This week we're privileged to share a deeply personal conversation with Lara Beltz, a Navy veteran who courageously shares her journey through transformative military experiences, shedding light on the internal struggles many veterans face post-service. Lara's incredible journey begins in Sicily, where she worked in the ER and ran EMS in a military setting and faced life-altering events that took years to process.
Together, we navigate the tumultuous path to recovery, highlighting how integral veteran's programs have been in Lara's life.
