Podcast appearances and mentions of annette whittenberger

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. https://yourradicaltruth.com/027-Annette-Whittenberger

Get ready for this episode as you will hear from U.S. Army Veteran, Author and Busines owner Annette Whittenberger.  Listen to her story as she shares the why for writing her book “The Wall Between Two Lives” and hear how a car accident made her make a “decision” that would forever impact her life and the lives of others. “So I'll tell you, when you guys get the book, you're worried a little bit about my car accident. And I was at home and I was in recovery. And I had to make a decision on whether I was going to choose to live with what my struggles were, or if I was going to suffer from them. And that was a huge decision because I always was the victim and everything and even with a car seat and it was like boohoo me I have to use a wheelchair, I have to use a cane, I have to do all these things. I had to make a decision on how I was going to spend the rest of my life whether it was you know, limping all the time, or whatever the case was on how I recovered from it. And I chose to say, Okay, let's is it I have this, and I'm going to own it and not be afraid to talk about it anymore” ~Annette Whittenberger
