Here at the Forgotten Warrior Podcast, we will share experiences and feelings, mainly our struggles, why we felt we were forgotten, and how we pushed forward. Everyone struggles and may feel forgotten at some point. We're here to remind you that you're not alone, and more importantly, you're not forgotten.
We have decided not to edit our content. We want to be as honest, raw, and authentic as possible. We want to be relatable to all of our listeners, and right now, we feel just being ourselves during recording is the best way to do so.
