Vetted the Podcast
Welcome to Vetted, a new Podcast unwaveringly committed to de-stigmatizing difficult military transitions by inviting veterans and their families to courageously tell their stories about them. Proud to be the only (virtual) safe-house of its kind where veterans and their loved ones are invited to share their transition experiences in all of their ugly, messy, unfiltered glory. Each week, we’ll have hard, honest & long overdue conversations with our guests about life after service, what it’s really looked like, and the challenges that ensued. We humbly invite you to share our mission with the service-members and veterans in your life, subscribe, and get ready to listen to our new show, and realize that none of us is alone in this next mission.
