EP-367 | Kaitlin Chacon, Navigating Trauma: Insights from a Veteran's Journey

Mentors for Military Podcast

Robert and Kyle bring you this episode from the cozy Pearl and Pine Brewery located in Senoia, GA. We're thrilled to welcome our special guest, Kaitlin, a remarkable woman whose journey from the Air Force to Surgical Neurophysiologist is nothing short of inspiring. We dive deep into Kaitlin's experiences, from her time as a weapons troop in the Air Force to creator and host of the "Sierra Hotel Echo" podcast. Kaitlin opens up about the unique challenges female veterans face, the importance of mental health, and how she found her true passion in neuroscience and psychology. Kaitlin and the Mentors4mil team discuss whether there were potentially preexisting traumatic experiences prior to many of us veterans enlisting that may exacerbate symptoms caused by new traumatic experiences. Listen in as we explore the intricacies of trauma, the significance of understanding oneself, and the power of turning off life's noise to find true healing. Whether you're a veteran, a mental health enthusiast, or just someone looking for a heartfelt conversation, this episode is packed with insights and wisdom. Join us for an engaging chat that reminds us all of the importance of self-discovery and the journey toward well-being.
