Mommy On the Move

Welcome back to the Mommy on the Move podcast, where I take you through an exciting yet challenging roller coaster ride of being a wife of a basketball coach and a mother of three wonderful boys. Relocating has become a significant part of our family's life since my husband began coaching basketball. I'll take you through our journey from the quaint streets of Belgium, Germany, Hungary, and Finland to our eventual settlement in Maryland. And then, yet another exciting transition when we moved to Milwaukee. I'll also bring to light, the evolving dynamics in work and relationships, and how the modern woman is more independent and empowered to make choices for her family. We'll talk about how crucial open communication and authenticity are in dealing with the complexities of maintaining relationships when your partner is often away. We'll wrap up this episode with an honest conversation about the emotional strain our last move to Milwaukee caused on our relationships and our kids. So buckle up for an engaging ride through the many facets of our life!
