The founders of Shields and Stripes, Jennifer Byrne and Steve Nisbet join the show to talk about the stigmas around mental health, providing healthy avenues for military, veterans, and first responders, and how their new organization Shields and Stripes is not just crushing that stigma, but focusing on holistic human performance to heal visible, and invisible wounds. Jennifer is a former Air Force Occupational Therapist who left the service after 7 years to start 5x5 Performance Therapy. Her mission was to do more, and find ways outside of the norm to help people, especially those within the special operations community, bounce back from mental injuries.Steve is a former Air Force Pararescueman of 16 years. His mission was to do more as well, and bring a sense of normalcy to those who need and deserve help after their service. With a deep appreciation for special operations, as well as first responders, Steve sought to give back to those communities. After his medical retirement he started a mission to do more, eventually connecting with Jennifer and together they founded Shields and Stripes.You can find more about Shields and Stripes below:https://shieldsandstripes.org/https://www.instagram.com/shields_and_stripes/Follow for more: jeffclarkofficial.com or...
