When we are young, we often trust others very easily because we haven’t had enough life experiences yet to help us develop a discerning mind. We may think that being in a certain environment will be good for us and we may think that certain people have our back. Today’s guest, Jenna, explains that she joined the military for structure, stability, and a safe environment. Unfortunately, this is not what came out of her time in the service.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Joining the military right after high school instead of going to college
- How it's cheaper to buy alcohol on military bases
- Being assaulted by someone she trusted
- Drinking to cope with feelings of shame
- What it was like to see the person who assaulted her years later
- Finding out a friend went through a similar experience
- Being cheated on and contracting an STD
- Retiring from the Navy and starting a family
- Isolation and self-loathing
- Seeking out help for her trauma and helping others with similar issues
- Supporting the veteran community and advocating for mental health awareness
