Personal stories about life after the military, transitioning from soldier to civilian, losing friends to suicide, the VA experience, and learning to reach out to ask for help.
When are we allowed to finally say that we have healed? Or, are we meant to stay broken? For over 3 years I have talked about struggling, trauma, and failure. Recently I began to talk about the healing that has taken place during that time. What did I find? That people were upset that I would "pretend" or "fake" being okay. When we say we are allowed to reach out, get help, and heal, do we truly mean it?…
For this episode I cover multiple books to add to the discussion of women in the military, the differences they face, and how competition seems to hinder our healing in the veteran community more than it helps. Learning different perspectives or discussing the various experiences we can have does not take away from anyone else's story, service, or cause. If we don't know what others face, how can we truly know how to help them heal? If you would like to explore the titles and topics covered in this episode further, please check out these books: "The Wounds Within: A Veteran, A PTSD Therapist, and a Nation Unprepared " by Mark Nickerson and Joshua Goldstein "Fight Like a Girl" by Kate Germano "Combat Vet Don't Mean Crazy" by Duane France "Bottled Away" by Lani Hankins…
In the veteran community we talk about transition often. Mostly because we can all agree and acknowledge that it has a major impact on all of us. But why don't we talk about the transitions that take place in our service more often? They impact us, too. When I returned from deployment, I was aware that I was not the same person. I knew I was struggling to adapt and to integrate back into the life I left behind. Then I would experience that same helplessness, same struggle, when I left the Army. What we experience on a deployment varies from person to person, but one thing is certain: You will change.…
Marine Corps Veteran and co-host of Cancelled for Maintenance Podcast, Six, returns to the show so that we can discuss deployments. Specifically, the transition from being home, to being overseas, and then being home again. We try to cover all angles regarding this topic, offering insight and perspective from the one deployed, as well as the one that stays behind. Deployments are hard on everyone and we hope this conversation will help people to reach out, gain some understanding, and encourage communication.

This episode is based off information from Dr. Richard A. Heckler's "Waking Up, Alive." Lani discusses her most recent book recommendation and shares her experience with unhealed trauma and how it led to her descent into suicidal thinking, the suicidal trance, and how she moved on from the belief that life was not worth living. She will also discuss information about rebuilding the self and healing the past. Listener discretion is advised.…
This episode covers the second half of the book, "The Wounds Within: A Veteran, A PTSD Therapist, and a Nation Unprepared" by Mark Nickerson and Joshua Goldstein. In this episode, I cover warning signs, risk factors, changes made by the VA and military, and stories about poor leadership and not taking someone's mental health seriously.…
September is Suicide Prevention Month. For this episode I talk about the book "The Wounds Within: A Veteran, A PTSD Therapist, And a Nation Unprepared" by Mark Nickerson and Joshua Goldstein. This episode covers PTSD, suicide, VA and military failures, the stigma held by our society, and why it is important that we police each other up (in person or on social media) when one of our own is attempting to attack or silence a veteran or service member in need.…
I had not expected to release an episode this week, but with everything going on I just needed a place to process my thoughts and I chose to do that here. We all had different perspectives, opinions, and experiences involving the war in Afghanistan. It was a 20 year war that some feel should have never started or needed to have ended long ago. Others feel it was another Vietnam, destined to fail and carried out at too high of a price. Regardless of how you feel, chances are you or someone you know gave something or everything to this war. Many are asking themselves, "Was it worth it?" I certainly asked myself that same question 9 years ago while I sat in Afghanistan and another life had been lost. If you are a veteran struggling, please reach out to a local vet center, the veteran crisis line, or to a buddy.…

I reached a point after experiencing trauma where I could hardly stand to look at myself in the mirror. Mostly because that reflection forced me to see that I had changed. Dealing with and healing from trauma has been a long, difficult road. The first step towards reclaiming myself was taken when I was willing to acknowledge the post-traumatic stress, along with the impact trauma had taken on me.…
Stories are powerful. They allow histories and traditions to be shared with future generations. They provide wisdom and insight. For some of us, stories were the way we learned to communicate and acknowledge deeply rooted pain and trauma. For myself, stories allowed me to break a silence that was slowly killing me. This episode covers what opening up about my past did and did not do for me. How it helped me out of a dark place and to find a path towards healing.…
Transition is rough. That is something that many veterans can agree on. But what happens during our transition varies. This episode covers everything from my struggle to leave the military behind, the poor coping mechanisms I learned, mistakes made during transition, using training to survive, and why talking about these experiences can be important to someone thinking about suicide. Content for this episode can be found in "The Gaslit Heart: A Story of Service and Survival."…
When Kruse Corner was still just a blog, there was a section that contained excerpts from a journal I had kept while deployed to Afghanistan. I had shared it with the intention of presenting another perspective of a combat zone. The Kruse Corner Podcast just had its 2-year anniversary and to recognize that, I have brought back one of the most requested and commented on sections of the original blog: The POG Diaries. Remember, it isn't always about who has the best story. Sometimes its simply about sharing different perspectives so we can connect. While this episode only contains roughly 10 percent of the original journal, the excerpts selected are meant to provide examples of how an individual changes, the dark sense of humor, death and loss, highs and lows, bonding, and disconnect that take place during and after a deployment. If you have a story you would like to share about your deployment, service, or transition, please reach out on Instagram to schedule a Zoom call.…
This episode was not recorded to try to downplay anything people have gone through, especially in war. It isn't to make combat sound as though all can relate to every aspect of it. If you have the badass war story that you say you do, then you already know others cannot take that away by sharing their own experiences or by simply stating that they understand. I just want you to think; to take a moment and consider -- maybe we aren't so different. Maybe we can relate, more than we realize.…
After leaving the Army, I often found myself wanting to go back, but I knew deep down my dreams of a military career were over. Years later I would become an Army spouse and while a part of me was attracted to the idea of being connected to the military again, I quickly discovered everything felt wrong. For this episode, I visit one of my journals and share what I wrote about the push and pull I have experienced with the Army ever since I was honorably discharged. How the good memories keep me coming back to this place, but the bad ones leave me wishing I could leave once I am here.…
