Transcript

Jeff “Weed” Widenhofer is a dear friend and classmate from the Naval Academy, a retired helicopter pilot, and a former Broadway musician. He is currently studying for a Master's in Social Work from the University of Denver to become a licensed psychotherapist. Part of his training involves working with inpatients at a local hospital and speaking with combat veterans at a VA counseling center. I thought he would be a perfect guest to kick things off.

Discussion about this podcast

RARE SENSE

The Uncommon Pursuit of Mind Fitness.

RARE SENSE® is hosted by Chris Irwin, a Navy SEAL veteran who faced chronic mental and physical illness for over a decade after his military service. Throughout his journey, he delved into various aspects of mental training, including meditation, breathing exercises, emotional release techniques, and energy work. This pursuit eventually led to the complete alleviation of his symptoms, both mental and physical. He emerged with a profound understanding of what it takes to build a genuinely fit mind. On this podcast, Chris uses the knowledge he gained during that journey to discuss the modern mental health landscape while being completely vulnerable and open about his own experiences and struggles. Mental health isn't something to just treat. It's something to train.
