David Shoup on Destroying PTSD and Reclaiming Life After Combat

David Shoup on Destroying PTSD and Reclaiming Life After Combat

From Survival Mode to Total Freedom

On this episode of The ToosDay Crüe, hosts Jake and Stephen welcome US Marine Corps combat veteran David Shoup, founder of Warriors Awakening and a leading voice in the fight to eliminate PTSD from the lives of veterans and active-duty service members.

David served as an infantry rifleman during Operation Iraqi Freedom, with additional duties supporting special operations units in multiple environments. After leaving active duty, he faced the brutal reality many combat veterans know all too well—nightmares, rage, anxiety, isolation, and emotional chaos. But David refused to accept that PTSD was a life sentence.

Through years of intensive study, high-level coaching, and mission-focused action, David developed a powerful system rooted in psychological science, neurological strategies, and battlefield-tested discipline. His approach isn’t therapy—it’s an operational manual for freedom, designed to help warriors reclaim clarity, purpose, and control over their lives.

Today, David leads a national movement through Warriors Awakening, empowering veterans to fight back, take ownership of their healing, and live with strength and intention once again.
