Women With an Effed Up Mind

We recognize sexual assault isn’t just a woman’s issue. It’s a male issue. More like a human issue. So we brought on Army National Guard Veteran, Paul Lloyd, who’s a MST Survivor, Sexual Assault Advocate, founder of Phoenix Project and website owner of Hope After MST. He’s speaking up with his story of being raped during basic, and trying to help others speak up about the effed up system. He’s doi...

Bringing back my girl, Lani Hankins, for this weeks Effed Up Friday Segment! Just rambling on and talking domestic violence, and how FAP is a joke! Random episode, with knowledge, stories and whatever. But we’re going to keep screaming about DV, till more bring light to it and make change.

This episode we had Jai Wu, USMC Vet, MST survivor, and co-owner of Office Wook Clothing. She talks about her story and helping educate. Her story isn’t our usual. She didn’t report hers. She swallowed it like a pill, and it still haunts her, over 10 years later.

*Bonus Episode* full of education when it comes to Domestic Violence. We talked about the Military Family Violence Prevention Act, Subcommittee conducted on May 25th, 2021, resources and just the run down of educating you.

CALLING ALL MOVEMENT LOVERS! Welcome to my random af Effed Up Friday segment this week and telling you to just be a good human. Check on your fellow people’s. BE A PART OF ACTUALLY STOPPING THE 22. And we kind of promote a new nonprofit we we’re introduced too, called Operation Foxhole that help military spouses in domestic violence situations. More details coming soon on social media! For now Enj...

Lani, from Kruse Corner podcast, joined me once again to kick off PTSD Awareness Month. The biggest take away from it is, what’re you doing to stop the 22? It’s no longer an awareness thing, it’s about doing the d*mn thing. Even if it’s as simple as texting a buddy. It’s not a competition or pissing contest on who’s problems are worse. PTSD comes in all forms, for many reasons, and handled differe...

Kind of a random, short, but motivational episode this week. Sorry for the background noise too. Oops. I know, weird. Recapping D.C. with WorthTen20, and just the importance of your voice! Adapt, overcome, that’s what we service members do, right? We stand up, stand tall, and shout from the top of the Empire State Building! Call our your congresswomen, or congressmen. Do what you gotta do, but kno...

*WARNING* this episode is a little more vulgar than most, but you can hear the frustration with my case. If you’ve been following along, here’s for spicyness for you. If you haven’t, please refer too, “Screams from Silence,” then “You Should Be P’d Off Too.” You as my listeners are my outlet. So yes it’s a rant episode. So thank you for listening.

We share the stories, talk about how effed up things are, but are you educated? Do you know your resources? Do you know the process? Majority don’t, so today Val and I talk about what lies ahead and what you can do when it comes to being sexually assaulted. Even if you’re not victim, and especially if you’re in leadership, YOU SHOULD ESPECIALLY BE EDUCATED. Be able to help your fellow service memb...

CPL THAE OHU IS FINALLY RELEASED! Yes, I said it... our sister is FINALLY FREE, but this isn’t the end. This is a start of a new beginning and another long road ahead. On this weeks ‘Effed Up Friday’ Segment, we discuss her freedom, her story, to show you guys, we’re still in this to fight for her, because Thae and her family deserve that. I also had podcast hosts, Lindsey Rowland from Carry On Po...

Heath Phillips... a Navy veteran, MST survivor, and now advocate, who’s really doing the damn thing! Our first male survivor on the show and I’m truly humbled to have had such an amazing man on this episode. Especially as our first one. We drive into his struggles with alcohol, drugs and attempted to suicide. Where he found light at the end of the tunnel and found a sense of purpose after such a t...

Is it not trendy enough? Is it, because it’s a “spousal issue?” Is it that you don’t care? Or maybe, because “it’s a joke,” you “don’t feel like dealing with.” What about the reform taken out of Commands hands for domestic violence too? Why is that left out? WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS TOO?! But wait... doesn’t it go hand and hand? In no shape or form am I knocking the severity of anything el...

We know the name of Jane Doe, but what about Lady Jane? Lady Jane Unknown shares her story as a Combat Veteran, and MST Survivior during her time in the Navy, and experience in Afghanistan. Not just one experience, but TWO during her time... and was faced with the reality that it would’ve turned on her, because of a single drink... we share this story, to put a picture in your head... because the...

Our quest this week is Stephanie Schroeder, who’s been our BIGGEST supporter since we started. She’s USMC Veteran, a Sexual Assault Survivor, and the founder of Eyes Right Foundation. We brought her on this week, because she shares the same energy we have, by doing the damn thing. She’s not just talking about it, but she’s being about. We’re about sharing the message and bringing light to those wh...

It's time to ruffle feathers, and make things uncomfortable. That's how the message is heard. Not by numbers we all see, it's about the stories and truth, behind the pain, that you see or hear. Shit gets real on this episode. We also have new announcements. We're officially partnering with WORTH TEN20. That'll include monthly episodes, giveaways and events, each month, because this isn't just a Ap...

Time I just get completely deep and raw with yall. I’m alone on this episode, but I’m speaking to y’all as my listeners. I had to rerecord this multiple times, because I couldn’t keep it together. I’ve been dealing with shit, and it’s added fuel to the fire. I’m not just talking about things changing, I’m gonna be about it. One way or another, things needs to change.

*BONUS EPISODE* Welcoming our first male guest, Six, who’s a Marine Corps veteran and a co-host of Cancelled for Maintenance, who’s definitely outside of our motive box. THATS WHAT WE WANT THOUGH. They’re supporting the cause even though they speak on subjects differently. They’re outside our bubble, BUT HEARING THE MESSAGE WE’RE SCREAMING. No more “wow that’s crazy” because we’re all talking abou...

This episode is slightly long, but lots of good content. We have Lani Hankins, who is a MST survivor, fellow service sister- Army Veteran, and author “Bottled Away.” Which I highly recommend buying (link is on our linktree website.) We break down some of the book, and just ramble on about the struggles of being a women in the service. Plus when you sign the contact... you sign away being a human....

Today’s episode we talked about a movement with the same motivate as us, called WORTH TEN20. They started a calendar of events to bring awareness with #SAAPM, so we talk about the various things they’ve brought up. Then we have a very special guest, who’s near and dear to our heart, Rachelle LaFleur. Who is the founder of The Enduring Campaign 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that we’re a HUGE su...

Today’s episode, we discuss the lack of “giving a shit” of our fellow brothers and sisters. The lack of trust in our leadership and carrying about the well being of junior service members. That trauma does have a cost and an aftermath effort on each and everybody, female AND male. It is not gender friendly when it comes to depression, insomnia, etc. BUT we’re here for you, and you’re not alone in...

Tonight’s episode, we have our first official guest, Taylor Knueven, 8 year Army Combat Medic, who’s a victim turned advocate, that is on a move to fixing a messed up system when it comes to sexual assault. She’s also a semi finalist for Ms Veteran America 2021. We talked about her story, PTSD, and so much more. Link to donate to her cause is in our Bio on social media! Enjoy!

Today’s episode we discuss Fox News Host, Tucker Carlson, someone who’s never served, who spoke on women serving & says we’re a mockery of the US Military. Also, we discuss how service members mental health isn’t important in the military, as it should be... if it was taken as serious as it should be, people like PFC Asia Graham, would still be alive. We want to bring awareness of the lack of help...

Happy International Womens Day! This episode, we discuss PFC Asia Graham and her death, along with Specialist Vanessa Guillen. These ladies have complete injustice to their cases, so we’re here to bring more awareness, because they’re more than a #justice hashtag. Their lives may have been lost too soon, but we’re here to be their voice!

Happy Women’s History Month! Today’s episode we talk about Cpl Thae Ohu, and the injustice she’s dealing with. SHE NEEDS JUSTICE! We also rant on how the lack of mental health recognition and help that should be given to service members, but it’s really a joke. We also touch some spiciness and how women keep getting set back in the service & the respect. ITS GIVEAWAY TIME TOO!!!!

Let me show you a little piece in the past. That we can sympathize with you. We want you to reach out & we provided resources too!
