About this episode
In this powerful episode of The Scoop, host Kingsley sits down with Air Force veteran and emotional intelligence expert Mary Polanco, founder of Lead and Lead Well, LLC and author of Your Final Debrief. Mary shares her deeply personal story of transitioning from the military, overcoming anxiety and depression, and rediscovering her identity outside the uniform.
We explore the emotional and psychological aspects of military transition, why there's no “right” way to move forward, and how her book empowers veterans—and anyone in a life shift—to design a life aligned with their values.
