If you haven’t already seen it, it’s time we riss up and speak out like Battle Cry: Fighting Assault In The Military. I’ve been MIA for my own sake of mental health. But this was the fire I needed. I’ve missed y’all and hope you’re still here
Hey hey hey! It’s J Marie here. It’s been a whole year since the last episode dropped in, so I wanted to just drop in so hi and that’s we’re here and ready to do the damn thing! New intro, new vibe, everything especially with gearing up to get out of the military. If you’re new here, welcome!
Hiiii I’m still here and I told y’all we’re still doing work outside of just social media. This is a HUGE opportunity for us to be the voice and I want to continue to be your voice even outside of the podcast.
Well well well… case is officially officially closed with my domestic violence and the good ol boys club wins again… so here ya go
It’s the million dollar douche question to ask, ain’t it? You’ve probably seen her TikTok or news showings, but Kacie is an AD Airman, who’s seeking justice in a corrupt criminal justice system inside the military and out. She has the courage to speak out given all the hardships, and discusses HER story and uses HER voice to make change. Lots of educational resources as well, that myself never knew about. WE’RE BACK and in this fight ladies & gents! And Kacie is here to ruffle all the the fe...
Here’s what I’ve been up too. I know it’s been awhile but bare with me. Just wanted to let y’all know I have not gone anywhere, just handling life by the balls.
We welcomed back Lani from Kruse Corner and Six from Cancelled for Maintenance to bring back our monthly Roundtable! What could this month entail? How about just being YOU. Recognizing your own self and identity outside of the uniform, the rank and being more to it because one day you will hang that uniform up. Why be such a hater? Hurt people hurt people but why are we still doing that? It’s no longer an awareness stage of anything. That mission is over. Your trauma do not make you valid anymor...
I know I know, it’s been awhile… but I had the pleasure of speaking with Army veteran James who served over the course of 10 years in active duty and reserves. He’s also an MST survivor who is finally sharing his story!
Sometimes life just happens and gets the best of us, but here we are. Life changes, green weenie strikes again and so much more. Thank you for all who have reached out and so much more. We’re not out of the fight, but things are just changing is all.
time for the random rambling talks with yours truly. Realizing self growth is needed and working towards it. Reminding you, that it work out. It will get better. There is light. I believe in you. But also welcome to my squirrel episode, and crappy sound quality 😆
Our biggest motto is we’re here to ruffle feathers and this episode might just do that. We were joined with former LtCol Stu Scheller, who asked for accountability with the tragic event in Afghanistan in August of 2020. Were not here to discuss that though. We changed the narrative and got a different perspective from him given the positions he’s held and at such a top leadership position. All the way down to his perspective on taking sexual assault out of the commands hands, mental health, equa...
Finishing the month out with our faves, on our monthly Roundtable. Joined again by Lani from Kruse Corner and Six from Cancelled For Maintenance for some much needed therapy to discuss how tired of we are of the clout chases using the same unoriginal ways to do nothing. The vet community is it’s worst enemy. We need to take a step back, look at life vs hiking to the top without stopping to see what you’re surrounded by.
Spotlight Sunday we’re going to showcase Bourbiz! A 501(c)(3) nonprofit that partners with the Veterans Success Resource Group, and brings camaraderie and resources for all across the military community. Jess from Resilient & Rowdy joined us to spotlight such an awesome thing. The episode does NO justice to what it really does, but this type of thing needs to be more known about. They’re defining the real community of what it should be amongst veterans and their families.
HERES TO 2022! Coming up on our one year, new series & many things including getting out of the military! So small chat to bring in the new year. So hope y’all enjoy going back to work after the leave block and holidays!
Welcome to the podcast! A podcast for women, by women. Here’s to a beginning of bringing awareness of an ongoing issue with women in the military. Today’s episode is introducing us, and discussing an issue of one of the hosts, and Sgt who’s being ridiculed by the military community over her TikTok of coming out about her pain.
Rolling into the holidays, joined by Zach aka Veterans With a Sign. What a good conversation, that had me in tears from laughing but SO many good points made. Ranging from generational military change, mental health, brovet culture, and just life. Enjoy the shenanigans
Finally a collab episode with Jess, from Resilient & Rowdy podcast! She’s an Army Veteran, MST Survivor, Mental Health Advocate and just as ready to make things change like we are! We discuss the Military Justice Improvement & Increasing Prevention Act. Our thoughts and long behold, the questions nobody wants to ask or talk about. Why though? Not trendy enough for y’all? Well that what we’re here for. To ruffle the feathers and open y’all’s eyes.
THERES MORE TO LIFE OUTSIDE THE UNIFORM. This months Roundtable with Lani from Kruse Corner and Six from Cancelled for Maintenance, we discuss that nobody gives af when you leave the military. Utilize the resources to build your future and be a better YOU. Your shiny medals, your stripes, none of that will mean much in the real world. Even as lifers, you’ll hang up what you do one day. It boils down to who you are as a person, and be a better person for yourself.
Santa came early so we decided to test our new toy from an oh so gracious human. WE’VE GOT US A NEW MICROPHONE. So gooood byeeeee echos and hello some good ol sound quality mixed with my Monday rant of shenanigans. Also…. Daily reminder to not judge us from our first episode and sound quality. We were new and still figuring it out
What does the title mean? It means this step in change isn’t ready to be made. It isn’t going to be all “sunshine & rainbows” because there are steps that need to be addressed. So with the Military Justice Improvement & Increasing Prevention Act, why do we think we can sprinkle big picture things in without take certain steps first? I’ve preached this 101 times that y’all aren’t asking the right questions… so if it doesn’t pass, it just means we can make improvements vs causing more harm...
I’m sad. I’m mad. I’m confused, but not surprised. My case has finally been closed and no notification of it until my VLC had to make some phone calls. So it might be triggering for people
It’s time for our monthly Roundtable with Lani from Kruse Corner & Six from Cancelled for Maintenance. What’s this months shenanigans entail? Well whole lot of randomness, singing and your friendly reminder to not set your house on fire with a frozen turkey. You’re welcome.
Sometimes life gets the best of us, and I’m here to tell you that it’s okay to take care of you. If you get burnt out, burn out. It happens, but you’ll get back on the saddle. Take care of YOU. Some welcome to my rambling
Hello peoples. Personal life took priority to wrap school up, and a bunch of other things. So here’s a 10 minute ted talk randomness
ROUND TABLEEEE TIME! With Lani from Kruse Corner and Six from Cancelled For Maintenance Podcast. This month we discuss more so on the fact that people don’t really mean what they put out. It’s a business to people, not the matter of legitimacy of helping people. Exploiting them and more. So happy monthly therapy of rants ;)
PFC LaVena Johnson was only 19 years old when she was murdered in Iraq. One of the biggest cover ups in the military, yet her family still can’t find justice after 15 years. Why is that? How was the Army able to rule this a suicide STILL? How are people not more upset and talking about this just as much as we are Vanessa Guillen? Dive into this rabbit role with Lani and I and let’s bring justice for this family.
This week we were joined by Virgina Cruse who is the author of, “The Soldier’s Guide to PTSD: How to No-Sh*t Reclaim Your Life,” a Soldier-to-Soldier guide for overcoming PTSD and Moral Injury that gives step-by-step guidance on how Service Members can take their lives back. Virginia is a Soldier-turned-therapist. She is former active duty Army (1997-2006), current Commissioned Navy Reserve Officer (2006-present), Masters-level Licensed Professional Counselor & National Certified Counselor s...
First off… kind of wonky at the end. My b but October brings Domestic Violence Awareness Month and that is exactly where we’re at with this ‘forgotten crisis,’ the awareness stage. It’s not enough. Where’s the policies? Then you want to add it into the NDAA and out of commands hands, then who takes care of it? Where’s the transitional plan? It’s time to go into full gear on this. We were joined by one of our faves, Lani Hankins and discuss her new book, The Gaslight Heart. Listen closely and you...
Need a little pep in your step? Some extra motivation? Or somebody to just remind you that it’s okay to take care of YOU? Welcome to this weeks random episodes of updates, motivation, and just rambling with yours truly
It’s that time for our Effed Up Friday Segment and monthly Roundtable with Lani from Kruse Corner Podcast, Six from Cancelled For Maintenance Podcast, with our special guest Rachelle from The Enduring Campaign. We’ve turned this into a therapy session with good friends, how to decide if someone’s true and genuine, being a woman in the military, being Beta vs Alphas and so much more. With this month being Suicide Prevention, things like this is SO important. Just being raw, about raw topics and j...
