In this episode of TRC Meets, we chat with Heather Hartley, an Army veteran who served in the British Armed Forces as a bomb disposal expert. After two decades of service, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, Heather faced the challenge of severe PTSD.
As a single parent navigating life after the military, she had a pivotal moment on Remembrance Day when she laced up an old pair of running shoes and went for her first run in years. Life started to kick in again. Today, Heather embraces a renewed sense of purpose through running, having completed both full and ultra-marathons, with many more challenges on the horizon.
Content warning: Topics that we discuss in this episode include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and military and bomb disposal experiences.
