CruzTalks Ep. #19 - Unfiltered: Standards, Insults, and Real Talk on PTSD

We kick things off by delving into a pressing issue: the consequences of not following standards and procedures. Whether it's in the military, government, or daily life, adherence to established protocols is crucial for maintaining order and accountability. We examine real-world examples and discuss the potential fallout when standards are ignored. The episode takes an unexpected turn when we address a controversial moment involving a congresswoman. In response to being accused of having fake eyelashes by another congresswoman , she replied with a "bleach blonde, bad built, butch body." We dissect this exchange, exploring the broader implications of such personal attacks and the impact of public figures engaging in such behavior. Towards the end of the episode, we shift gears to a deeply personal and important topic: PTSD. Joined by a viewer, we have an open and heartfelt conversation about our experiences with PTSD. We discuss various ways to manage and mitigate the effects of this challenging condition, offering insights and support for those who are struggling. This episode is a raw and unfiltered look at the complexities of life, from navigating standards and procedures to dealing with personal attacks and mental health challenges. It's an episode that reminds us of the importance of integrity, empathy, and resilience. Join us for this candid and thought-provoking discussion.
