From Military Officer, Military Spouse to Music Student: A Leap of Faith

Ever wonder what it's like to chase a dream most would consider 'past their prime'? Picture this: Annette Whittenberger, a military veteran, military spouse of over 25 years, international keynote speaker, and podcast host, is pursuing music education in her late 40s. <br/><br/>With the help of the Veterans Rapid Retraining Assistance Program, she enrolled in the Musicians Institute of Hollywood, California, and did let nothing stand in her way - not age, not challenges, nothing. Our conversation takes you through her journey, with original music pieces and a resilience that's nothing short of inspirational. <br/><br/>But Annette's journey is not just about music. It is also about authenticity, connection, and mental health. She's a beacon, lighting the way for others to own their stories and be their true selves. In our chat, we explore the power of this authenticity and her work as a mental health advocate. What's more, we'll tell you how to follow her journey online, sharing her messages of strength and resilience. <br/><br/>This episode is a masterclass in embracing new challenges and the transformative power of honest conversation. Tune in for an experience that promises to be as touching as it is empowering.<br/><br/>Unarmored Talk Guest - Annette Whittenberger<br/>Parade Deck ➡https://paradedeck.com/creator..../awildridecalledlife the show<br/> Watch: Unarmored Talk Playlist Mario's socials: Parade Deck Support "Operation: Transition Outside the Wire" @https://operationtotw.org/ Email: host@unarmoredtalk.com Thank you for listening, sharing, and watching!
