25 JUN 2026 · What happens when the life you’ve spent decades building falls apart?
After serving in the military and spending 30 years in law enforcement, Chuck Fletcher found himself carrying far more than anyone around him could see.
Childhood trauma.
A devastating line-of-duty crash.
Traumatic brain injury.
The collapse of a 30-year marriage.
Years of putting everyone else first while quietly losing himself.
In this deeply personal conversation, Chuck reflects on what it was like to arrive at a Next 18 camp believing he had to carry everything alone, and how learning to slow down, breathe, and face the stories he’d buried began to change his life.
This isn’t a conversation about having all the answers.
