What does it take to heal together after trauma?
In this deeply moving episode of Security Halt!, host Deny Caballero is joined by Jay and Kaila Fain—a couple who have faced the raw realities of trauma, military service, and recovery together. Their story sheds light on the emotional toll of mental health struggles, military sexual trauma (MST), and crisis recovery, while also offering hope through resilience, advocacy, and love.
Jay shares his personal experience as a veteran battling trauma and the journey toward healing, while Kaila opens up about her role as a supportive spouse, navigating the complex emotional landscape that comes with veteran care. Together, they unpack the importance of communication, trust, community support, and mental health resources, while calling attention to the urgent need for systemic change in how we support veterans and their families.
From battling broken systems to building strength through faith and friendship, this episode is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the strength found in standing by one another.
