Meet our hosts, Brian McKenna, retired warrant officer with the Canadian Armed Forces and Laryssa Lamrock, military mother and daughter, and partner of a Veteran.

Our first episode introduces Brian and Laryssa, and explores what it’s like to be a Veteran and a Veteran Family member living with PTSD. As experts of their own experiences, they are candid about what a PTSD diagnosis really meant for them and for those closest to them. They share their hopes for how the podcast will help others, no matter where one might find one’s self on the journey.
