In this episode of The Outreach Project Podcast, we sit down with Joe and Gabriella, founders of Hero’s Journey Healing Foundation, for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about healing, identity, and rebuilding life after service.

Joe, an Army veteran, shares his journey through military transition, PTSD, addiction, and the loss of identity that so many veterans and first responders face. Together with Gabriella, they discuss how their experience with ayahuasca-assisted healing, combined with counseling, community, and spousal support, helped transform not just the individual — but the entire family unit.

This episode explores:

The hidden mental health struggles after military and first-responder service

Why identity loss fuels isolation, addiction, and depression

What it truly means to heal the unit, not just the individual

How ayahuasca is discussed as part of a responsible, guided healing process

The critical role spouses play in long-term recovery

Why community, accountability, and integration matter after breakthroughs

⚠️ This is not a conversation about shortcuts or quick fixes. Ayahuasca is discussed in the context of intentional healing, proper guidance, and long-term support.

If you or someone you love is struggling with transition, trauma, or purpose after service, this episode offers perspective, hope, and a reminder that you don’t have to walk the path alone.
