Open Door Policy

The In-Between: Life After the Uniform (Sort Of)

Erykah Little Season 1 Episode 3

After a long break, I’m back behind the mic — solo this time — sharing a piece of my own transition story and why I made the decision to walk away from the military after 10 years. This episode isn’t about bashing the system or glamorizing the struggle. It’s about what happens when the uniform no longer fits the life you’re trying to build.

I talk about what support did and didn’t look like, how choosing growth over comfort changed my life, and why creating Open Door Policy still matters. Plus, I share a few thoughts on my upcoming book and the work I’m doing through Troop Transitions, my business built for military members navigating major life changes.
