This week, I sat down with Dr. Ariel Jordan, an Army veteran and mental health expert, in honor of National PTSD Awareness Day. Dr. Jordan shares her remarkable journey from serving as an Army culinary specialist to becoming a psychologist, a path profoundly shaped by personal loss and trauma. She opened up about resilience, the role of evidence-based therapies like EMDR, and her mission to support veterans and caregivers.

This conversation delves into the power of lived experience, the healing process, and Dr. Jordan’s dedication to empowering others through therapy, coaching, and public speaking. If you or someone you know is navigating the challenges of PTSD, this episode offers encouragement, practical insight, and a reminder that hope is possible.

A big thank you to Dr. Jordan for joining us and sharing her story!
