Beyond the Battlefield: Finding Purpose After Service w/ Deny Caballero
Description
I would love to hear from you!
Deny Caballero shares his powerful journey from childhood trauma through military service to becoming a mental health advocate and podcast producer. Through vulnerable conversation, he explores how veterans can embrace mental fitness, authentic masculinity, and purposeful transitions to civilian life.
• Mental health is a journey, not a destination that requires ongoing maintenance like physical fitness
• Setting intentional morning routines creates space for mental wellness before the day's demands
• Establishing firm boundaries around family time, especially weekends, is non-negotiable for balance
• Being present as a father matters more than financial provision alone
• True masculinity involves protection, emotional intelligence, and moral courage
• Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness, especially among warriors
• Veterans should resist the "disgruntled veteran" identity and focus on positive growth
• Finding purpose after service means discovering authentic passions, not just secure employment
• Transitioning veterans should "go into the unknown" with the same courage they showed in uniform
• Your worst day is your worst day—no need to compare trauma with others
