Tired isn’t the same as broken. But plenty of veterans never learn the difference, because admitting they’re tired feels like admitting something worse.
On this episode of The Bunkhouse Live, Jon sits down with Philippa “Pippa” Bagley: British Army Intelligence Corps veteran, Afghanistan deployment, program manager, and clinical hypnotherapist specializing in burnout and insomnia.
Pippa grew up a vicar’s kid, studied history, learned Russian, and joined the Army. Fifteen years of defense, science and intelligence program work followed. Today she’s Head of Delivery on a UK national science program, and she’s completing an MSc in the Neuroscience and Psychology of Mental Health at King’s College London. Her view is blunt: a lot of people don’t have a mental health problem; they have an emotional health problem.
In this conversation:
How the Intelligence Corps led to the therapy room
Burnout and sleep in people who’ve served, and why so few admit they’re tired
Building a life after service on your own terms, with more than one job title
Why our obsession with “pivotal moments” erases the people who just kept going
What 100+ podcast conversations have taught her about purpose
If you’ve been running on empty, or you love someone who has, this one is for you. Sometimes keeping going is the whole story.
