“I Didn’t Have A Lot Of Opportunities Where I Could Say I Use My Experience From The Military In Civilian Life” Children's Book Author Olympia's Stor

The Female Veterans Podcast

On this episode, I chat with Olympia an Army veterans doing charity work in Arkansas. We talk about her feelings of frustration regarding being unable to use the skills she learned in the military after transitioning to civilian life. She shares a favorite story from boot camp and we reminisce about A school in the Navy and AIT for the Army. We discuss her decision to start a new career as a teacher and what inspired her to write a children’s book, "Kendahl’s Plans." We chat about the importance of journaling and she gives some wonderful advice! I learn all about her business OJA, and the work Olympia does with the Arkansas Food Bank doing a food drives.
