On this episode of "Into the Unknown" When the military chapter ends, what comes next? In this raw and powerful conversation, host Jeremy Swick sits down with U.S. Army veteran, author, and medical healer Mindy Dougherty to explore her extraordinary journey through war, survival, systemic failure, and radical reinvention. From the battlefield to being bedbound, Mindy opens up about medical trauma, her fight to reclaim mobility, and the deeply personal reasons behind her autobiographical and children’s books.
This episode dives into complex truths—mental health after military service, alternative healing therapies, and why storytelling can be a lifeline for trauma survivors. Mindy doesn’t just share what she’s overcome—she reveals how she helps others find their voice, including children learning to trust their instincts. Whether you’re a veteran, a creator, or simply seeking human resilience in its purest form, this is a conversation that will shift how you see healing, purpose, and personal growth.
