Challenges We've Faced in a Male-Dominated Career & How We Grew From Them ft. Jackie Barnum Fox (FBF)

In this episode, Kellie talks about what it’s really like to work in a male-dominated field—and the constant battle against stereotypes about how women “should” act, look, or lead. Originally from her previous show, "MissUnderstood," this conversation dives deep into the challenges women face while carving out space for themselves in environments where they’re often the minority.Kellie is joined by her Naval Academy roommate of four years and best friend of ten years, (then) Captain Jackie Barnum Fox, a 2014 U.S. Naval Academy graduate and Marine Corps Logistics Officer. Together, they share honest stories about navigating expectations, finding confidence, and claiming your voice in rooms that weren’t always built for you.Captain Barnum, who has served tours in Okinawa, Japan and California—with deployments to the Philippines, Republic of Korea, and the United Arab Emirates—opens up about leadership, resilience, and the power of authenticity. She’s also a proud dog mom to Ruby, loves coffee and "Friends " quotes, and continues to inspire others through her service and example.This episode is for every woman learning to own her space, speak her truth, and redefine what leadership looks like.Note: originally aired May 20, 2020.Connect with Jackie: https://www.instagram.com/jackiee.barnum/Find a mentor here: https://www.mentorsinservice.org/Donate to Mentors in Service: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLT39ET7WFA3K/checkout/TN5CNIHNB2T2YF6EWGVKC443Enjoyed this episode?
