Can you imagine the strength it takes to transition from a military career to civilian life? This week we're privileged to share a deeply personal conversation with Lara Beltz, a Navy veteran who courageously shares her journey through transformative military experiences, shedding light on the internal struggles many veterans face post-service. Lara's incredible journey begins in Sicily, where she worked in the ER and ran EMS in a military setting and faced life-altering events that took years to process.
Together, we navigate the tumultuous path to recovery, highlighting how integral veteran's programs have been in Lara's life. As co-owner of a service organization that employs veterans, Lara reveals the unique skills and values that her military career has instilled in her. The American Warriors Association, a retreat for veterans and first responders, played a significant role in Lara's life, providing a supportive community that understood her experiences and fostered personal growth.
Finally, we cast a spotlight on Lara's inspiring journey as a female leader in the male-dominated military and trades sector. Lara talks about the importance of women taking up space, the need for female representation, and the power of advocating for women in trades. She shares honest reflections on self-worth, shared connection, and personal work ethic, painting a vivid picture of the realities of military life, the transition to civilian life, and the unique challenges faced by women in the military.
