For many veterans and first responders, the toughest battles begin after the uniform comes off. In a world shaped by algorithms and outrage, it can feel impossible to quiet the mind, to find your footing, to breathe.
In this candid conversation, Dr. Marty Rossman and Joseph VanFonda, USMC SgtMaj (Ret) and CEO of DVNF, dig into the pull of social media, the spiral of stress, and practical ways to reset. They introduce DVNF’s free Mission Possible course and share simple mind-body tools that help you think more clearly, sleep better, and step back into the flow.
Together, they explore the “performance zone,” how to start a digital detox, and core skills like Three Keys to Relaxation, Weeding Your Mental Garden, and The Observer. Joe also speaks directly to veterans navigating real-world pressure, and how DVNF programs work to restore stability and hope.
Whether you are a veteran, a family member, or someone who wants to be part of the solution, this episode offers grounded steps you can use today.
