Love and Resilience in Special Operations with Tom Satterly & Jenn Satterly (Part 1)

Jenn Satterly, an award-winning filmmaker and photographer with 15 years of experience, served as the Director of Film and Photography for an elite Special Operations training company, embedded with Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and Army Rangers. Passionate about supporting warriors and their families, she transitioned to become a certified health and wellness coach, co-founding the All Secure Foundation with her husband, Tom. This 501(c)3 non-profit organization helps Special Operations warriors and their families heal from the trauma of war, earning recognition as a top-rated non-profit. Jenn is also the founder of Virago, addressing women's challenges with PTS, and co-author of "Arsenal of Hope." Tom Satterly, a highly decorated combat veteran with 25 years of Army service, including 20 in Delta Force, led critical missions and fought in the Oscar-winning film "Black Hawk Down." Despite his military success, Tom faced post-traumatic stress and suicidal thoughts, leading to his advocacy for mental health. As co-CEO of All Secure Foundation, he and Jenn work to support combat families, and his best-selling book, "All Secure," chronicles his battles on the battlefield and homefront.
