Trisha Houghton, AKA "The Stressalist," joins us on this episode of Security Halt! Podcast. Together, we dove head-first into the multifaceted nature of stress and the profound ways our bodies react to it. She brought to light the mistaken belief that people are either extroverts or introverts, especially in pressure-cooker settings like conferences. Instead, we navigated through the nuances of stress management, emphasizing the importance of self-care and debunking the myth of a stress-free life. Tricia's personal battle with sudden fatigue lifted the veil on the dangers of our nervous system on overdrive, reinforcing the critical lesson of tuning in to our body's signals.
The conversation took an intriguing turn as we discussed the evolution of a Nervous System Reset Program, originally tailored for elite military personnel but universally relevant. This bespoke approach marries nutrition and mindset to confront stress-induced hormonal imbalances, a revelation that sprouted from a serendipitous encounter at a pet store. Delving into the military's unique relationship with stress, which is often harnessed as a driver for action, we examined the indispensable nature of self-regulation tactics in constructing a foundation for resilience and recovery.If you enjoy our content, sign up for our Patreon and get access to additional content and bonus episodes, and access each episode before they drop on Spotify or iTunes.

The echoes of a life once lived in uniform often linger long after the last salute, a sentiment Ray Steele knows all too well. As a first-generation immigrant who rose through the ranks to join the elite Green Berets, his tale is one of resilience and transformation. Ray Steele walks us through his remarkable life's arc, from grappling with the decision to enlist to the life-altering switch from military to civilian realms, all while revealing the often untold struggles that veterans face during this significant change. Our exchange peels back the layers on the identity crisis that can ensue when one's service ends, an experience I relate to deeply as I recount my own post-military recalibration.
As we navigate through the heart of our discussion, the rigors and prestige of the Special Forces come into sharp relief. The conversation leads us into the world of the 18 Bravo course, where Deny, alongside Ray, share firsthand the trials and tribulations of intense training and the subsequent shift to becoming a mentor for the emerging class of warriors. We confront the contentious topic of diluted training standards head-on, scrutinizing their potential ripple effects on the caliber of soldiers and operational readiness. The dialogue takes a turn as we examine the changing tide of deployment cycles, weighed down by the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the emotional and professional challenges that come with adapting to a military environment in flux.If you enjoy our content, sign up for our Patreon and get access to additional content, bonus episodes, and access each episode before they drop on Spotify or iTunes.
