Resilience Reset

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a few different things since the last post, and one of them is something new I’m testing called the Resilience Reset.

Sometimes life hits harder than expected, and you just need a minute. The Resilience Reset is a 30-minute one-on-one space to vent, unpack, and regroup — no judgment, no ranks, no paperwork. It’s held over Zoom or Google Meet, and it’s designed to give you a chance to breathe, think, and reset before life piles on too much weight.

Where It Started

The idea came from my 5-Minute Rule (5MR) — something I’ve used for years when everything feels too loud inside my own head. I set a timer, talk for five minutes straight, and let it all out — the anger, stress, frustration, guilt, or confusion. No filter. No pretending.

When the timer goes off, I stop, take a deep breath, and check in with myself: What stood out? What still feels heavy? What can I actually control?

That’s the foundation of the Reset. You talk; I listen. Together, we take those five minutes and unpack what’s been rolling around in your head — sometimes for days, weeks, or even longer. It’s about hearing yourself out loud, without judgment or shame, and finding a way to move forward instead of staying stuck.

What It’s Not

This isn’t therapy. I’m not a licensed therapist or clinician. This is peer-to-peer coaching — a chance to vent, process, and find perspective. You still have to take accountability for your own next steps. I’m just here to help you steady your footing and figure out which direction you want to move.

Why It Matters

We all carry a ruck — the invisible load filled with stress, mistakes, memories, and expectations. Sometimes we just need someone to help us repack it so we can keep moving.

This space gives you a pause to breathe, reset, and remind yourself that you can take control again — one small decision, one conversation, one reset at a time.

Final Thoughts

Take the weight off, reset your ruck, and keep moving forward.

Stay self-aware. Stay resilient. And as always — Life’s a B!tch, Get a Helmet.

Andrew Freimuth (FRI)

Co-Host/Co-Founder

Fri has been called many names over the years, some of them pretty great—like Hubby, Sergeant, and his personal favorite, Daddo! With over four decades of experience navigating life as a Multi-Purposed (MP) individual across two very different career fields, Fri has always made it his mission to assist family, friends, and soldiers in any situation.

Life hasn’t always been kind. Fri has faced more lows than highs and has been knocked down more times than he can count. Living with undiagnosed PTSD, depression, and anxiety for years, he eventually discovered a simple truth: helping others brings purpose and healing. But as fulfilling as that was, he realized the real challenge—and the real growth—came from learning how to take care of himself the way he cared for everyone else.

That journey began six years ago and continues today as Fri pursues his educational goals. Currently working toward a Bachelor of Applied Science in Technical Management with a concentration in Project Management, he’s not stopping there. Fri plans to push through to earn his MBA and eventually a DBA, both with a focus on Project Management. These aspirations are part of his commitment to continuous improvement and equipping himself with the tools to inspire and empower others.

This podcast is an extension of that mission. Fri shares his experiences, tools, and hard-earned lessons in the hope that they’ll resonate with someone else who might need them. His goal? To help others while continuing to help himself.
