More Than a Milspouse | mindset, clarity, work-life balance, create a purpose-fueled life as a military spouse, Milspouse Mastermind

Most of us know what it’s like to want to change something about our lives, and yet we fail to do it. Or we start…but then fall off the wagon. We go to the gym…for a few weeks. We eat better…until we go on vacation. We vow to drink more water. We vow to stop wasting so much time on social media. And then we think…I’ll do it tomorrow, next week, next month. We rely on willpower and motivation to ma...

It’s much easier to feel confident when you have a record of success. When you KNOW that you can get results, and others surround you with affirmation, you walk more confidently, you talk confidently, and it’s easy to believe in yourself.   But what about when you don’t have a proven record of success? What about when you’ve applied for job after job, but no one is calling you for an interview? Wh...

You know it’s possible to pursue your dreams as a military spouse. But what does that look like practically? What does that look like as a mom of littles? Or as a CEO?

No one wants to think about war and global conflict and what that means for military spouses and their families.

How does it feel to be a military spouse? Often what we expected…and what life actually looks like are not the same. But regardless of whether “you knew what you signed up for” this episode is meant to encourage you on what can sometimes be a discouraging journey. Plus, you’ll get to hear a never-before-shared excerpt from my Grandma’s memoir about life as a military spouse in the 1940s.  You, my...

Want to know what it is? T...

There are many different ways to serve. For some of us, it's signing up for active duty. For others of us, it's being married to someone who is serving. And for others, like today's guest, it's serving those who serve and their families.   All of it is service. Today's conversation is about entrepreneurship, it's about finding your path to purpose, it's about navigating change, and it's about how...

"Dear Christine, I don't feel like I'm in control of how I'm responding to my situation." I often say that we can't control our circumstances, but we can control how we respond to what happens. But sometimes when something triggers us, we feel unable to choose how we respond. So what can we do when we feel powerless to control what we're thinking and feeling, or how we're responding? Let's talk ab...

I’ve been a military spouse for almost 15 years. And in that time, I’ve seen a lot of evolution in what it means to be a military spouse, what opportunities are available for military spouses, and how military spouses are viewed. In some ways, the change has been really good. And in some ways, the change is not all for the better. But my experience as a military spouse is just a drop in the bucket...
