When it came to the reality that I was putting other people in danger, my teammates in danger in combat, then that was: how were you putting them in danger? And I got on those mats and trained and I felt like I found the cure.
What happens when a decorated Marine returns home and faces a new kind of battle? In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Chad Robichaux, a former Force Recon Marine and Department of Defense Contractor.

Chad's journey is a testament to resilience and the power of community. He opens up about his darkest moments, including struggling with PTSD and the toll it took on his family. But Chad's story doesn't end there. With the support of his loved ones and what he describes as 'divine intervention', he found a path to recovery.

Training on those mats felt like finding a cure.' His words highlight the importance of seeking help and the transformative power of finding purpose. Whether you're a veteran, a first responder, or someone looking for inspiration, this episode offers a heartfelt look at overcoming adversity and the importance of community support.
