    In this powerful episode of Women of War, we sit down with Colonel Nicole Malachowski—the first female pilot to fly with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. From flying combat missions in the F-15E Strike Eagle to breaking sound barriers and gender ceilings, Nicole's story is one of relentless ambition and historic achievement. But what happens when a warrior's career is cut short by an invisible enemy?

Her resilience in the face of physical, emotional, and professional trials is both gut-wrenching and inspiring. This is more than a story of flight—it's a story of identity, reinvention, and the courage it takes to keep soaring after the fall.

    The Only Woman in the Room: Becca Spahr on Earning Her Seat at the Table Ep. 3
    Dec 23 2025
    What does it take to lead when you’re constantly underestimated—before you’ve even spoken a word? In this powerful episode of Women of War, we sit down with Becca Spahr, a Marine Corps officer who often found herself as the only woman in the room, the only woman in the unit, and the only woman at the table. From the start of her military journey, Becca was questioned, doubted, and challenged—not because of her competence, but because of her gender. Yet, she didn’t just hold the line—she redefined it. We explore what it’s like to navigate the burden of proving your worth daily, leading with resilience in the face of scrutiny, and standing firm when your presence alone challenges outdated norms. Becca speaks candidly about the mental and emotional weight of leading in a space where you’re constantly watched and rarely given the benefit of the doubt—and how she turned that pressure into purpose. This is a conversation about more than gender and leadership. It’s about strength, voice, and the unshakable belief that you belong, even when others aren’t ready to see it. 🎧 Subscribe to Women of War Authentic stories. Fierce truth-telling.
