What happens when a life-changing brain injury becomes part of a much bigger journey?

In this episode of the Western Edge Living Podcast, Bill Palanuk sits down with Linda Little to hear the remarkable story behind her journey—from suffering a brain injury to ultimately finding herself at the Pentagon.

Linda's story is one of resilience, determination and unexpected turns. Her experiences reveal what can happen when you refuse to let circumstances define you and continue moving forward, even when the path takes you somewhere you never expected to go.

This is more than a conversation about what happened to Linda. It's a conversation about overcoming adversity, finding purpose, and discovering what you're capable of when life changes the plan.
