Doug White is a U.S. Air Force veteran and retired law enforcement officer who turned his near-breaking point into purpose. Now retired, he helps veterans, responders, and families return home whole and redefine purpose after service. He’s the award-winning author of Hiding in Plain Sight and host of the Tell This Story podcast. Doug speaks plainly about PTS, over-identifying with the job, and rebuilding purpose at home. His message: resilience is the base, not the goal. Finding meaning in the struggle, moving forward with intention, and finding growth and purpose make you stronger than before.
