Moral Injury - with LCdr Matthew Squires and Capt Gabriel Snyman
What exactly is a moral injury? How does one get one? And when it happens what do you do? How can you heal from it? And whose responsibility is it? We will answer all this and more on this first episode of Season 10!

Everything you wanted to know about R2MR but were afraid to ask!
Most people (probably) think they know R2MR - test number one, what do those letters and numbers stand for? If you said, "Road to Mental Readiness" you would be right. But test number two is, how many programs do they have? You'll never guess...and also, do you know they have an App?
Let's just say there is a lot more to R2MR than meets the eye, and in this episode my two amazing guests, Alanna Brochu and Mike Toms help me do a deep dive into all things R2MR.
Enjoy this fabulous conversation as we wrap up Season 9!

Spiritual Wellness - Why it needs to be invited to the table
We know how important physical, mental and even emotional and social wellness are. But for some reason we tend to either overlook or negate how important spiritual wellness is. Capt Gabriel Snyman joins me on this episode to talk about what it is, why it's important, and how we might inadvertently already being more spiritual than we think. It's a fun and interesting look at what it means to be spiritual, how it affects everyone, and how it's an important component of making members even better soldiers.
