How Do You Bounce Back When Tragedy Strikes?

In this episode, I’m joined by Barbara Allen.  Barbara Allen is a Gold Star Wife, keynote speaker, award-winning author, and co-host of the top podcast, American Snippets.  

She’s also been crowned an Honorary Miss America and won a NYS Press Association award. Her work was honored with an award from the Military Writers Society of America (MWSA). Additionally, she has been featured on Fox News, CNN, the Today Show, and recognized in the Military and Army Times.  Her story ran in headlines across the country and now she utilizes her platform to connect and surround herself with people who have their own extraordinary stories of resilience, courage, and success.  

Barb’s path began in 2005 when her husband, Lt Louis Allen, was killed in Iraq. Lou and the commanding officer were murdered by a fellow soldier. That soldier was ultimately acquitted after a lengthy judicial process, in spite of his submission of a guilty plea.

Tune in as we get into Barb’s incredible story and the many valuable lessons she learned from it that you can apply to your life today.
