#162 Choosing to be “Better” over “Bitter” with Anthony Dyer
In this episode, we talk to Anthony Dyer. He describes himself as patient, resilient and persistent. Anthony lives in the United States. Anthony tells us about sitting on a comma after retiring from the Air Force. Anthony’s identity was fundamentally shaped by the roles he played and the profound impact he had on saving the lives of those he served with. When it was time to leave, he was left with the memories, isolation and a vacuum of purpose. This led Anthony into a dark relationship with alcohol and more. As he recognized the trajectory of his path, he sought redemption that ultimately led him to a new mission with family, writing and helping others. Tune in to hear what Anthony means when he says “There’s no door handle to get back in.”You can find Anthony on:Amazon Book: https://a.co/d/0703SuPk Instagram: @ marco_brolo21TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marco.brolo6?_r=1&_t=ZP-95cRQ53lvXaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-dyer-3024591a6/Email: anthonyp.dyer@gmail.comAnthony would like to acknowledge the following individuals, organizations and/or causes that matter to him and invite you to consider supporting them and/or sharing their messages:Equinox Ranch in North Carolina https://www.equinoxranch.org For many returning combat veterans, their homecoming was not the celebration that they or their loved ones dreamed about while they were deployed. These veterans cope with invisible wounds that lead to emotional numbness, anger, depression, anxiety, isolation and hyper vigilance. Attempting to distance themselves from pain and its debilitating effects, they try to repress the intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and nightmares. Military training, fear of psychiatric labels, and lack of trust makes it difficult to ask for help.My Parents, who believed in meRobbie Grayson, my publisher https://www.traitmarkermedia.com I'm Robbie Grayson, a quality liaison for stories.
