About this listen
What happens when military families share their stories—and what risks come with speaking out?
In this episode of Veteran Led, John S. Berry talks with Jennifer Barnhill, journalist, researcher, and the 2025 Armed Forces Insurance Navy Spouse of the Year. Barnhill has spent her career uncovering how military spouses and children experience service, and how safe storytelling can bridge the gap between civilian and military life.
They explore why families often hesitate to share openly, how leaders can protect those voices, and what true people-first leadership looks like when it includes spouses and kids. Barnhill also previews her upcoming book, The Military Stories You’ve Been Told and the Ones You Need to Hear, and why it’s time to center military families in the conversation about service and sacrifice.
