210: Identifying Your Trusted Confidants in the Trenches of Everyday Life, Doing Wellness Checks, and Thinking Through Impossible Situations as a Struggling Veteran with Chris Roness
Description
What if you had your top five trusted agents in the trenches with you whom you could rely on to share your plans, goals, challenges, and fears on a regular basis vs posting on social hoping that someone cares enough to comment for you to feel supported? It would feel good right? In this episode, Chris "Switch” Roness, USAF (Retired) Colonel of 27 years shares why we as veterans struggle with our ability to vulnerably storytell about ourselves to our support groups, walks you through an acronym called ACRE to equip with a communication framework, and shares a badass wellness accountability check tool that will build your strength, confidence, and resilience in times of struggle.
