## Resource

Major John Donovan sits down with Major General (Ret.) Maureen Banavige for a heartfelt conversation on military service, leadership, loss, and recovery. Together, they explore what “recovery” means in the context of veterans’ lives—from substance use and mental health challenges to finding purpose after trauma. This episode is a testament to the power of empathy, resilience, and connection. Whether through leadership, recovery, or healing from loss, Banavige reminds us that service extends far beyond the uniform—it’s about caring for one another as humans. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Bravo Zulu House: https://bravozuluhouse.org Supporting veterans in recovery and mental wellness.
