About this listen
This week, Bob speaks with Derek Hines, a Marine veteran, sharing his deeply personal journey through trauma, resilience, and healing. Derek discusses the impact of a strict upbringing, early struggles with mental health, and the profound effects of military service in Afghanistan—including exposure to violence, loss, and survivor’s guilt. After leaving the service, Derek faced further challenges with addiction and family disruption but eventually sought help through therapy and veterans’ support organizations. Emphasizing the significance of community, gratitude, and vulnerability, Derek highlights his work supporting fellow veterans with resources like his “Mindful Gratitude” journal and outreach initiatives. The conversation, led by Bob Wilkie, explores the stigma around discussing trauma and the power of connection, showing Derek’s growth from enduring hardship alone to finding purpose in service to others and raising his daughters.
