Amber and Marcus Capone sit down on their anniversary to talk about the overlooked half of the veteran healing journey: the spouse. They share why healing one person is never enough, what the integration period asks of a marriage, and how both partners can do the work to rebuild trust and connection.

Recorded from lived experience and years of supporting military families, this is an honest conversation about holding trauma, feeling left behind, and learning to heal as a couple.

For veterans, military families, couples, first responders, and anyone navigating healing, growth, and reinvention.

On their 26th wedding anniversary, Amber and Marcus Capone talk honestly about how they stayed together through the hardest years of their marriage.

Marcus sits down again with Dr. Michael Sapiro, Buddhist monk, clinical psychologist, and psychedelic therapist, for Part 2 of Marcus and the Monk. This conversation is about integration: the work that happens after a psychedelic journey.

In this episode of Conversations with the Capones, Marcus and Dr. Sapiro walk through the four domains of whole-person healing, why embodied gratitude is different from list-making, how to retrain intrusive thoughts and the inner critic, what reconnecting with a spouse looks like after years of disconnection, and what Marcus's last ibogaine experience surfaced about the spiritual dimension of healing.

This is a peer-to-peer conversation between Marcus and his coach. Marcus shares openly about ongoing integration work and what his most recent journey opened up.

For veterans, military families, couples, first responders, and anyone navigating healing, growth, and reinvention.
