In this deeply personal episode of Beyond the Battlefield, I’m joined by my brother, Toby Osborne, former Parachute Regiment sergeant and the founder of Optimal First Aid. With a wealth of combat experience from Iraq and Afghanistan, Toby has transitioned to delivering top-tier outdoor first aid training, equipping others with essential lifesaving skills that go far beyond ticking a box.

We explore our shared upbringing, the pivotal life choices that shaped our paths, and the realities of military service. Together, we confront the challenges of PTSD, mental health, and the profound impact of losing our father.

This conversation is raw, real, and filled with lessons on resilience, purpose, and finding strength in adversity. It’s one you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of Beyond the Battlefield, I sit down with Will Petty, a former Navy pilot turned Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and mindset coach for Warrior Wellness Movement. Will brings a unique perspective, blending his military background with his expertise in mental health and behavioural change.

We dive into the challenges of Royal Marines training, the mental toll of military life, and the common struggles many face after transitioning to civilian life. From mindset shifts to practical strategies for overcoming post-service obstacles, this conversation sheds light on what it takes to rebuild resilience and find purpose beyond the uniform.

This is a must-listen for anyone navigating their own mental health journey or looking for insights on the power of mindset.
