At just 19 years old, Simone Swartz joined the military with dreams, purpose and a desire to serve. Her experience would take her through military sexual assault, harassment, isolation and years of living with PTSD before she fully understood what she was experiencing.

In this powerful episode of Life’s Deceit™ Podcast, Simone shares her story with honesty and vulnerability.

We talk about the assault, what happened afterward, the impact of trauma, shame, addiction, finding the right support, faith, service dogs and the decision to finally use her voice.

Simone is now a veteran, author and mental health advocate. Through her book PTSD and What Helped Me and her advocacy for sexual assault survivors and service dogs, she is helping others understand that PTSD is treatable and that healing is possible.

This conversation is difficult at times, but it is also a story about resilience, purpose and reclaiming the power that was there all along.

Because sometimes legacy isn’t what happened to you. It’s what you choose to build after it.

Legacy by Choice | Chosen, Not Inherited
