In this episode my guest, Barb Allen is sharing how her tragedy became her triumph.

Talking Points:

• What inspired you to start American Snippets
• Please tell us more about the event, The Great American Summit!
• Tell us about your first book, Front Towards Enemy; what inspired you to write it?
• If you feel trapped under the weight of pain, grief, trauma, and hopelessness, how to let it go?
• If you could only advise people one thing in your whole life, what would that be?

Guest

Barbara Allen @americansnippets is co-founder of the patriotic company, American Snippets. Her work centers on strengthening the country she loves by helping patriotic Americans connect, collaborate, and conquer challenges together. She is co-host of the popular American Snippets podcast, as well as a powerful speaker, personal mentor, and best-selling author. 

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. 

Her personal and professional tragedies and triumphs introduced Barb to mentors that guided her through her challenges. She passed that insight on to hundreds of veterans she counseled as a Veterans Services Officer, and shares it with her audiences and people she professionally mentors today.
