Join us as we talk with Marine veteran Leah. Leah takes us on her journey of heartbreak, betrayal, and hopelessness during her journey of redemption. At every turn, when it looks as though no one would believe her, there's a new obstacle thrown in her way. She tries to move on with her life, and at the most unexpected moment, she receives a heartbreaking yet redeeming phone call. She knew there would still be a long road ahead, but her perseverance and faith kept her strong and willing to stay the course.

On this episode of Uncle Sam's Daughter, we have a conversation with DeCarla Gardner, a veteran who shares her intriguing story about motherhood before, during, and after her service. DeCarla grew up in a military family, giving her a unique life perspective. Though she never thought of serving in the military herself, it eventually became an option that she chose to move forward in her life. However, she had to make a sacrifice that she never intended to. But that sacrifice was something she needed to fulfill the missing piece of her life.

Carma is a dietitian of 28 years, and she transferred from the USAF to the US Public Health Service because they were downsizing my career field. While serving at Tyndall AFB, she ran the nutrition programming for the base and won the CGO of the quarter award, which got her a ride in an F-15. She is the mother of two children and started a business creating online courses that share the knowledge she has gained through her career and life. She is the owner of The Carma Connection. She has also created a free goal-setting challenge, The Distinguished Life Challenge, which is for military and veteran women.
