Women Serve Too
Women Serve Too is the unapologetic voice of the modern woman warrior. Hosted by veteran Brittinie Wick, this podcast is dedicated to amplifying the stories of women who serve—past, present, and future.
Each week, we dive into the real, raw, and remarkable journeys of military women and veterans navigating service, identity, motherhood, entrepreneurship, mental health, and life after the uniform.
From transition struggles to triumphs, Women Serve Too is a safe space and community for sisterhood, growth, and purpose.
Whether you're still in, recently transitioned, or long out but still carrying the weight of service—you’re not alone.
Listen in, feel seen, and remember: Women serve too—and we always have.

Bridging Worlds: Cultural Connections, and Uplifting Female Veterans Through Writing
In this episode, Erikka Durdle, an Air Force veteran, fiction writer, and educator, shares her military experience and transition to becoming an educator. She discusses her journey of pursuing a PhD and writing a novel that explores the relationship between a mother and daughter with a language and cultural barrier. Erikka also talks about how writing has helped her make sense of her military service and the healing power of sharing her words. She created Hallaren Literary Magazine to provide a space for female military voices and encourages women to submit their work and share their stories.
