About this listen

We talk a lot about freedom. We celebrate it. We assume it.

But we rarely stop to ask — what did it cost, and who is still paying for it?

In this episode of Between the Sessions, Jason shares a reflection on the unseen toll carried by military members, first responders, and veterans long after the headlines fade and the uniforms come off.

This is not a political conversation.

This is a human one.

We talk about:

• The physical cost stored in the body

• The emotional weight carried in silence

• Why recovery is not weakness — it’s readiness

• And how small acts of support can make a real difference


If you’ve ever thanked someone for their service, this episode will help you understand what that service still looks like years later.

Because freedom didn’t come free. And for many, it still hasn’t.
