Chief Warrant Officer Necole Belanger created a professional persona that was no-nonsense and highly put-together - even perfect. But the truth was much more complex.

The higher she rose in rank within the Canadian Armed Forces, the less her voice was heard. When she should have had the most influence on the organization, she had none.

The result?

Depression and drinking and a downward spiral, all hidden behind a mask. And then the courage to be honest, with others and herself, and put the pieces of her life back together again.
