Internal Vs. External: Cole Grace’s Path From Combat PTSD To Inner Peace
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, I sit down with Cole Grace, a combat veteran and author who walks us through a raw, transformative journey from the deserts of Iraq to the peaceful coastlines of Costa Rica. We talk about his time in the military where he performed bomb disposal missions under constant threat, the long-term physical and mental tolls that followed, and how he began to unravel the effects of PTSD, chronic pain, and identity loss.
Mr. Grace opens up about his post-service transition — from losing his military identity to struggling with invisible wounds and chronic stomach pain, possibly linked to radiation exposure. He shares the challenges of being told “it’s all in your head” and the heavy weight of feeling broken despite surviving war. He also walks us through his time working for the government, his eventual retirement, and how a search for peace led him to relocate to Costa Rica — only to discover that external changes couldn’t heal internal chaos.
In this episode, we dig into the truth behind internal healing. Mr. Grace shares insights from his new book, Internal > External: Calming the Chaos Within, and breaks down how gratitude, affirmations, personal mission statements, and mindset training helped him reprogram his life.
