A Veteran Talks About 12 Years in Iraq to How He Became Homeless | Charles Stewart | 78
Description
In one of the most emotional episodes yet, J.D. sits down with Charles Stewart, a former Army combat medic who spent 12 years in Iraq. But this isn’t just a story about war—it’s a raw and unflinching conversation about what happens after the battlefield.
Charles opens up about losing friends in combat, the trauma of being both healer and survivor, and how he ended up homeless for two years battling alcoholism. He talks about the moments that broke him and the ones that started to heal him. This episode is about grief, guilt, survival—and the long road back to self-worth.
