What happens when the war never ends?
Marine combat veteran Josh Shores sits down with us to share one of the rawest and most vulnerable conversations you’ll ever hear about mental health, survivor’s guilt, and the price of war.

At 19 years old, Josh was thrown into Iraq’s deadliest battles in Ramadi. He came home alive, but not whole. Haunted by the men he lost, by the decisions he made, and by the weight of combat trauma, Josh spiraled into anger, alcohol, and multiple suicide attempts.

In this episode, Josh opens up about:

  • Survivor’s guilt and why it never really goes away.

  • The moment he realized he had become someone he didn’t recognize in Ramadi.

  • Why writing about his darkest moments saved his life.

  • The ongoing fight for mental health and redemption as a veteran.

This is more than a war story. It’s about healing, truth-telling, and the courage to face your demons.

👉 Watch now. Share with someone who needs to hear this. Leave your thoughts in the comments — your words might be what saves a life.
