Surviving the War After the War

from Drive On: Helping Veterans Navigate PTSD & Life After Military Service · host Scott DeLuzio

What happens when the mission ends but the war inside you doesn't? Ryan Reichert opens up about life after nearly two decades in the Army, including leading troops in combat, battling chronic PTSD, and losing everything he thought defined him. After a hard fall from grace, broken marriage, lost job, and hitting rock bottom with addiction, Ryan chose a different path. He shares how he found faith, sobriety, and a renewed sense of purpose through his work at Our Protector Development, a consultancy focused on building strong leaders through lived experience. If you're battling with purpose, pain, or what comes after service, this episode will hit home.
