In this powerful episode of the Pegasus Perspective Podcast, host Amanda Held welcomes Marine Corps veteran and founder of Warrior Echo, Kellie Sharpe. Kellie opens up about her remarkable life journey, from growing up as an adoptee to her intense experiences in the Marine Corps, and how these moments shaped her resilience and purpose. As a field radio operator, Kellie was one of the first women on the ground in Iraq in 2003, where she faced not only the perils of combat but also the emotional and psychological weight of witnessing profound loss.

Through a candid conversation, Kellie reflects on how these experiences left her both shattered and strengthened, sparking her vision for Warrior Echo—a community-centered organization that aims to foster connection, safety, and well-being. In the aftermath of her service, Kelli turned to the healing power of horses, finding in them a mirror to her own struggles and an unexpected path to inner peace. Amanda and Kellie discuss pivotal moments in her journey, including an encounter with a particular horse that inspired her to release deeply held fears and embrace her true self.

Listeners will discover how Kellie transformed her hardships into a mission of support and connection, using research-based practices and the empathy honed through her own battles to help others. Her story is a testament to the power of vulnerability, the courage to confront darkness, and the strength in rebuilding one’s life with purpose.
