🚨 New Podcast Episode Alert! 🎙️

As Remembrance Day approaches, I’ve been reflecting on something that I see too often in the veteran community: the tension between veterans. Why do some veterans criticize others for showing pride in their service? Why is there backlash over something as simple as posting a service photo or even the idea of a ribbon for completing basic training? 🤔

In this episode, I dive deep into the toxic hierarchy between combat and non-combat veterans, share my own experiences, and talk about why it’s time to lift each other up rather than tear each other down. 💪

🎧 Listen now on #Spotify, #ApplePodcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let’s have a real conversation about what service really means. #Veterans #RemembranceDay #PTSD #ServiceIsService #AMedicsMind

I’m Matthew

Welcome to the Unfiltered Mind of Matthew Heneghan.

I’m a former Canadian Armed Forces medic (1 Field Ambulance) and civilian paramedic who traded the siren for the pen. After fifteen years on the front lines and a diagnosis of PTSD, I realized that the only way out of the wreckage was through the story.

I am the author of A Medic’s Mind and Trauma and Tea, and the host of the podcast MatthewHeneghan: Unfiltered. This blog is my “fuck you” to the hustle—a space to breathe between the plays and find the magic in the quiet, grit-covered moments of trauma recovery, veteran advocacy, and resilience.

If you’re tired of the “paper value” of society and looking for real-life stories on hitting rock bottom and climbing back up, you’re in the right place. Explore the archives, hear the podcast, and let’s find the space to breathe together.
