Liermann, from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, is now a mom and is doing well growing her fitness brand. However, she struggled for years with PTSD and crippling anxiety. Like a “good soldier,” the veteran tried to push her feelings down. It didn’t work.
“A lot of us just suppress it, which then makes it worse,” Liermann said.
Receiving help, she slowly put the fractured pieces of her life back into place. Fitness classes helped blow off steam, and she received financial support via the Military Warriors Foundation and Wells Fargo. Through vehicle donations and mentoring programs, Wells Fargo assists veterans transitioning out of the military.
