027: A Veteran's Journey of Advocacy and Resilience with Annette Whittenberger
Manage episode 470815993 series 3559888
Transitioning from military to civilian life is one of the biggest challenges veterans face, and mental health struggles often go unspoken. In this powerful episode of Your Radical Truth Podcast, host Margaret Mary O’Connor welcomes Annette Wittenberger, a retired U.S. Army veteran, mental health advocate, speaker, and author of The Wall Between Two Lives.
Annette shares her deeply personal story of navigating PTSD, anxiety, and depression after service, and how she turned her struggles into advocacy. As the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Veteran Lifestyle Magazine, she is on a mission to bridge the gap between military and civilian communities through storytelling and support.
We also tackle the urgent crisis of TRICARE delays, leaving veterans without access to critical mental health care. With potential VA job cuts impacting thousands, now is the time to take action and stand up for those who served.
Tune in for an eye-opening conversation about resilience, healing, and the fight for better veteran support.
