I recently sat down with Andrew from Freedom Ibogaine to have honest conversation about addiction, recovery, and what happens when the noise finally quiets enough to do the work. 🎧 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄: 𝘐𝘣𝘰𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘴, 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢, 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘈 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘝𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴 & 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 ⚠️ The clip…

Andrew from Freedom Ibogaine @freedomibogaine breaks down how ibogaine can quiet the noise long enough for real recovery work to begin, especially for veterans and first responders.

I’m not trying to be my kid’s best friend. I’m trying to raise a resilient human. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸? Should parents focus more on comfort, or preparing kids for real life? ⬇️

Real conversations don’t start with “I’m good.” They start when someone cares enough to ask again. In this clip, JMach breaks down why he always asks: “O𝘬𝘢𝘺… 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨?” Do you think people are afraid to be honest, or are we just not used to being…

A lot of people think joining the military will fix everything... like the structure and discipline will magically erase their past. But from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t work that way. If you don’t deal with your stuff before you put on the uniform, it’s going to come back later……

In the military and in life, you can guide someone… but you can’t walk the path for them. What's been your experience with either being a mentor, or being supported by one? 𝗜'𝗺 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂! ⬇️

Leadership isn’t about perfection... it’s about reflection. Every one of us has made mistakes, bad calls, and choices we learned from. That’s the heart of The Morning Formation podcast: Real conversations about growth, service, identity, and owning your story. If you value authenticity and real leadership lessons, you're in the…

Your past doesn’t disappear just because you ignore it. JMach shared a great point here: 🐃 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘰 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. Do you turn into the storm, or do you keep trying to outrun it? 🌀⚡

So many veterans carry this secret shame: ‘I 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. 𝘐 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥. 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯.’ But what if your purpose wasn’t only overseas… What if the real fight was the one waiting for you back home? Learning how to heal your wounds. Finding stability in your work…

🍺 Most people have no idea how normalized drinking is in the military. And let's be real, not only does the military allow drinking, but it practically builds a lifestyle around. Do you agree with what @jmachpodcast said... that when you join, you basically become an alcoholic...? I’m curious where…

Many veterans focus on military trauma, but the truth is more complex: For a lot of us, the patterns, reactions, and survival skills were shaped long before we ever put on a uniform. JMach breaks it down: 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦…

Most people think the toughest part of military service is the deployment. But for a lot of veterans, the hardest fight starts the moment they get home. Divorce. Lost stability. Starting over from scratch. And even for those who never deployed, the transition can hit just as hard...losing identity, routine,…

The military teaches you discipline with your body. No one teaches you discipline with your mind. JMach breaks down the truth: 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨. What story are you choosing to believe today? - - - - - - - - - - -…

Trauma doesn’t care how “good” your childhood looked on paper.

A lot of people ask “How are you?” and stop there. We ask again. This conversation with Joshua “J Mac” Mock dives straight into the stuff most of us hide—burnout, identity after service, short fuses at home, and the quiet pressure of being the person others rely on. We talk…

Social media is full of “alpha males” who look unstoppable online… then you meet them in person and think: “Really? This is the guy?” 😂 The internet rewards ego. Real life exposes it. Have you ever met someone who was way tougher online than they were face-to-face? Share in the…

Veterans push through everything...until we can’t. Your body can only run on empty for so long. Mine shut me down… and it forced me to look at what was really going on. Has this happened to you?

Not every therapist is the right match for veterans. The culture, language, and lived experience matter. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻? 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀!

The veteran–civilian gap is real. When only a small percentage have served in the military, it changes how people talk to you. You can feel it in the comments, the conversations, the assumptions. What’s been your experience? Drop it in the comments below 👇

Going viral is overrated. Jenna Carlton knows that first-hand. After a video of hers went viral, people weren’t just criticizing her content… they were attacking her family. This is the side of “viral” nobody talks about. It’s the part that hurts the most. The "keyboard courage" is real. - -…
