The chapters include discussions on the challenges and benefits of military diversity, the importance of communication skills in different settings, working with children and neurodivergent individuals, and supporting mental health. The conversation also touches on the impact of military life on mental health, the role of a life coach in addiction recovery, and the financial stability of military families. Additionally, the conversation explores the higher rates of neurodivergence in military families and the availability of resources for diagnosis and treatment. In this conversation, Daphne Soto discusses her experiences as a woman in the military and as a business owner. She highlights the increase in autism diagnoses and the role of military testing facilities in this trend. Daphne also shares the challenges she faced as a woman in the military, including gender bias and disrespect. She emphasizes the slow progress in achieving gender equality and the need for women to be authentic and true to themselves. Daphne offers advice for women joining the military, encouraging them to stand up for what they believe in. She also provides words of wisdom for women starting their own businesses, emphasizing the importance of trust and community.

    Takeaways

    The increase in autism diagnoses may be influenced by the higher rate of testing in military families. Women in the military have faced challenges such as gender bias and disrespect, but progress has been made in recent years. Gender equality in the military and society as a whole is still a work in progress. It is important for women to be authentic and true to themselves, even in male-dominated environments. Women can make a difference both in the military and as business owners by standing up for what they believe in and supporting each other.

  • On todays episode of the Service to CEO Podcast, I chat with Christine Adams, an Army Signal Officer turned retiree and life coach. We chat about her love for service to the country, her calling to be a soldier, and how she earned her seat at the table amongst top leaders in the Army with poise, power, and grace. She has a remarkable and admirable approach to leadership that everyone can learn from.Website: www.christine-adams.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christine.adams.7505_____________________________________________FOLLOW ALONG THE SERVICE TO CEO PODCAST:SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HwhWlqwXMdg5U69LeZNny?si=f56b9f97b3c4455cYOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@servicetoceoINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/servicetoceopodcast/TIKTOKhttps://www.tiktok.com/@servicetoceopodcast?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcTWITTER (X)https://twitter.com/servicetoceo

  • On today's episode, Dulcie and I catch up after about 8 years since we last saw each other, and 10 years since we were training in bootcamp together. Although her time in the Navy was cut extremely short due to an injury that was never quite fixed, she has a lot of knowledge on disability claims and other benefits available to veterans.

  • In today's episode, I talk with Ashley about her career in the Army and the challenges and successes she faced as a female in a male dominant career. We discuss the process of starting a business and gaining returning clientele in an area with already well-established dog training companies. Ashley is extremely inspiring and a "shoot you straight" kind of girl!

    Hopefully this motivates and educates you on female vets and business ownership.

  • In this episode I explain the events that lead me to ultimately leaving military service. I discuss leadership challenges, work life balance, dealing with the COVID-19 Pandemic while active duty, and trying to run a business while all of this is happening.

    Hopefully it gives you some insight to me as your host before you listen to a bunch of women come on here and share their story. It was only fair that I share mine first.

    Thanks for listening/watching!

  • Welcome to the Service to CEO podcast.

    I'm your host Kristen, a 10 year Navy Veteran turned freelance photographer. In this show we talk about the journey of female vets who have embraced the next chapter in their lives, are chasing their dreams, and showing the world what they’re made of every day as successful entrepreneurs.

    Let’s raise a glass to breaking barriers and creating our own versions of a successful and fulfilling life.
