About Navigating the Benefits Battlefield Project Headspace and Timing This episode of I'm F.I.N.E. dives deep into the realities of veterans’ benefits, VA disability claims, and the support systems available through Veterans Assistance Commissions (VACs). Featuring co-hosts Eric Peterson and Brad Stosiek, along with guest Karen Smietanski, a veteran service officer, the discussion breaks down how veterans can successfully navigate compensation and pension (C&P) exams, file VA claims, and access the benefits they’ve earned—often without even realizing they qualify.

Eric Peterson and Karen Smietanski share firsthand insight into how the claims process really works, common mistakes veterans make, and why telling your full story during a C&P exam is critical. Brad Stosiek helps guide the conversation through real-world experiences that highlight both the challenges and life-changing outcomes that can come from properly filed claims and strong advocacy.

The episode highlights common misconceptions about VA benefits, including the belief that only combat veterans qualify or that it’s too late to apply. Through powerful real-life stories, Karen Smietanski explains how conditions like Agent Orange exposure, degenerative joint disease, tinnitus, PTSD, and other service-connected injuries can impact veterans long after service—and how proper documentation and advocacy can change outcomes.

Listeners will also learn about key programs such as the PACT Act, Veterans Treatment Court, community care options, and mental health and substance use support services. The conversation emphasizes the importance of asking questions, seeking help from certified VSOs instead of paid “claim sharks,” and understanding how spouses and dependents may also qualify for benefits such as DIC, CHAMPVA, and pensions.

With powerful personal stories of veterans receiving life-changing back pay and ongoing compensation, Eric Peterson and Karen Smietanski highlight how VACs collaborate with nonprofits, social workers, and healthcare providers to close gaps in care. Brad Stosiek ties it all together with a focus on awareness, advocacy, and breaking down stigma around seeking help.

Whether you’re a veteran, family member, or advocate, this episode provides essential insight into VA disability claims, veteran mental health resources, and the full range of benefits available through the VA system.

Alicia brings her perspective on supporting seniors and caregivers through life’s transitions, while Corey shares the lessons he’s learned working with first responder and veteran communities who are navigating trauma and the passage of time.

Family and thank you for tuning into another wild and unfiltered episode of the 172nd most listened to mental health podcast in Cambodia!

On today’s episode, the boys are taking a break from the heavy stuff and inviting you along for a little “mandatory fun.” Brad and Eric dive deep into the weird and wonderful world of military slang, translating gruntspeak for our civilian counterparts and sharing hilarious stories from their own days in uniform (and from some of their P.H.a.T. Family, too). Ever wondered what a Blue Falcon is, or why the Army can’t stop saying “hooah”? You’re about to find out. Plus, the guys cover how the military wages war on your common sense, why you never want to be left alone with the “good idea fairy,” and what happens when you mix a bunch of bored veterans with a surplus of garbage cans and zero supervision.

Tune in for laughs, learning, and a reminder that sometimes, finding joy in the chaos is the best kind of therapy. Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, tattoo artist Sarah Jane—make sure to hit her up for your next piece of ink!

As she opens the discussion, Melanie defines grief as the process of accepting and navigating through the array of emotions that accompany loss, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a job, or an opportunity.


Throughout the episode, Melanie explores the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—providing insights into what each stage entails. She emphasizes the normalcy of feeling anger during the grieving process and discusses the phase of bargaining, where individuals may find themselves making deals with a higher power in an attempt to bring back what has been lost.


Melanie skillfully guides us through the stages of depression, highlighting the deep sadness that often accompanies the realization of loss. Finally, she touches on the ultimate stage of grief: acceptance. Here, individuals reach a point of equilibrium, having traversed the emotional rollercoaster and fully embraced the reality of the changed circumstances.


In the latter part of the episode, Melanie offers practical advice on managing grief, tailoring her recommendations based on age. For children aged 12 and under, she recommends two insightful books— "When Someone Dies" by Andrea Dawn and "The Memory Book," a grief journal for parents and kids. For adults navigating grief, Melanie suggests two highly recommended books: "Finding Peace When Your Heart Is in Pieces" by Paul Coleman and "The Long Grief Journey" by Pam Blair.

When parenting preteens and teens, it is important to remember that their brains are still developing and they are going through a delicate time. Social media and phone use can be challenging, so monitoring and setting boundaries is crucial. Bullying and social pressure are also concerns, and it is important to have open conversations with kids about managing stressors. Ultimately, parents should make decisions based on their child's emotional maturity and safety, rather than societal norms.

Today the boys tackle one of the toughest topics they've had to discuss to date: veteran suicide. To help them dive into this, they enlist the help of their friend and member of the Project Headspace and Timing Family, Connor Chwaszczewski (pronounced ashj-kdnrbt-kdhrbni-dkrbke-ski). 


Our hosts join Connor in sharing their personal experiences with veteran suicide, some of the more alarming statistics out there (some of which may surprise you), and why they think that veteran suicide continues to be such an issue while making light through the use of their brand of humor in the process.


If you are a veteran that is struggling with the thoughts of suicide, please dial the Veteran Crisis Line. It is 24/7, confidential crisis support for Veterans and their loved ones. To contact the Veterans Crisis Line: Dial 988 then Press 1, chat online, or text 838255.

We used to think that therapy was limited to laying on a leather couch and staring at the ceiling while someone sitting out of view took notes. Luckily that is not always the case as we have learned in past episodes, and on this episode Seth Burkey from Harvard MedTech stopped by to blow our minds by explaining Vx Therapy, a comprehensive treatment program for veterans and civilians alike, where a VR headset is paired with treatment professionals in helping users with issues like fear, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and even pain!


This is a treatment recently authorized by the VA that veterans can request directly. Seth even brought a pair for us to try on the show, and we have to say, we were incredibly impressed with the information. We hope you will be too!

Our guest has climbed 6 of the 7 summits (highest mountains of each of the 7 traditional continents) with the seventh, Mt. Everest, on his radar for later this year. He has kayaked through the raging waters of the Colorado River that cuts through the Grand Canyon with an appetite that can only be satiated by extreme sports. He has lived this lifestyle while raising his three daughters as a single father.


In addition to all of this, he was rendered completely blind after a tragic hunting accident a few years after he got out of the military.


He is Lonnie Bedwell, and we had a blast talking to him.

Following that, Eric and Brad are joined by New York Times Best-selling author Sebastian Junger to talk about change throughout his illustrious career. Junger discusses how he wrote his initial claim to fame, "The Perfect Storm" which became the motion picture of the same name, and the gritty, real-world stories that followed, many of which involving soldiers in war. The group discusses tribal mentalities, freedom, and the many intimidating changes they have experienced throughout their lives.


Junger's body of work is far from his literary works, and also includes documentaries, multiple TED Talks, being a guest on podcasts to include The Tim Ferriss Show & The Joe Rogan Experience, and much more.


Junger has since started a nonprofit organization called "Vets Town Hall" where he invites veterans of all wars to share their personal stories with the public, and coincidentally was how Project Headspace and Timing started in the first place, after Eric was referred to Junger's book "Tribe."
