    Ep 101 - You're More Than Your Uniform

    When the uniform comes off, it can feel like something essential disappears with it. In this episode, we unpack why losing the uniform feels so personal, why that discomfort isn’t insecurity or failure, and how military identity is validated in ways civilian life simply doesn’t replicate. This conversation reframes impostor syndrome, self-doubt, and invisibility as structural—not personal—and offers a grounded way to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. Because the truth is simple: the uniform was never the source of your identity. It was only a container.
