Can veterans heal PTSD without therapy, medication, or help from the VA? Today’s guest is proof they can. In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Robert Greene—a U.S. Navy veteran, author, and Founder of Unfiltered Wisdom—to explore his extraordinary journey of healing from PTSD and reclaiming purpose through unconventional means.
After facing long delays for treatment in the VA system and battling substance abuse, insomnia, and anxiety, Robert chose a radical path to recovery. His search for healing took him around the world—from building an eco-village with tribal communities in the Philippines, to training in Shaolin martial arts in China, practicing yoga and breathwork with monks in India, and finding peace through mindfulness, freediving, and meditation.
Now living in Bali, Robert shares insights from his book “Unfiltered Wisdom”, revealing how self-awareness, somatic healing, and emotional intelligence can help anyone overcome trauma, build resilience, and find purpose beyond pain.
