Shield of Sisters - helping women who experience MST

2022 was a crazy year for me. My family moved from the East Coast to West Coast. And while being closer to family has been nice. It was a real challenge to keep the podcast coming out with new episodes each week. I am grateful for all the women who have been guests this year. And I am excited I was able to create a summer series focused on girl's considering military service. You can check out the whole series here.I am also thankful to my amazing sponsors through out this year. Women Veteran's Alliance was the title sponsor for A Girl's Guide to Military Service Series. And JVollbrecht Consulting and Garret Sorrenson with Marcum Wealth were gold sponsors. Photography by Trish was a Silver sponsor. And Nomades Collection and Served Like HER were bronze sponsors. Their support made the series possible.Also, Sabio School of Software and Engineering sponsored a number of episodes this season. Along with sponsoring the panel episodes I created. Episode 173: Why Women Veteran Stories Are Important and Episode 178: Women Veterans on Capitol Hill. Girl Scouts Overseas and Shi Evans author of What Happens at Grammy's Stays at Grammys supported the podcast in 2022. And last week you learned about VA Women's Health Reengagement Training (HeaRT) from HeaRT trainer Aryanna Wagner.I have already started recording episodes for next year and I am so excited for the stories we will share and the topics we will cover. Thanks to everyone who has listened and shared the podcast this year. And a special thanks to everyone who ordered A Girl's Guide to Military Service. The feedback from those who have read the book has been amazing. And I really hope this resource will help women who are considering military service.Advice time stamp and guest:3:22 - Nichole Naprstek - Episode 189 5:20 - Tahina Montoya - Episode 1906:27 - Jill Chambers - Episode 1917:51 - Jennifer Givens - Episode 1929:01 - Tess Robinson - Girl's Guide to the Military Series: Disqualifications9:41 - Ashley Gorbulja - Girl's Guide to the Military Series: Education Benefits10:06 - Ashleigh Magee - Girl's Guide to the Military Series: Fitness10:49 - Garrett Sorenson - Girl's Guide to the Military Series: Finance13:13 - Nancy Stroer - Episode 20915:05 - Virginia Lee Johnson - Episode 20315:42 - Christina Mattison - Episode 20417:36 - Virginia Cruse - Episode 20519:16 - Courtney Dock - Episode 20720:56 - Tina Green - Episode 20822:34 -Jennifer Williams - Episode 20823:34 - Rachel Oswalt - Episode 20824:32 - Tiffany Walker - Episode 20825:54 - Kayla Lyon - Episode 21027:13 - Theresa Kulikowski-Gillespie - Episode 21129:26 - Esther Massimini - Episode 212

Getting help with PTSD

Thank you to our sponsor:What Happens at Grammy’s Stays at Grammy’s by Shi Evans is a funny yet real take on military deployments through the eyes of 8-year-old Savannah. When Savannah’s parents get deployed to Afghanistan for a year, she must decide whether to accept the love and support from her Grammy who seems to get them into one shenanigan after another. She learns it’s okay to trust others and it’s okay to laugh at yourself especially while getting chased by a dog in a wheelchair.
