What happens when a 9-year-old girl witnesses her mother’s death—and no one talks about it?This week’s guest, Breane, grew up in rural Montana where silence was survival. After watching her epileptic mother die and being told to “move on,” Brianna buried her pain for years. But trauma has a way of demanding to be felt.From oil fields in North Dakota to raising three boys in the mountains, anxiety and emotional numbness shadowed every chapter—until she broke the cycle. Today, Brianna is the founder of Montana Grit, a one-of-a-kind program helping female veterans and first responders heal through raw, backcountry experiences. No Instagram therapy fluff—just real women, in the wild, doing the deep inner work no one talks about.Her mission was born from pain: “I am the product of veterans and first responders who never got help.” Now she’s created the thing she wished existed—off-grid resilience and recovery for those who serve, and too often suffer in silence.To help support Breane's non-profit visit: @Montana_grit_outdoorsSend us a textSupport the showFollow Wild Chaos on Social Media: Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wild-chaos-podcast/id1732761860Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KFGZ6uABb1sQlfkE2TIoc?si=8ff748aa4fc64331 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildchaospodcastBam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bambam0069Youtube: https://youtube.com/@wildchaospodTikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildchaospodcastMeta (Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheWildChaosPodcast
