  • Great episode!

    I have been listening to this podcast for a bit now, and it has been a breath of fresh air!

    Nov 22nd episode was great to listen to! Thank you both! Having transitioned to the Reserves a few months ago has been so challenging and although I think I am doing okay, the identity crisis is real!

    It’s a grief and also a rebirth journey wrapped in one.

    I was very inspired by Kayla’s post-military career. I have been considered life coaching in the future, and listening to the positive influence ... more

  • Rape and Sexual Harassment in the Military

    I appreciated hearing this story. However, the content in regards to the guests experience was a small part of the podcast. Personally, I would prefer to hear more details about the experience for women both from a negative and positive experience. Not reporting is common and going into more detail about what happens when someone does report would be helpful. Some women have received excellent help (after the military) but that is not common. It was not until 1992 that the VA even had any inpati... more

  • Informative and inspirational

    I found this podcast about 6 months ago, and I’m so glad I did. I’m just beginning my Air Force career, and I’ve found the stories shared on this podcast incredibly helpful and interesting. I feel I have a better grasp of what to expect joining the military, and how I might respond in challenging situations many women face during their service.

    As an aside, I would love to hear an interview focused on being a single female in the military! Many of these interviews share stories of women jugglin... more

  • Sharing stories..love it!

    I love how Amanda brings different guests on the show to show their perspectives and highlight their stories. Everyone has a story, and if you’re like me, it’s interesting to hear but it helps me in my own understanding and growth as I can relate to those stories.

    Amanda inspires me! Thank you for giving voice to the fairly “invisible force” we call women Veterans. I appreciate her work and as a career USAF Veteran, being a guest on her podcast. In my interview, I talk about how important civilian veteran champions are and how they can improve our workforce and community through their actions - by getting informed and involved. In my book, “Beyond Thank You for Your Service: the Veteran Champion handbook for civilians” (found on Amazon) you will learn... more
