Dropping the Armor: Aaron Gibson on Healing, Humor, and Hard Truths
Show Notes
If you’ve ever wondered how veterans cope with mental health challenges after service, Aaron Gibson’s story will hit home. This Soul Man Live host, producer, and Gen X veteran mental health advocate has lived through domestic violence, post-military depression, and an autism diagnosis—and still built a platform of kindness and connection. His journey proves that healing from trauma is possible, and that suicide prevention stories aren’t just statistics—they’re lifelines.
Aaron Gibson has been called a lot of things—soldier, content creator, producer, Gen X madman with a “my lady” charm—but his truest titles? Survivor. Connector. Truth-teller.
In this raw conversation, Aaron and Elaine go deep into surviving domestic violence, navigating post-military life, living with autism, and realizing that mental health breaks aren’t a luxury—they’re survival gear.
Aaron’s “Soul Man Live” is part late-night hype show, part lifeline for anyone having a rough Friday. And in true Aaron style, he reminds us that showing up for people without expecting a damn thing in return might be the purest form of service there is.
💥 What We Talk About:
- Growing up Gen X with an alcoholic parent and a stiff-upper-lip culture
- Life after the military: discipline, distrust, and finding a new mission
- Autism diagnosis at 46—and the puzzle pieces it put in place
- Why kindness is never wasted, and “my lady” is more than a phrase
- How his livestream became a global mental health safe space
- The magic of genuine connection in a cynical world
