Storytelling is a wellspring for growth. Whether through art or music, sharing a story brings healing and camaraderie so that we can all flourish. In this episode we talk with Kyle Yepsen, the Deputy Director of CreatiVets. Founded in 2013 by Richard Casper, they work with combat veterans to heal from the unseen wounds of war. CreatiVets has partnerships with some of the top art institutes in the country, award winning singer-songwriters, and a major recording label. These partnerships all serve the purpose to help veterans share their stories and heal through art and storytelling. In this episode we explore the question, “how does our story from the past impact how we live now?”
Show notes
Throughout this episode, we discuss post traumatic stress and vulnerability. This is based on research, experience, and understanding, rather than academic expertise.
