Hot Takes from Someone Who Just Got Out

Erykah Little & Sierra Core Season 1 Episode 4

I just got out — and I’ve got opinions.

In this episode, I’m laying down the hot takes no one warns you about when you’re transitioning out of the military. Spoiler: not everyone wants to be a contractor or drive a damn truck. From unrealistic expectations to the mental weight they don’t prep you for, I’m talking through it all — honestly, unfiltered, and probably saying the quiet parts out loud.

You’ll hear:

  • Why entrepreneurship wasn’t in the plan (but here we are)
  • How “networking” isn’t always the magic fix they make it out to be
  • And why mental health support needs to be so much deeper than breathing exercises in a 20-minute class

Whether you’re still in, freshly out, or just trying to understand what military transition actually feels like — this one’s for you.

And remember — our door is always open.
