🎙️ PTSD, Trauma, and Healing: A Father-Son Conversation | Legacy Series EP 3

What happens when two generations of veterans sit down and talk honestly about PTSD, trauma, and healing?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Jordan Smith (Marine Corps veteran) and his son Jordan III (Army veteran) open up about their lived experiences—from combat deployments and classroom challenges to childhood trauma and emotional breakdowns. This isn't a scripted show—it’s raw, real, and necessary.

🔥 Highlights in this episode:

• PTSD flashbacks from Gulf War, Somalia, and Bosnia

• The hidden trauma behind teaching, fatherhood, and failed relationships

• Alcohol and prescription coping methods vs. wellness and self-talk routines

• Childhood abuse, race riots, and community violence

• How motorcycles and affirmations became unexpected therapy

This is more than a podcast. It's a healing space. It's the talk men often avoid but desperately need.
