Women in the military face challenges and sacrifices that rarely make headlines. In this episode, we break down the unspoken taxes—mental, physical, and professional—that female service members quietly carry.

Women in the military serve with excellence—but often at a cost that goes unspoken.

In this SCIIF International Podcast episode, we dive into the hidden “taxes” women pay while serving: career trade-offs, leadership pressures, family strain, and the constant expectation to prove legitimacy in uniform.

This is not a complaint piece. This is a conversation about reality, resilience, and recognition.

🎙️ Topics Covered:
• The invisible pressures placed on women in uniform
• Why “equal standards” don’t always mean equal experience
• Leadership expectations vs lived reality
• Mental load, career sacrifices, and long-term impact
• What leaders MUST understand moving forward

Whether you’re an Airman, Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Guardian, leader, or supporter—this episode matters.
