Karen opens up about her story, her journey, the challenges she has faced, and the strength it takes to keep showing up even when life gets heavy.

This episode is a reminder that strong women still need support.   Mothers still need room to breathe.   And healing does not mean you never struggle — it means you keep choosing yourself one step at a time. Karen’s story is honest, meaningful, and full of heart.

Episode 014: Open Relationships in Uniform — Love, Rules, & Real Talk🎙️

In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess get into a conversation that is messy, complicated, and definitely not talked about enough: open relationships in the military. We’re talking about love, trust, boundaries, jealousy, communication, military rules, and what happens when personal relationships collide with military life. Because being in uniform does not make relationships simple.   Add deployments, distance, stress, rank, rumors, unit drama, social media, and military regulations… and suddenly love gets real complicated. 😭 This episode is not about judging anyone’s relationship. It’s about asking the real questions: Can open relationships work in the military?   What boundaries have to be clear?   What happens when people are not honest?   How do military rules, leadership, fraternization, and reputation come into play?   And why do people avoid talking about this until it becomes a drama? Diana and Jess bring the real talk, the humor, and the unfiltered veteran perspective on relationships, choices, consequences, and communication. Because love is already hard.   Love in uniform? Baby… that comes with paperwork, pressure, and witnesses. 😭 🎙️ Unfiltered & Unarmored   Real talk from two women veterans on life after service, healing, identity, relationships, and the chaos in between.

Episode 013: Nobody Talks About Military Spouses Enough 💔🎙️

Behind every service member, there is often someone holding everything together quietly. In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess talk about the emotional reality of military spouses — the loneliness, the sacrifice, the waiting, the missed holidays, the constant changes, and the strength it takes to love someone who belongs to the military too. We talk about what people don’t always see:   the spouse who keeps the home running, raises the family, supports the mission, carries the worry, and still tries to stay strong through deployments, training, PCS moves, long hours, and uncertainty. This episode is for the spouses who feel overlooked.   The ones who had to start over again and again.   The ones who smiled while missing their person.   The ones who carried the emotional weight behind the scenes. Because military service doesn’t only affect the person in uniform. It affects the family too. And military spouses deserve to be seen, heard, appreciated, and supported. 🎙️ Unfiltered & Unarmored   Real talk from two women veterans on life after service, healing, identity, relationships, and the chaos in between Follow Unfiltered & Unarmored on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook & TikTok: @UnfilteredUnarmored

Episode 012: Things Women Pretend Don’t Bother Them🎙️

In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess get real about the little things women pretend don’t hurt… but absolutely do. 😭 From being left on read, dry text messages, social media comparisons, feeling overlooked, overthinking someone’s tone, and acting like we’re “fine” when we are absolutely not fine — this episode is funny, honest, and way too relatable. We’re talking about the emotional spirals we try to hide, the things we say don’t bother us, and why so many women feel pressure to act unbothered when deep down… baby, we are bothered. 😂 Because sometimes it’s not “being dramatic.”   Sometimes it’s being tired, hurt, overwhelmed, or needing reassurance. So grab your coffee, your snacks, or your emotional support drink and join us for another real conversation about womanhood, feelings, healing, friendship, and the chaos in between. 🎙️ Unfiltered & Unarmored   Real talk from two women veterans on life after service, healing, identity, and the chaos in between.
