Jackie interviews singer/songwriter Brandi MacLaren on her story and experience of tragedy and abuse as a confident and successful woman.
Cool Quote from the Episode:
“I think it's so important for women to support women. I think that's just so important because we need to stand together and say, it's not going to fly. It's not gonna go under the radar anymore. We're going to stand behind each other and be a voice for the other person. And you are heard and you are seen, and you're not doing this alone.” - Brandi MacLaren

Studies
- Comparison numbers - Afghanistan/Iraq war casualties vs. US women killed by a male partner or ex-partner over the same 20 year period: an American woman is almost 9 times more likely to die at the hands of a male partner or ex-partner at home than in the war, not even factoring gender differences of US servicepeople
American service members killed in Afghanistan through April, 2021: 2,448
In the US, nearly 3 women are murdered by male partner or ex-partner every day = roughly 21,900 women murdered in the US over the course of the Afghanistan/Iraq war
