What Did Strength Cost You? | Identity — The 1st Silent War | Chris Chandler-Yates
19/09/2026 | 44 mins.Send us Fan Mail
What happens when the version of you that keeps everyone safe starts costing you the people you love?
For men in policing, military service, first response, and other high-pressure careers, control, vigilance, emotional restraint, and the ability to stay composed under pressure can become part of who you are.
Those traits may make you exceptional at the job.
But what happens when they never switch off?
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Chris Chandler-Yates, a former New Zealand police officer who spent seven and a half years in law enforcement, including nearly four years in protection services.
Burnout and PTSD eventually forced Chris to confront what the job had changed—not only in his health, but in his identity, his behavior, and his marriage.
Today, Chris is a men’s coach, speaker, and host of Motivated Masculine Men, where he focuses on burnout, relationships, purpose, and healthier definitions of masculinity.
Together, Mike and Chris explore Identity — The 1st Silent War and a question that goes far beyond leaving a uniform or badge behind:
Which parts of the person you became still serve you—and which parts are hurting the life you were trying to protect?
Chris speaks openly about how quickly policing began changing him. He remembers becoming more reactive, increasingly hyperaware, emotionally shut down, and constantly prepared for something to go wrong.
Eventually, things deteriorated to the point that he nearly cheated on his wife and told her he wanted a divorce.
Instead of walking away, his wife challenged him to get help.
A counselor recognized burnout and probable PTSD and encouraged him to step away. What followed became part of Chris’s rebuilding process: a three-month, roughly 8,000-mile motorcycle journey designed to help him reconnect with himself.
That trip became more than an escape.
It became an opportunity to ask:
Who am I underneath the cop?
Chris describes how policing taught him to switch into a particular persona—the person who needed to remain alert, controlled, and capable when everyone else was moving away from danger.
Mike and Chris discuss the importance of learning how to intentionally “switch off” that identity when the shift ends. Chris shares examples of officers using physical anchors—zipping up a vest, tying boots, or entering the station—to signal when the professional role begins and ends.
Because the goal is not to eliminate the warrior.
It is learning when you need him.
This conversation directly connects to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I beyond the badge, uniform, or role?”
Control — The 4th Silent War: “Can I stop trying to control everything around me just to feel safe?”
Connection — The 3rd Silent War: “Can I communicate honestly enough to stay connected to the people I love?”
Emotional Armor — The 7th Silent War: “What protected me on the job but keeps me closed off at home?”
Trust — The 5th Silent War: “Can I safely open up, ask for help, and let someone see what I’m carrying?”
One of the strongest themes in this episode is communication.
Chris describes trauma like putting rotten fruit into a box and hiding it away. You may surround it with good memories and keep functioning, but if you never deal with what is inside, eventually it begins affecting everything around it.
For Chris, asking for help was not about becoming weaker.
It was about becoming a better husband, a better man, and a healthier version of himself.
He and Mike also talk candidly about marriage and why real connection often requires taking off the emotional “vest” and allowing yourself to be vulnerable.
Chris credits brutal honesty and communication as major reasons his marriage survived some of its darkest moments.
His message to men is simple:
You can still be strong.
You can still protect.
You can still run toward danger when everyone else is running away.
Just don’t lose yourself in the process.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How high-pressure careers can quietly become part of your identity
Why traits that make you effective professionally can damage relationships at home
How burnout and PTSD began showing up in Chris’s behavior and marriage
What his 8,000-mile motorcycle journey helped him rediscover
How intentional anchors can help separate work identity from home identity
Why risk-taking can become a way of trying to feel something again
How unprocessed trauma can begin affecting every other part of life
Why asking for help is an act of courage rather than weakness
How honest communication can rebuild connection in a relationship
Why healthy masculinity includes knowing when to put the armor down
If something in this conversation sounded familiar, don’t just move on.
Ask yourself:
What part of the person I became to survive am I still carrying into places where I no longer need it?
Then do what Chris says changed everything for him:
Communicate.

Chris’s motto is “Train hard, test easy.”
Because life will continue to test us—and sometimes real strength means training ourselves not only to put the armor on, but to know when it is finally safe to take it off.

Support the showWhen Did You Start Doubting Yourself? | Identity — The 1st Silent War | Laura Ollinger
12/09/2026 | 33 mins.Send us Fan Mail
When did you first start questioning whether you were good enough?
For many people, that story begins early—through grades, sports, appearance, approval, responsibility, or trying to become the version of ourselves we believe others will accept.
Over time, those messages can become part of our identity until we stop asking who we are and start measuring ourselves by how well we perform.
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Laura Ollinger, a teen and parent well-being coach, motivational youth speaker, mom of four teens, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Neuroencoding Specialist, and host of the Positively Healthy Mom podcast.
Together, Mike and Laura explore Identity — The 1st Silent War and one of the most important questions we can ask:
Who gets to decide who you are?
Laura shares the idea behind her signature message, The Decider, and how her own personal work led to a powerful realization:
“I’m the decider of my worth.”
That idea becomes the center of this conversation.
Mike and Laura discuss how self-doubt can form, how achievement can become tied to identity, and how parents can unintentionally reinforce the belief that worth is something that must be earned.
They also explore the difference between praising outcomes and recognizing effort, courage, growth, and willingness to try.
Because when someone only feels seen after the grade, the goal, the win, or the accomplishment, they can begin to believe:
“I matter when I perform.”
This conversation directly connects to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Whose voice gets to define who I am?”
Self-Worth — The 6th Silent War: “Is my value based on what I accomplish?”
Connection — The 3rd Silent War: “Do I still belong when I disappoint someone?”
Control — The 4th Silent War: “Can I allow someone I love to make their own choices?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “Am I learning to make decisions for myself?”
Mike and Laura also discuss the fine line between protection and control.
Technology, monitoring, rescuing, and trying to prevent every mistake can come from love—but they can also unintentionally communicate:
“I don’t trust you to figure this out.”
Laura explains the importance of autonomy support: giving teens and young adults age-appropriate opportunities to make decisions, experience consequences, and build confidence through real-life problem solving.
Because confidence does not come from never failing.
It comes from discovering:
“I made a mistake—and I can handle what comes next.”
The conversation also goes deeper into generational patterns.
What did you have to do growing up to receive attention, praise, acceptance, or love?
What did your family teach you about success, failure, image, responsibility, and worth?
And which of those messages might you be carrying forward without realizing it?
Laura’s message is not about blaming yourself or your parents.
It is about awareness.
Once you recognize the patterns that shaped you, you can decide which ones you want to keep—and which ones stop with you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
When self-doubt and identity struggles can begin developing
What Laura means by becoming “The Decider”
Why self-worth and achievement can become dangerously connected
How praising effort and courage can build healthier confidence
Why over-rescuing can undermine resilience and independence
How autonomy support helps teens learn to trust themselves
How family patterns shape identity across generations
Why perfectionism, anxiety, procrastination, and shutdown can be connected
How open-ended curiosity can create more connection than criticism
Why meaningful change can start with one small action
If this conversation made you recognize something in yourself, your children, or the way you were raised, don’t use that awareness as another reason to judge yourself.
Use it as information.
Ask yourself:
Whose voice has been deciding who I am—and is it time for me to become the decider?

What happens when the uniform comes off—but part of you still needs that chapter of your life to be seen?
And what happens when people do not even recognize that you were the one who served?
For many veterans, transition is not simply about leaving the military. It is about deciding what parts of service you carry forward, what parts you release, and how you build a new identity without pretending that the person you were no longer matters.
For women veterans, there can be another layer entirely:
What happens when your service becomes invisible?
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Brittinie Wick, an eight-year U.S. Air Force veteran and former intelligence analyst who supported the RPA community and operations across the Middle East and Africa.
Today, Brittinie is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, fitness professional, military spouse, mother of four, advocate for women veterans, and founder and host of the Women Serve Too podcast—a platform created to help military women and veterans tell their stories, feel seen, and connect with others who understand what they have experienced.
Together, Mike and Brittinie explore Identity — The 1st Silent War.
Brittinie knew at a young age that military service was part of her calling. The events of September 11 deeply affected her as a child, and not long afterward, even a Disney movie—Cadet Kelly—helped reinforce the picture she had begun forming of women in military service.
At 18, she joined the Air Force.
The reality she encountered was far more complicated than the image she had imagined.
As an intelligence analyst, Brittinie learned to work in an environment where information mattered, mistakes had consequences, and some of the most important things happening in her life could not be discussed with the people closest to her.
She also experienced moments when her expertise was overlooked, questioned, or simply not heard—experiences that added another layer to what it meant to establish herself as a young woman serving in the military.
Then service became painfully personal.
Brittinie shares the impact of losing her friend Zach in the Frankfurt Airport shooting, the fear she experienced while her then-fiancé was deployed to Afghanistan, and what it was like receiving intelligence about attacks near his location while being unable to reach him.
She describes the panic, hypervigilance, compartmentalization, and pressure of knowing things she could not talk about while working in a culture where seeking mental-health support often carried stigma.
Years later, the Las Vegas shooting brought much of that trauma back to the surface.
And underneath those experiences was a much larger question:
Who was she becoming because of everything she had lived through?
This conversation connects directly to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I when the uniform, role, and security clearance no longer define me?”
Mission — The 2nd Silent War: “What do I do when the path I thought I was supposed to follow changes?”
Connection — The 3rd Silent War: “Where can I find people who actually understand what I experienced?”
Emotional Armor — The 7th Silent War: “What did I learn to keep inside because I believed I could not talk about it?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “How do I build a meaningful next chapter when the original plan no longer fits?”
Brittinie’s transition after service was anything but linear.
She originally believed law school and eventually politics were part of her future. After being rejected from law school twice, she had to reconsider a plan she had carried for years.
That pivot eventually led to an MBA, work in fitness, and then another realization: she was already spending much of her time helping clients work through physical limitations and injuries.
So she changed direction again.
Today, she is a licensed physical therapist.
Her story is a powerful reminder that changing direction does not mean you failed the original mission.
Sometimes it means you finally discovered the next one.
But one part of Brittinie’s identity continued to bother her.
She and her husband had both served, yet people routinely thanked him for his service while assuming she was the military dependent—even when she handed them her own active-duty military ID.
She remembers thinking:
Women serve too. Why is that so hard for people to understand?
Eventually, that frustration became a mission.
Through the Women Serve Too podcast, Brittinie gives military women and veterans space to tell their own stories—from leadership and motherhood to PTSD, military sexual trauma, transition, entrepreneurship, and the struggle to rediscover purpose after the uniform comes off.
And in helping other women tell their stories, Brittinie discovered something important about her own:
Connection can be healing.
Hearing another person describe something you thought you were carrying alone can create one of the most powerful realizations possible:
“That happened to me too.”
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why leaving the military can create a deeper identity struggle than simply changing careers
How women veterans can become invisible even when they were the ones who served
How September 11 influenced Brittinie’s decision to join the Air Force
What intelligence work taught her about responsibility, secrecy, and compartmentalization
How losing a friend to terrorism changed the way she experienced her own mission
What it was like receiving intelligence about danger near her deployed fiancé while being unable to contact him
How trauma and hypervigilance can continue long after the original event
Why transitioning from military service required Brittinie to repeatedly redefine her direction
How two law-school rejections eventually led her toward physical therapy
Why Brittinie created Women Serve Too
How hearing other veterans’ stories can reduce isolation and help people feel seen
Why your military chapter can remain part of you without becoming the only thing that defines you
If something in this conversation made you think, “That’s me,” “I’ve felt that,” or “Finally—someone sees it,” don’t immediately move on.
Sit with it for a moment.
Then take one action.
Reach out to someone. Share your story. Listen to another veteran’s story. Send this episode to somebody who needs to hear it.
Information alone does not create change.
Action does.

What happens when the rank comes off?
When the title disappears, the structure changes, and the position that helped define you for decades suddenly belongs to someone else?
For many veterans and leaders, transition is not simply about finding another job. It can force a much deeper question:
Who am I when the authority, recognition, and identity attached to my role are gone?
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Neco Johnson, a retired U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant with 28 years of service. During his career, Neco served as a First Sergeant, Command First Sergeant, and Commandant of the Air Force First Sergeant Academy. Today, he is the founder and CEO of First Class Leadership, a keynote speaker, executive coach, leadership consultant, and author of The Power of Pivots.
Together, Mike and Neco explore Identity — The 1st Silent War and what it takes to separate who you are from the rank, title, uniform, or position that once helped define you.
Neco’s story begins long before he became a Chief Master Sergeant. At 17, he became a father—something he admits terrified him enough that he initially ran from the responsibility. A direct intervention from his mother forced him to face what he was avoiding, and that moment became one of the first major pivots of his life.
The desire to become the father he wanted to be eventually helped lead him into the Air Force and began a 28-year journey of growth, responsibility, and leadership.
But one of the most powerful lessons Neco learned was that leadership was never really about the rank.
He began his Air Force career as an HVAC technician. Troubleshooting mechanical systems taught him not to react only to the symptom in front of him, but to diagnose the entire system.
Later, he realized people require the same kind of curiosity.
Poor performance may not simply be poor performance. Behind it could be fear, self-doubt, conflict, problems at home, lack of trust, or someone who simply does not believe in themselves.
That realization helped shape Neco’s approach to authentic leadership: understand the person before trying to fix the problem.
This conversation connects directly to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I when the rank and title no longer define me?”
Fear — The 9th Silent War: “Am I being called to pivot—or am I simply afraid of what comes next?”
Self-Worth — The 6th Silent War: “Does my value change when the recognition and authority disappear?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “How do I take everything I learned and find where it belongs next?”
Legacy — The 10th Silent War: “Did I build something strong enough to continue without me?”
Neco offers a powerful perspective for anyone struggling with transition: if the organization continues to thrive after you leave, that does not diminish what you contributed.
It may actually be evidence that you led well.
The uniform may come off, but the discipline, character, communication skills, experience, and ability to influence others do not disappear with it.
Civilian leadership is simply different.
People may no longer follow because rank requires them to.
The bigger opportunity is becoming the kind of person they choose to follow.
Neco also shares ideas from The Power of Pivots, including why growth often requires moving before you have complete certainty.
He challenges the familiar idea of constantly stepping “outside” your comfort zone. Instead, he suggests enlarging your comfort zone. Every time you confront something uncomfortable, develop competence, and move through it successfully, what once frightened you becomes part of what you now know you can handle.
He breaks that growth process into four C’s:
Commitment — Decide that you are going to do the difficult thing.
Competence — Develop the ability through repetition and experience.
Confidence — Allow competence to create evidence that you can handle it.
Curiosity — Begin asking, “What else am I capable of?”
And when emotions threaten to stop forward movement, Neco offers another simple framework: ACT.
Acknowledge. Choose. Take Action.
Acknowledge the fear, anxiety, frustration, or emotion that is present.
Choose to move forward according to the standard you set before the emotion took over.
Then take action.
Because knowledge alone does not change your life.
Applied knowledge does.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why rank and title can quietly become part of your identity
How to separate authentic leadership from positional authority
Why everything you developed in the military still matters after transition
How Neco went from becoming a father at 17 to serving 28 years in the Air Force
What HVAC troubleshooting taught him about understanding and developing people
Why character should matter more than rank
How to know when fear and a genuine life pivot may be colliding
Why Neco believes we should enlarge our comfort zones rather than simply step outside them
How commitment, competence, confidence, and curiosity build personal growth
How the ACT framework can help you move forward when emotion tells you to stop
Why your greatest leadership test may come when nobody is required to follow you
If something in this conversation resonated with you, don’t immediately move on.
Ask yourself:
If the rank, title, position, or role disappeared tomorrow—what would still be true about who I am?

When was the last time you genuinely couldn’t wait for tomorrow?
For many veterans, leaders, parents, and high performers, there comes a point when life starts feeling more like routine than anticipation. The career changes. The kids grow up. The old mission ends. The days keep moving—but the question quietly becomes:
What am I actually looking forward to now?
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with his friend Marcus Weiss—actor, director, producer, Joy Empowerment Coach, performer, and Dual Elite Certified Neuroencoding Specialist whose career has included Blue Man Group and Cirque du Soleil.
Marcus also shares a much more personal part of his story. Growing up in Switzerland on welfare and later experiencing depression in college, he found safety, expression, and eventually purpose through performance. Theater became what he describes as a kind of cocoon—a place where he could explore emotion, rewrite the script, connect with others, and rediscover what it felt like to be alive.
Together, Mike and Marcus explore Mission — The 2nd Silent War through a question that goes deeper than simply asking, “What should I do next?”
What makes you want to experience the next moment?
Marcus explains that looking forward to tomorrow is not necessarily determined by what is happening outside of us. The future is uncertain. What shapes our experience of it is often the meaning we attach to what we imagine is coming.
“I have to go to work tomorrow” and “I’m going to work tomorrow” describe the same event—but they can create completely different internal experiences.
Marcus introduces what he calls a “lily pad” between I have to and I get to. If gratitude or excitement feels too far away, you do not have to force yourself there. Start smaller. Remove the judgment. Acknowledge what you are doing. Then begin intentionally recognizing and celebrating the moments when you show up.
The goal is not fake positivity.
It is building the ability to create more moments of aliveness, gratitude, meaning, and anticipation—one small, consistent step at a time.
This conversation directly connects to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Mission — The 2nd Silent War: “What am I living for now?”
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I beneath the roles and masks I’ve learned to wear?”
Self-Worth — The 6th Silent War: “Can I recognize that I am worthy before I accomplish something for someone else?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “What is pulling me toward tomorrow instead of keeping me anchored to yesterday?”
Emotional Armor — The 7th Silent War: “What happens when I allow myself to be vulnerable and let people see who I really am?”
One of the most powerful parts of the conversation comes when Mike asks how veterans can accept that their next mission may be quieter and more personal than the mission they once knew.
Marcus compares it to putting a toe into still water.
The ripple may begin small, but it still travels.
A quieter mission is not necessarily a lesser mission.
And Marcus makes an important point: the mission has to begin with you. You cannot show up for the people around you if you never learn to show up for yourself.
He also challenges the idea that you need one massive life purpose before you can begin moving forward. Start with what already creates a spark. Notice a moment that feels good. Acknowledge that you helped create it. Celebrate it. Repeat it.
Over time, those small moments can help reveal something larger:
Your why.
Not something you are running away from—but something meaningful enough to pull you forward.
Because forward includes tomorrow.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why having an okay life is different from having something you genuinely look forward to
How the meaning you attach to tomorrow shapes how you experience it today
Marcus’s “lily pad” between “I have to” and “I get to”
Why forced positivity is not the answer
How small, consistent actions help build emotional momentum
Why acknowledging and celebrating progress matters
How to recognize when something in your life feels out of alignment
Why your next mission does not have to be loud or enormous to matter
How self-worth and mission are connected
Why finding something that pulls you forward can make tomorrow matter again
If something in this conversation made you stop, think, or feel something—don’t immediately move on.
Ask yourself:
What am I looking forward to?
And if you don’t have an answer yet, start smaller:
What is one thing I could put back into my life that makes me feel more alive?
