In Part 2 of our People Helping People conversation, we continue the honest discussion around parenting, military transition, mental health, and why community support matters more than ever.

This episode blends humor and heart as we share real-life stories — the messy parenting moments, the difficult transitions after military service, and the quiet struggles that don’t always get talked about. We dig deeper into what it means to say “it’s okay to not be okay,” and why reaching out isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

Whether you’re navigating military transition, raising kids, facing mental health challenges, or simply trying to hold it together some days, this conversation is for you. You are not alone.

✨ Episode Highlights

• Real parenting moments — the funny and the hard

• Military transition and identity shifts

• Why mental health awareness matters

• The importance of strong support systems

Season Three is here — and we’re starting with purpose.

In this premiere episode of Herm’s House Podcast, Herm and Kristin reflect on how far the podcast has come, what this new season represents, and why community matters more than ever. This is not a typical Herm's House Podcast episode, this episode Herm and Kristin join Alexander Ward on his podcast People Helping People as special guests. They dive into military service, personal growth, and the complex reality of transitioning out of the uniform.

The conversation explores what it really means when someone says “thank you for your service,” the challenges veterans face when reentering civilian life, and the importance of building a support system that doesn’t disappear when the orders stop coming.

From stepping outside comfort zones to finding purpose after service, this episode sets the tone for Season Three: honest conversations, veteran voices, and building something bigger than ourselves.

✨ Episode Highlights

• Launching Season Three of Herm’s House

• Introducing People Helping People & Alexander Ward

• The evolution of the podcast journey

• Military service and identity

• The real meaning behind “Thank you for your service”

• Challenges of transitioning to civilian life
