This next guest is someone I deeply admire, and when I heard her incredible story. I was so moved and blown away by her courage and tenacity.
Paula Pedene is a nationally recognized public relations strategist, Veteran’s Affairs Whistleblower, and author. Her book is called A Sacred Duty. This is the true story of how a visually impaired, decorated Navy veteran’s life and family started to unravel when she’s targeted for retaliation after bringing to light mismanagement and harassment at a Veterans Administration hospital.
Psychologically crippled by the attacks – and battling financial ruin, ruthless superiors, a skeptical media, and her two sons’ emotional crises – she fights back, refusing to surrender to a system that is stacked against her.
Working with a bulldog congressional investigator, an ornery VA doctor, and a husband who believes in her, she becomes a central figure in exposing a conspiracy that rocked the nation, killed dozens of veterans, provoked nationwide outrage, and ultimately brought down the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
She is also a respected Navy Journalist and one of the original anchors of Navy Video News in the mid-80s.
A true pioneer and trailblazer!
