In the military, we’re taught to be strong, resilient, and unshakable. But what happens when that mindset keeps us from opening up about our struggles? Jonathan shares a powerful realization—some of the strongest leaders he’s ever known have faced the same struggles, the same doubts, and the same challenges. Yet, too often, we keep these battles to ourselves. By breaking the silence and normalizing conversations about mental health, we create a culture of support instead of isolation. It’s time to challenge the stigma and open up about the real experiences of veterans, service members, and military spouses. If you or someone you know is struggling, remember—you are not alone.
