 Join Melon, Mike and Raf in their effort to push back against the chaos of life. Join these three close friends, who engage in very real, very raw, and transparent conversations about work, love, family, and everything in between. Their goal is simple. Help everyone listening by learning from their mistakes and victories, because we’re in this together. All three, veterans of multiple Middle East combat tours, two as pilots, one as a Special Operations soldier. In lock step, they are making their own effort to create a framework for anyone looking to push back against the chaos and optimize their own lives. They don’t claim to have all the answers, but they are willing to share what has worked and what has not, during their journeys.2022 Ciencias Sociales Desarrollo Personal Éxito Personal

    Ep: 094 -The Weight We Carry: Invisible Wounds from Service and Life
    May 20 2025
    In today’s episode, we talk about the weight that’s hardest to see — the one we carry inside. Whether you’re in military service, a first responder role, or simply the one everyone relies on, this episode speaks directly to you. We explore the silent struggles of burnout, PTSD, anxiety, and depression that too often go unspoken. Through honest storytelling and powerful insights, we’re breaking the stigma around mental health — especially for men and those trained to always stay strong. Drawing from military aviation, parenting, combat, and decades of leadership experience, we show how pausing in stillness and choosing a new identity in the moment can shift your trajectory. You’ll hear how to access strength in vulnerability, reclaim your mental rhythm, and begin to lay down what no longer needs to be carried. ⸻ In This Episode, We Cover: • How the role of “being strong for everyone” takes a toll • Subtle signs of burnout, emotional fatigue, and trauma • The power of stillness to access clarity and healing • Using the Identity → Actions → Outcomes framework to shift behavior • The 4 Archetypes from Stu Weber’s Tender Warrior: Leader, Warrior, Mentor, Friend – and how to step into each • Military parallels • Why honest conversations are acts of leadership ⸻ Featured Wisdom & Frameworks: • Stephen R. Covey – “Between stimulus and response, there is a space…” • Eckhart Tolle – Stillness as a gateway to transformation • Werner Erhard – Being responsible for how the world occurs to you • Stu Weber – Masculine identities that heal rather than harm • Pushing Back Chaos – Real stories, told by men who’ve walked through fire and come back with lessons ⸻ Listener Challenge: Speak one truth you’ve been carrying alone. Say it to a mate. A partner. A journal. Yourself. One moment of honesty might change everything. DM us and tell us what shifted. ⸻ Resources Mentioned: • Tender Warrior by Stu Weber • The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey • The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle ⸻ Throwbacks You’ll Love: • Ep. 92: The Power of Stillness – Finding Presence in the Noise • Ep. 91: Breaking the Stigma – Real Conversations About Struggle ⸻ Join the Conversation: Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or message us directly — we read every one.

  • Ep: 093 - Mental Health - The Stigma

    Ep: 093 - Mental Health - The Stigma
    May 13 2025
    May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the crew at Pushing Back Chaos is leading the charge with a powerful three-part series diving into some of the toughest questions and most necessary conversations surrounding mental health. Part 1: Stigma “The attachment of dishonor, embarrassment, or disgrace.” It exists—and we can’t ignore it. Roughly 1 in 5 people globally experience mental health challenges, yet the vast majority choose silence over speaking up. Why? Because of an invisible force that discourages honesty, vulnerability, and asking for help: stigma. Stigma grows from deep roots: A lack of emotional awareness in ourselves and others Misunderstanding or misidentifying signs and symptoms Fear of judgment and the discomfort of being seen as weak, broken, or imperfect As a result, too many suffer in silence—isolating, self-medicating, or relying solely on self-help, which often leads to deeper pain. But this is not the way. In this episode, Mike and Mellon open up about their personal experiences in the military and in life, sharing raw, honest moments where they had to choose between hiding and healing. They walk through their journeys toward recovery, guided by the godly pillars of Stu Weber’s framework: The Leader. The Warrior. The Mentor. The Friend. This episode isn’t easy—but it’s real. And it’s for you. We’re here to break the silence, build connection, and create a safe space for stories that need to be heard. We’d love to hear yours. Your voice matters, and your experience could be the bridge someone else needs. “Be open about being broken—it’s what keeps us together.” Connect with Us: • Follow Pushing Back Chaos on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or Amazon Music • Join the conversation on Facebook & Instagram • Share this episode to help kill the stigma and start the healing Hashtags: #HeroesMediaGroup #HMG #PushingBackChaos #TruthOverComfort #EmbraceTheChaos #LiveUnfiltered #BattleTestedMindset #ChaosToClarity #RiseThroughStruggle #HardenYourMind #MentalHealthAwareness #KillTheStigma Learn more about your ad choices.

    Apr 25 2025
    “Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found" - Eckhart Tolle Episode Overview In this episode, we go deep into the power of stillness — not as a luxury or escape, but as a weapon for clarity, control, and connection. Whether you’re navigating combat zones, high-stakes leadership, or the raw emotions of parenting, this conversation will give you the tools to find stillness in the noise — not after it. We explore: How to ground yourself in moments of chaos How stillness builds rhythm and presence into your daily life How military leadership, fatherhood, and spirituality all point to the same quiet center We also break down Stephen R.
