#3 - Situational Awareness, There's a Time & Place for Everything
About this episode
In this episode, we navigate the nuances of situational awareness and the impact of our words in different settings. We highlight the importance of reading the room, recognizing that war stories and certain topics may not resonate with every audience.
Moreover, we tackle the complex territory of dark humor—how self-deprecating jokes, especially about serious issues, can not only affect our own healing process but also discourage fellow veterans from seeking necessary support.
Learn about the delicate balance between using humor as a coping mechanism and maintaining a supportive environment for all.
This discussion is a reminder of the power of words and the importance of choosing them wisely to foster understanding and empathy within and beyond the veteran community.
This is the VetRise Podcast w/ Juan Perez, hosted by Marine Corps Scout Sniper Veteran, founder, owner, public speaker, and content creator Juan Perez.
On this podcast, our goal is to make success after service accessible to every veteran.
You'll learn about the many failures and lessons Juan has learned on his path from service to society.
Thank you for your time.
