Retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant | Founder of Reset & Rise

What happens when you take off the uniform, but the armor you've spent years building is still there?

For so many women veterans, the military teaches us to be strong, push through, lead others, and keep going no matter what. But what happens when the mission changes and it's finally time to take care of ourselves?

In this powerful episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess sit down with Amber Houghton, a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant and founder of Reset & Rise, for an honest conversation about life after military service, identity, leadership, healing, and rediscovering your purpose.

Together, we explore the invisible armor we carry, the challenges of transitioning into new chapters, and what it really means to find strength beyond the uniform.

Because sometimes the hardest part isn't being strong… it's learning that you don't have to be strong every single minute.

Whether you're a veteran, a military spouse, or a woman navigating a new chapter in life, this conversation is for you.

🩷 Your service is part of your story, but it doesn't have to define your entire future.

🎧 Grab your coffee, get comfortable, and join us for another real conversation filled with strength, sisterhood, and hope.

Real Women. Real Stories. No Armor Required.

Self-care isn't always bubble baths, spa days, or spending money. Sometimes it's setting boundaries, saying NO without feeling guilty, taking a break, or simply putting yourself first for once.

In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess get real about the self-care practices that have made the biggest difference in their lives.

We're talking about protecting our peace, managing stress and anxiety, learning to slow down, and finding little ways to take care of ourselves without feeling selfish.

Because let's be real, ladies… we're so damn good at taking care of everybody else that sometimes we forget about ourselves.

No perfect routines. No judgment. Just two women sharing what works for them, what they've learned, and why self-care isn't selfish—it's necessary.

🩷 You deserve the same love, patience, and care you give everyone else.

Healing doesn’t always have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s the little things we do at home that help us get through a hard day.

In this episode, Diana and Jess talk about simple things that can help when PTSD, anxiety, stress, or feeling overwhelmed shows up—from sitting outside with a cup of coffee, listening to music, taking a shower, cleaning one small space, spending time with your pets, or simply giving yourself permission to rest.

We’re sharing the things that help us—not because we have all the answers, but because sometimes getting through the day starts with one small thing that makes you feel a little more grounded.

🎙️ Grab your coffee, get comfortable, and join us for a real conversation about finding comfort, peace, and healing right at home.

The Strength to Speak

In this episode of Unfiltered & Unarmored, Diana and Jess sit down with Jenny for a powerful and honest conversation about service, strength, leadership, healing, and finding the courage to speak your truth.

Jenny shares her story, her military journey, the challenges she faced, and the moments that shaped the woman she is today. We talk about what it means to keep going when life gets heavy, how trauma and resilience can live in the same story, and why using your voice can be one of the bravest things you ever do.

This episode is for every woman veteran who has ever felt silenced, overlooked, misunderstood, or afraid to speak up.

Your story matters.

Your voice matters.

And healing begins when we stop carrying everything alone.

The Invisible Load, Burnout & Learning to Receive Support

Who takes care of the woman everyone depends on?

In Episode 25, Diana and Jess talk about the invisible load so many women carry—being the strong one, taking care of everyone else, keeping everything together, and quietly running on empty.

We get real about burnout, guilt, asking for help, setting boundaries, and why receiving support can sometimes be harder than giving it.

Because being strong doesn’t mean doing everything alone.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can say is: “I need help too.”

Intimacy, Trust & Relationships After Trauma

What happens when you want love, but survival mode keeps telling you to protect yourself?

In Episode 21, Diana and Jess get real about relationships after trauma—the walls we build, the fear of trusting again, intimacy, communication, pushing people away, and why feeling safe with someone can sometimes feel uncomfortable.

We talk about the difference between protecting yourself and self-sabotaging, learning to communicate instead of shutting down, and allowing yourself to receive the love you deserve.

Because survival may have taught us to build walls… but healing can teach us where to put the doors.

🎙️ Unfiltered & Unarmored

Real conversations. Real healing. No judgment.

Have you ever been invited to a "business opportunity" that sounded too good to be true?

You're not alone.

In this episode, Diana and Jess sit down with Belkis to have an honest conversation about multi-level marketing (MLMs), why so many women—especially veterans, military spouses, and women looking for community or extra income—get pulled in, and how to recognize the difference between genuine support and sales pressure.

This isn't about shaming anyone. Many of us have been there or know someone who has.

Together, we talk about:

✨ Why MLMs can be so appealing.

✨ The promise of financial freedom.

✨ The pressure to recruit friends and family.

✨ The emotional and financial impact.

✨ How to protect yourself and make informed decisions.

If you've ever felt guilty saying "no," wondered if an opportunity was really worth it, or simply want to learn more, this conversation is for you.

As always, we're not financial experts—we're just sharing real experiences, asking honest questions, and creating a space where women can learn without judgment.

💜 Because being informed is empowering.
