Ladies and Gentlemen - Aotearoa New Zealand the one and only Mr Dion Jensen....

During this episode Dion talks about "Coming out the other side of Military Life"  Trauma - Transition and Evolution. But, don't be fooled into thinking this only applies to ex military personnel. Because it doesn't. There are so many positive take-aways from this episode regardless of your circumstances or position.

This episode can also be enlightening for spouses who perhaps have seen their significant others struggle with trauma, transition and/or trying to evolve.

Dion provides insights, solutions, resources and advice to help us recognise, acknowledge and overcome Trauma and PTSD. He speaks about our subconscious body-guards and explains the positive roles they play in keeping us and at times others safe.

He talks us through the transition processes and what that involves/looks like.

He describes what it means to evolve and the positivity that can create for not only ourselves but for others.

Dion also quizzes Joe with some questions to get his thoughts on a couple of scenarios (Which is quite funny to hear Joe default to treating a basic warning order he received from Dion on the fly, as though the hikers were somehow threats 😂).

Dion gives some real talk (Apologies and warning - there is some profanity involved as Dion addresses a number of important issues). He speaks about his love for his brothers and names a large number of them. A number of whom have gone on to serve within the special forces.

He acknowledges his parents and speaks about his upbringing, his own weaknesses and how he strived to turn those into strengths - plus so much more.
