Naomi Reynolds is a U.S. Army veteran, author, and advocate dedicated to empowering women veterans through resilience, healing, and purpose-driven leadership. A Vietnam-era service member, Naomi has spent years fighting for justice for women who were forced out of the military due to pregnancy or military sexual trauma, and she continues to be a powerful voice for veteran mental health and compensation reform.

In this episode, Naomi sits down with Christina to discuss her military service, surviving sexual assault while in the Army, being forced out due to pregnancy, and the long-term mental health impact that followed. Naomi shares her current fight against VA compensation cuts, the broader legislative battle to restore justice for women veterans, and the urgent need for reform in how veterans – especially women – are treated. She also provides resources for women veterans seeking help, explains how to begin the VA claims process, and speaks candidly about mental health, homelessness, and why continuing to speak out is what keeps her going.
