What does success after military service look like for women veterans in Georgia?

In this episode of Success After Service on the Warrior Alliance Network, hosts Scott and Tug speak with Dr. Sharmon Monaghan—a U.S. Navy and Georgia Army National Guard veteran, educator, author, cancer survivor, and chair of the Georgia Women Veterans Advisory Board.

Dr. Monaghan shares how military service shaped her leadership, resilience, structure, and commitment to helping others. She also discusses why many women who served do not initially identify as veterans, the unique ways housing instability and healthcare challenges can affect women veterans, and why early connection to VA benefits and community resources matters.

The conversation explores the growing need for women-veteran support across Georgia—from Metro Atlanta to rural communities—and how collaboration, listening sessions, and the Warrior Alliance Women Veterans Think Tank can help transform veteran concerns into real solutions.

If you are a woman who served, a veteran family member, an employer, a service provider, or someone committed to supporting Georgia’s military community, this episode offers practical insight and a meaningful call to action.
