Joanna is a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Having to overcome her own transition obstacles; Joanna made the commitment to help other Veterans transition more successfully. She’s currently 

Joanna’s interview broke me and gave me hope at the same time. I don’t have personal experience in with the military, but Joanna gave me a peek into her world by sharing her personal story of oppression and triumph. Today, she’s the Chief Operating Officer at The Veterans Directory, helping other veterans, especially women share their experiences, find community, and live among those they fought to serve for so long. This episode is worth your time and attention. I hope you enjoy meeting Joanna as much as I did.
