constructively.Pain and fear make change hard, sometimes impossibleCheck out egosWhen we are hurt, we want to transmit70/30 me timeGood quittingRecreate yourself from the inside outHandling hard betterRecovery from your failure and move forwardDivorce and moral injury run congruentEVERYTHING DAVID NORDELHosted on Ausha.
