    Ivy Insights

    The Pilot Wife Podcast is a breath of fresh air for anyone who feels the loneliness and challenges that come with having a spouse in the aviation industry. Whether it's long trips away from home or the uncertainty that comes with this career, host Jackie has created a safe space where listeners can relate to and find support from others who understand their unique circumstances. This podcast not only provides comfort but also offers valuable insights and advice on navigating the ups and downs of being in an aviation family.

    One of the best aspects of The Pilot Wife Podcast is its ability to make listeners feel seen and understood. Through heartfelt conversations with guests who share their experiences as pilot wives, Jackie creates a sense of community that is sorely needed for those who often feel isolated in their journey. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, from communication and parenting to dealing with anxiety and building strong relationships despite the challenges. It's eye-opening to hear real stories from aviation families, which can help prepare those who are new to this lifestyle or provide comfort to those already living it.

    While The Pilot Wife Podcast excels at providing relatable content and support, one potential downside is that it primarily focuses on spouses and partners of pilots. While this makes sense given the title, it may exclude other members of the aviation community such as pilot husbands or even single pilots themselves who could benefit from similar discussions. However, given the specific niche it caters to, this might not be seen as a major drawback for most listeners.

    In conclusion, The Pilot Wife Podcast serves as an invaluable resource for pilot wives seeking connection and understanding. Jackie's dedication to addressing important topics within the realm of aviation families creates a platform where listeners can find solace and solidarity. Whether you're new to this lifestyle or have been navigating it for years, this podcast will leave you feeling supported and inspired by stories of resilience, love, and personal growth within the aviation community.

    Pilots, Alcohol, Aviation and Addiction These are not 4 words that we typically want to associate together. Yet, it's a real thing, and somewhat of a hidden epidemic. Today, David and Chelsey Shaffer step forward to share their story and offer hope and help to other Pilot, Pilot Wives and anyone questioning their own use, or abuse of alcohol. The pandemic not only increased alcohol consumption by 30-40%, but excessive drinking by 21% according to a Harvard study. Watch the Video Here. Alcohol use and abuse is not exclusive to careers nor excluded by some, including commercial airline and other pilots. As I have worked with pilot wives and other clients, these stories often come out, cloaked in fear, shame, guilt and a sense that something is wrong with us. David and Chelsey share some key points: Seeking help and eliminating the fear and stigma The HIMS Program for Aviation The Importance of Knowing How to Navigate Help Strategically and Avoid PitfallsProbably 4-5 Times the Number of Pilots Actually Need Help Who Are Not in the Program Pilot Wives - We know this involves you, too, and we see it in the Pilot Wife Groups Help is Confidential so No Fear The Fear of Mental Health Disclosure on an Aviation First Class Medical The Recovery Programs WANT You to Succeed No Affect on Future Career or Getting Hired By a Legacy Carrier and Keeping Your Ability to Fly For a Career And, more. David was drinking 6 "Handles" of alcohol a week - a handle of liquor is a 1.75 L bottle of liquor. That means each one has 39 1.5-ounce shots in it. So, we are talking almost 240 shots a week. You do the math. Today, he is well, recovered and helping others! Are you fearful? Curious? Interested in simply exploring your own relationship with alcohol or a loved one?
