Descripción

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 011: Women Supporting Women Instead of Secretly Competing 🎙️

In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana & Jess get real about something a lot of women feel… but don’t always talk about. Comparison. Competition. Jealousy. Support. Sisterhood. Why do women sometimes feel pressured to compete with each other instead of uplifting one another? And what happens when women choose kindness, support, healing, and genuine connection instead? We talk about: ✨ Supporting women without feeling threatened ✨ Healing insecurity and comparison ✨ Why another woman’s success is NOT your failure ✨ The importance of female friendships ✨ Real women, real struggles, and real support This episode is funny, honest, emotional, and empowering — exactly how we like it. ❤️ 🎧 Different stories. Same sisterhood. #UnfilteredAndUnarmored #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenVeterans #Podcast #Healing #Friendship #RealTalk Follow Unfiltered & Unarmored on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook & TikTok: @UnfilteredUnarmored

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
