TW: Family member addiction/alcoholism

Guest, Stephanie, shares her story of how trauma in her personal life molded the person that she became in the Air Force. She embodied service before self until she no longer could. She didn’t allow the military to break her when all odds were stacked against her, and she was able to turn her adversity into her greatest success.
