What does it mean that a girl receives her pilot wings?  It can mean a lot more than a perfect possession of the required skills to fly.  Join Carrie and Jenn, two seasoned Special Operations pilots, as they explore the lessons flying can teach beyond the flight deck. We’ll interview inspirational people, leading experts, courageous women (and men) to learn together, give advice, take advice, talk about flying, and maybe even work in some instruction on flying the 747 and/or helicopters. Join us as we #growherwings

    In our newest episode, we are interviewing Carol Carpenter of MotoVixens.

    After a hard divorce, Carol decided she wants to do something more with her life.  She wanted to challenge her comfort zone and do something most people would cringe at.  So she decided to take up racing motorcycles and shooting guns.

    Join Carrie and Jenn as they explore themes many women face everyday.  Things like single motherhood, what is “proper” for a woman and a mother, what is our identity, how family affects our decisions in life and other important conversations we should be having with our daughters.
