Grin & Guardian Gang | Bridging the Gap: From Trauma to Transformation with Glen Williams

This week on The Grin & Guardian Gang we sit down with Glen Williams, a retired police officer and detective with 26 years of experience, and author of the powerful book, Bridging the Gap.

Glen isn't just another cop. He's a former dive team supervisor, firearms instructor, and someone who stared down the barrel of trauma on a daily basis. But the toll it took wasn't just on the streets - it impacted his personal life deeply.

In this episode, you'll hear Glen's inspiring story of transformation. Discussing the realities of police work: From optimistic rookie to jaded veteran, Glen will share the unfiltered truth about the challenges officers face.

The hidden scars of trauma: No badge can shield you from PTSD. Glen will discuss his personal struggles and how they led to isolation and divorce.

The power of communication: Glen will break down how he rebuilt his life by learning to open up and connect with others again.

Bridging the Gap: This isn't just Glen's story - it's a roadmap for anyone struggling with trauma, especially those in high-risk professions. We'll discuss Glen's impactful curriculum and mission to reduce PTSD, divorce, and suicide among law enforcement and public safety personnel.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the human side of the badge, the invisible wounds of trauma, and the power of resilience.
