From insider attack survivor to leadership expert — this is the untold cost of combat trauma and resilience.

In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, I sit down with Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Bart Womack, author of Embedded Enemy. Bart shares his firsthand experience surviving a brutal insider attack during his time with the 101st Airborne Division, and what it taught him about trust, leadership, and mental toughness.

🔍 What you’ll hear:
– A harrowing account of the 2003 insider attack in Kuwait
– How trauma reshaped his view of service and security
– Critical leadership lessons from combat to civilian life
– The importance of situational awareness and mental resilience
– Why sharing these stories matters for our collective healing

This conversation goes beyond headlines — it’s a real look at how trauma tests character and forges strength.
