Episode Highlights:

●      Military training prepares individuals for high-stress situations through repetitive exercises and creating a cohesive team, but transitioning to civilian life after retirement can be challenging.

●      Fundraising opportunities are available for organizations that support women and aim to change the gender narrative, and the speaker shares an anecdote story about women's empowerment

●      The pressure to perform comes from social conditioning, and the next generation feels that pressure from Gen X women, but young people should be authentic and pursue what sets their souls on fire

●      Social media can be dangerous as young people compare their achievements to others' highlight reels, and women may be discouraged from applying to schools even if they are qualified.
