Angela Greene sits down with her friend Seth Payne, a combat veteran, to have an open-hearted conversation about his experiences in the military, battling PTSD, and his journey towards sobriety. Seth shares his life story, from growing up on a dairy farm in North Carolina to joining the Marine Corps at 20, inspired by his family's military background.
He recounts his time in the Marines as the best and worst period of his life, marked by travel to over 20 countries and a combat tour in Afghanistan. Seth opens up about the challenges he faced after returning home, including signs of PTSD that he initially ignored. His struggle with alcohol became more pronounced after a tragic loss of a fellow Marine to suicide in 2019.

In a heartfelt moment, Seth describes how he turned his life around by seeking help and immersing himself in self-improvement practices such as reading, journaling, and physical exercise. His story takes a hopeful turn as he talks about his work at Camp Hope, helping other veterans navigate their recovery journeys.
Seth's message is clear: no matter how deep the trauma, recovery is possible with the right support and mindset. This episode is not just about Seth's past but also about his ongoing commitment to helping others find their way out of darkness. Angela and Seth's conversation is filled with moments of vulnerability, resilience, and hope. It's a powerful reminder that you're not alone in your struggles and that reaching out for help can be the first step towards healing.
