In this short, we sit down with Alicia Shields, a powerhouse advocate, nurse, and Mrs. Arizona USA 2025, whose mission is to uplift and empower veterans through mental health support, physical resilience, and community service.
From her work with Veterans Without Orders—bringing clean water and trauma-informed care to underserved areas—to co-leading the Box Out Project, a nonprofit that uses boxing to help veterans, women, and at-risk youth reclaim their strength, Alicia is redefining what post-service support looks like.
We dive into:
The challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life
The role of fitness and boxing in healing trauma
Her journey from nurse to global humanitarian
The importance of breaking the stigma around veteran mental health
How purpose and service can transform lives
Alicia’s story is one of grit, compassion, and relentless dedication to those who’ve served. If you care about veterans, mental health, or making a real impact—this episode is for you.
