🚨 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE PEOPLE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY AND SAVING LIVES BECOME THE ONES TREATED LIKE OUTSIDERS? 🚨On this episode of the SpeakInCOAD Podcast, COAD sits down with Frontline Nurse Nicole and the wonderful Ms. Deplorable Janet for an unfiltered conversation about their personal experiences during the COVID era.From the hospital frontlines to the United States Coast Guard, we discuss vaccine mandates, workplace discrimination, changing policies, isolation, informed consent, and the struggles of standing by our personal decisions.Three different perspectives. Similar struggles. One conversation that needed to happen!⚓ COAD — THE COAST GUARD & MOVING GOALPOSTSCOAD opens up about serving in the Coast Guard during COVID and how those who refused vaccination were treated differently, shamed, and separated from fellow service members.He discusses broken promises, constantly changing policies, and how even those who complied with vaccination requirements faced new restrictions, including limitations on traveling more than 50 miles to visit family.When the goalposts kept moving, where was the finish line?🏥 FRONTLINE NURSE NICOLE — BEHIND THE HOSPITAL DOORSNurse Nicole shares her firsthand experiences working in healthcare during the pandemic, including how she felt mistreated by doctors and fellow medical professionals.She discusses the importance of informed consent, patient education, and why she believes everyone deserves accurate information about potential risks, benefits, and alternatives before making medical decisions.Shouldn't patients have the right to ask questions and make informed choices about their own healthcare?🎙️ MS. DEPLORABLE JANET — WALKING AWAY & SPEAKING OUTJanet shares why she stepped away from healthcare and teaching after becoming concerned about how patients, customers, and individuals were being treated and informed.We also travel back to 2020 and the wild days of DISCORD!COAD reminisces about meeting Janet through her massive Discord community, where people gathered to share opinions, laugh, make friends, and escape the chaos.But those servers kept getting NUKED! 🚫Despite repeated shutdowns, the community continued finding ways to reconnect and make their voices heard.❤️ FINDING OUR PEOPLE THROUGH THE CHAOSThis episode isn't just about mandates, restrictions, and disagreements.It's about mental health, friendship, resilience, and overcoming adversity.During a time when many felt isolated from family, friends, coworkers, and society, we discovered new friendships through Discord, podcasts, and online communities.What started as strangers talking online became genuine friendships and support systems that helped us through some of the hardest moments of our lives.Sometimes the people you meet during the darkest times become the ones who help you find the light!🔥 THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT MORE THAN COVID.It's about questioning decisions, sharing personal experiences, standing by your convictions, respecting individual choices, and finding community when you need it most.Whether you agree, disagree, or simply want to hear different perspectives, we invite you to join the conversation!🎧 WELCOME TO THE SPEAKINCOAD PODCAST!🔗 FOLLOW SPEAKINCOAD:
