What’s Barb’s Story And How Does She Help

Adversity isn’t all the same and your Speakers shouldn’t be, either. So Barb brings as much unique humor, wit, and insight to her work, as her incredible story demands. Barb is the surviving spouse of Lt Louis Allen, who was murdered by a fellow soldier while in Iraq. She’s the mom of four boys. She’s triumphed over several different versions of her own unique hell, beginning in the seventh grade when she endured two years of harassment that caused her to be suicidal, to losing the first person who made her feel loved, to the traumatic murder trial and watching the man who admitted his guilt set free, to an abusive relationship and more. Basically, she’s every country song ever written – almost, anyway. Today Barb is an accomplished Speaker who’s shared the stage with the Greats, including Nick Vujicic and David Webb. Barb is featured in  books by Taya Kyle and Marie Cosgrove. She’s passionate about helping people overcome adversity, and giving back to the country she loves.
