In this episode, Kris sits down with Alison Perry Sower, founder of Central Oregon Veteran’s Ranch (COVR) — a nonprofit healing community for veterans that blends agriculture, peer support, and trauma recovery.
Sparked by the impact of 9/11 and forged in years of work inside the VA and nonprofit systems, Alison shares how she turned burnout, frustration, and a fierce sense of purpose into a living solution for veteran healing.
This conversation is about the systems that fail us, the workarounds we build, and the heart it takes to lead something real.
