A Veteran Owned Media Company
A Wild Ride Called Life, LLC,
created by a Retired Army Veteran, a Mother, Grandmother and a Military Spouse.
“This is where storytelling meets healing. After my Army career, I began sharing my journey through music, media, and writing—opening up about life, family struggles, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and trauma. My mission is to inspire others, end the stigma of mental health, prevent suicide, and remind you that you are never alone. This is my story. Let me help you share yours.”
A WILD RIDE CALLED LIFE PODCAST
LAUNCHING 11.11.25
Welcome to A Wild Ride Called Life Podcast, where storytelling and music come together as powerful tools for self-healing, reflection, and connection.
Created and hosted by Annette Whittenberger — U.S. Army retired combat veteran, advocate, media founder, journalist, and photographer — this podcast dives deep into the real, raw, and unfiltered moments of life’s journey. Through personal stories, heartfelt conversations, and musical reflections, we explore the challenges, triumphs, and lessons that shape who we are.
Annette’s passion for storytelling extends beyond the microphone. As a photographer, she captures moments in time — both on and off camera, and on and off the stage — serving as reminders of how far we’ve come and the beauty in the process of becoming.
Each episode gives space to elevate voices that deserve to be heard — from veterans and artists to entrepreneurs, survivors, and everyday people navigating life’s wild ride. Together, we embrace the truth that vulnerability is strength and that our stories are the bridges that connect us.
Through words, music, and imagery, A Wild Ride Called Life invites you to pause, reflect, and rediscover the healing power of storytelling.
Tune in, be inspired, and find your voice in the stories that unite us all.
