At some point, you have to come out of the foxhole and take action.</p><p>This episode includes honest conversations about gun violence, military sexual assault, suicide, post-traumatic stress, and trauma recovery.</p><p>CONNECT WITH ANN</p><p>Instagram:<br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thefightafterthefight/">https://www.instagram.com/thefightafterthefight/</a></p><p>Facebook:<br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thefightafterthefight/">https://www.facebook.com/thefightafterthefight/</a></p><p>PODCAST SPONSOR</p><p>Rucking Realty Group<br><a href="https://ruckingrealtygroup.com/">https://ruckingrealtygroup.com/</a></p><p>MISSION SPONSOR</p><p>Apex Global Outdoors<br><a href="https://apexglobaloutdoors.com/">https://apexglobaloutdoors.com/</a></p><p>THE OUTREACH PROJECT APP IS NOW LIVE</p><p>Download The Outreach Project on the Apple App Store or search “The Outreach Project” in the Google Play Store.</p><p>Apple App Store:<br><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-outreach-project/id6766302601">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-outreach-project/id6766302601</a></p><p>Web App:<br><a href="https://theoutreachproject.app/">https://theoutreachproject.app</a></p><p>Website:<br><a href="https://www.theoutreach-project.com/">https://www.theoutreach-project.com/</a></p><p>Instagram:<br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_outreachproject/">https://www.instagram.com/the_outreachproject/</a></p>
