Lara Hise joins us for a Veterans Day focused conversation about marriage, military service, and what PTSD can look like when it goes unnamed for decades.
You’ll hear the boundary that helps reset their marriage, why “protecting each other” can become a form of difficulty, and practical communication tools that make hard conversations possible again like writing letters, structured check-ins, and conversation cards.

If you love a veteran, live with PTSD in a relationship, or simply want healthier conflict and better emotional honesty, this one offers real-world insight and hope. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.
