EP 9. A Female Veteran's Fight to Become Visible with Katy Doggett

Somewhere between becoming a mil spouse and an unpleasant conflict in a Lowe’s parking lot,  Katy Doggett began to avoid sharing her experience as an Air Force Veteran - thanks to the doubters and push-back she often received. But since sharing her story with LadyVet she’s now the one pushing back - so that other female veterans don’t face the same biases and misconceptions.  In this episode of Stories from the Field, hear more about Katy’s journey from “invisible veteran” to an empowered leader who's now creating a new chapter of her life in Germany.
