SUMMARY: *trigger warning*

In this raw episode that is part 2 with U.S. Air Force Veteran Angela Pope, she shares why she used to feel like her voice didn’t “deserve” to be heard, that her occurrences weren’t “as bad as” others’. Listen as Pope talks about the extremely positive outcomes of the Shield of Sisters Restoration Retreat she attended in October 2024, and her realization that her story is valid and her voice matters . . . and how she found that voice.

Join Shield of Sisters founder Shannon Hough and her guest, U.S. Air Force veteran Angela, for episode 10 of Invisible No More. Angela was one of the first 15 in the Air Force to be selected for a specific MOS (military occupational specialty). She discusses the many “close call” experiences she had – during tech school that then bled over into her first duty station – at the hands of one specific higher-ranking fellow Airman. Listen as Angela describes her journey from putting on a brave face daily to where she is now, over 25 years later.

In this powerful episode of Invisible No More, we sit down with Bethany, a compassionate therapist who bravely navigated her own journey of healing from military sexual trauma. Through deep introspection and personal growth, Bethany not only found the strength to heal but now dedicates her life to guiding others on their own paths to recovery. Join us as she shares her inspiring story, the tools she’s learned along the way, and the importance of compassion, understanding, and support for those affected by military sexual trauma. This conversation is a testament to resilience and the healing power of connection.
