In this compelling episode of the LFG Energy Podcast, I sit down with former U.S. Navy Special Operations veteran and resilience coach, Sean Bautista, to unpack the powerful journey of post-traumatic growth. Sean opens up about his transition from elite military service to civilian life, shedding light on the invisible battles many veterans face and the importance of identity beyond the uniform.

We explore his near-fatal injuries, the mental and emotional toll of service, and how he turned pain into purpose by helping others redefine strength and healing. From redefining masculinity and vulnerability to navigating trauma, self-awareness, and transformation, Sean’s insights are as raw as they are inspiring. Whether you're a veteran, athlete, entrepreneur, or simply someone striving to reclaim control of your life, this episode will move you to reflect, reset, and rise.
