What happens when the identity you’ve built your entire life
around suddenly disappears?
After multiple combat deployments as an Air Force Explosive
Ordnance Disposal technician, Benjamin J. Lee came home carrying
invisible wounds that led to addiction, depression, and one
life-altering question:
Who am I without the uniform?
In this powerful episode of Notes From the
Edge, host Lisa Lacy sits
down with Benjamin for an honest conversation about identity,
trauma, recovery, and what it truly means to reinvent yourself
after life falls apart.
Together, they explore:
Why so many people struggle with identity instead of
motivation
The masks we wear to survive trauma and adversity
Life after military service and addiction
Shadow work without the jargon
Reinvention after divorce, career loss, illness, or major
life transitions
How to reconnect with the person beneath the roles you’ve
been playing
This episode isn’t just for veterans.
It’s for anyone who has ever wondered:
Who am I when the life I built no longer exists?
If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or disconnected from yourself,
this conversation offers hope, perspective, and practical wisdom
for finding your way back.
