Glen Gilbert welcomes retired law enforcement officer and author, Glen Williams, for a candid conversation about life after the uniform. After 26 years on the front line, Williams discovered his toughest battles began when he put the badge away. He opens up about the toll of his service, detailing his struggle with PTSD, enduring two divorces, and nearly losing himself to unhealthy coping mechanisms before finding the tools to rebuild his life from the inside out. This is an essential discussion for both men and women seeking relationship wisdom and a deeper understanding of the silent struggles faced by those in high-risk, trauma-exposed professions. Williams dives into the pivotal moments and recovery tools that helped him, emphasizing the critical role of self-accountability and making conscious decisions in every moment. He shares his personal journey of dismantling the walls he built for protection, learning to embrace vulnerability as a strength, and leveraging the power of open communication to bridge the emotional gaps in relationships. Glen Williams, author of Bridging the Gap, inspires listeners to find a new purpose outside of their careers, reminding everyone that their most important legacy will always be with their family.
