🍴🎙️ In this Side Salad segment of The Salad Bowl Podcast, host Kevin Thompson dives into the complex emotions surrounding his transition out of the military after years of service. Reflecting on the identity shifts that come with leaving a structured, purpose-driven environment, Kevin opens up about the challenges of detaching from a title that has defined him for so long. He explores why it’s essential to cultivate an identity beyond your occupation and how embracing your whole self—your passions, relationships, and values—can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life. Whether you’re a service member facing your own transition or anyone questioning “what’s next,” this episode is a reminder that who you are is always more than what you do.
