Episode 008: The Cost of Always Leaving 🎙️

TDYs. PCS moves. Deployments. Goodbye after goodbye. In this episode, Diana and Jess talk about the emotional weight of military life— constantly starting over, leaving people behind, rebuilding friendships, missing milestones, and learning how to survive when “home” never stays the same for long. From family separation to the exhaustion of always adapting, this is an honest conversation about what military life quietly takes from people long after the uniforms come off. Because eventually… you get tired of being the one always leaving.

Episode 007: Tiny Rules That Stayed With Us

You leave the military… but somehow the tiny rules never really leave you. In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess talk about the weird little habits, leftover conditioning, and “small” military rules that still follow us years later — and how some of them turned into survival instincts without us even realizing it. From not walking on grass and always being painfully early… to scanning rooms, hating being late, over-explaining yourself, keeping your hands visible, apologizing too much, and feeling like you’re constantly being watched — this episode dives into the quiet ways military life rewired our brains. Some of it is funny. Some of it is exhausting. And some of it is deeper trauma disguised as “discipline.” 🎙️ Raw conversations about military conditioning, hyper-awareness, anxiety, identity, healing, and learning how to exist outside survival mode. Because sometimes the smallest rules leave the biggest impact. Follow Unfiltered & Unarmored on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook & TikTok: @UnfilteredUnarmored

Episode 006: Tape Test Trauma

The military tape test wasn’t just about weight. For a lot of us, it became tied to shame, pressure, anxiety, self-worth, and the constant fear of not being “good enough.” In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess get real about PT culture, weigh-ins, crash diets, unrealistic standards, body image struggles, and the mental toll that came with trying to meet military expectations. From starvation diets and “fear cardio” to the panic that came with tape week, this conversation dives into the toxic mindset so many service members quietly carried for years — even long after leaving the military. But this episode is also about healing. Learning how to separate your worth from a number, rebuilding confidence, and breaking cycles that damaged the way we viewed ourselves. 🎙️ Raw conversations. Real struggles. Real healing. Because some military trauma doesn’t come from combat — sometimes it comes from constantly feeling like your body was never enough.

Episode 005: PTSD Ain’t Always Loud

PTSD doesn’t always look like flashbacks and chaos. Sometimes it looks like overthinking, emotional numbness, exhaustion, isolation, guilt, being constantly on edge… or pretending you’re okay when you’re barely holding it together. In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess have a real, honest conversation about the quiet side of trauma after military life—how it affects relationships, motherhood, communication, sleep, anxiety, and everyday life in ways people don’t always see. This isn’t a clinical conversation. It’s two women veterans talking openly about survival mode, healing, triggers, and learning how to exist outside of constant stress and hypervigilance. Because PTSD ain’t always loud… and neither are the battles people fight every day. 🎙️ Real talk from two women veterans on life after service, healing, identity… and the chaos in between.
