ဤအပိုင်းအကြောင်း
In this episode, Cory Brown opens up about losing a brother-in-arms to suicide and how that loss forced him to confront everything the uniform never prepared him for. After 16 years in the Army and National Guard, Cory experienced the familiar spiral of identity loss, broken tribe, and silence that follows so many veterans after service.
That pain became fuel for Eat Your Feelings, a project built around normalizing hard conversations about mental health through food, storytelling, and shared experience. This is a raw conversation about grief, suicide prevention, transition, why “we should do something” is meaningless without action, and how sitting at a table together might save lives.
