What happens when trauma challenges everything you thought you knew about yourself and the world around you?

Our deepest beliefs shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and imagine our future. But what happens when those beliefs are shattered?

In the newest episode of the Inside Posttraumatic Growth Podcast, Josh Goldberg sits down with Dr. Rich Tedeschi and Dr. Bret Moore to explore what happens when trauma shakes our core beliefs — and how that disruption can become the starting point for Posttraumatic Growth.

🎧 Episode 5 is out now. Watch the full conversation! https://youtu.be/a48FOy3Gmfo

🍺 HELP US NAME THE B**R! 🇺🇸

Bear Chase Brewing Company and Boulder Crest Foundation are teaming up, and we need your help naming a special b**r!

We’re brewing up a Rye Ale made with 100% Virginia hops, and we want YOU to give it a name! Get creative, have some fun with it, and come up with something worthy of a Virginia-brewed b**r and an incredible community.

Submit your b**r name ideas in the comments of this post by October 28 for a chance to win naming rights, bragging rights, and a small BCF gift bag. Not a bad deal for a little creativity!

The winning name will debut when the specialty Rye Ale launches at the Veterans Day event at Bear Chase Brewing Company on November 7! Even better, sales of the specialty brew will benefit Boulder Crest Foundation and other veterans nonprofits.

Join us from 11 AM to 4 PM to celebrate our veteran community, support a great cause, and be among the first to try the limited release brew!

Drop your best b**r name ideas in the comments. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

For 28 years, Darrell Demers was trained to expect the worst. The problem? His brain didn’t know when the shift was over.

After decades as a paramedic, the worst-case scenarios, vivid dreams, and things he’d never talked about followed him home. Then his son introduced him to Boulder Crest — and Darrell finally started putting words to what he had carried for years.

In the newest episode of the Struggle Well Podcast, Darrell shares why “shame cannot survive being spoken” became a turning point — and how Struggle Well changed the way he thinks about uncertainty, control, and the life in front of him.
