Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked - The Podcast!
He Was a Cop, a Leader, and in Pain — What PTSD Almost Cost Him
This week on Warriors Unmasked, retired police officer, author, and national speaker Glen Williams opens up about the silent toll of PTSD.
From leading others in uniform to quietly falling apart inside, Glen shares how he lost his marriage, isolated himself, and had to rebuild from the inside out. He spent three years alone in a cabin — and came back not only stronger, but more open, more honest, and more connected than ever before.
Now a speaker and the author of Bridging the Gap, Glen shares his hard-won insights on communication, accountability, healing, and rebuilding relationships — at home and at work.
Whether you’re a first responder, a leader, or someone who’s been pushing through instead of reaching out, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not alone, and it’s never too late to come back to yourself.
Always in your corner, Chuck
