S2 Ep5 - “Advocating For Women Veterans”

We should want to live a life of winning. However, not all our circumstances lead us in the winning direction. At least, this is how it may appear. I as an Army Veteran did not always have the winning mentality. When I joined the military at the tender young age of 19, I had no idea that would put me on a trajectory to win. There are so many reasons we join the military and especially women its certainly was not the first choice for me in my household. I have been on a few Veteran panels, mostly consisting of men and our reasonings were very different for joining to serve. However, the outcome was the same for us. We came out on top. With this intestinal fortitude that drives us to win. Unfortunately, that is not the case for many. Some are confused and take routes to try and soothe the confusion, which can lead to more detrimental life changes. This is why it is so important for those of us who have been called to help our comrades fight the sometimes-invisible battle that we do our part to help pull each other up. While serving in the military we learned many ways to carry our comrades physically. Now it is time for us to help carry each mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to the winner’s circle. This is exactly what our guest is doing in her organization.
