Ep 496 – The Fog of War and Humanity
Host: Richard Acritelli | Guests: Trisha Northover and Sean Duclay (Part 3)
In Part Three of The Fog of War and Humanity on hmTv, host Richard Acritelli is joined by Army veteran Trisha Northover and Sail Ahead co-founder Sean Duclay for a powerful conversation about healing, remembrance, and the lifelong impact of military service.
Trisha reflects on the deep honor shown to fallen service members, the emotional weight of surviving war, and the long road of healing from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving as a combat medic in Afghanistan. She speaks candidly about living with trauma, learning to manage it, and finding purpose in the life she was fortunate to come home to.
Sean Duclay shares how Sail Ahead, a nonprofit that uses sailing to help heal the scars of war, has created a safe and transformative space for thousands of veterans. Together, Trisha and Sean discuss the power of trust, the calming and spiritual effect of being on the water, and how sailing can become an important tool in a veteran’s healing journey.
The episode also explores camaraderie, alternative therapies for PTSD, the meaning of freedom, and the importance of reaching out for help. With honesty, warmth, and hope, Trisha offers a message of encouragement to veterans who may be struggling: healing is possible, and life after the darkness is still worth fighting for.
This is a moving and inspiring episode about resilience, community, and the human capacity to heal.
