The Military Wife Podcast

On the podcast this week I'm talking about that whole period of fighting and disconnection that seems to often happen right before your husband is set to deploy or leave for training.  I talk about some questions you might be wondering for your own situation and then I go over my personal experience, in order to help you make all of it a little bit easier on yourself, as a military wife who often has to say goodbye to her husband.

This week, I'm introducing a new idea for your self care routine.  Listen in to hear my argument for why this surprising idea is a great way to take amazing care of yourself, no matter what the people around are doing or saying.  Especially helpful for us military wives who are often far from family and friends that we grew up with, or are parenting on our own, with our military husband gone for training or deployment.

Join me as I walk you through the 3 step formula of what to do to learn to love the military life you are living right now.  You don't need to wait for retirement or when he gets out to fall in love with your life.  That can happen anytime you're ready.  I'm showing you how today.

Join me as I go over the 2 important things to do to make sure your relationship doesn't suffer when your husband is either gone tdy, deployed or just working long hours.  These two things sound stupid simple, but can be life changing in helping you create a life and a marriage that you're excited to have.

This week I'm going to teach you about being kind to yourself.  I don't need to tell you that life can feel difficult as a military wife.  It feels harder when you're not being kind to yourself.  And what I've noticed is that the tendency isn't towards love and generosity towards ourself.  I talk all about why this is a great thing to do and I tell you about how to do it.  Join me this week to learn how to make your life easier by choosing kindness for you.

Join me this week as I teach you how to stop yelling at your kids.  If you're anything like me, I have some experience with responding to my children in ways that I don't love.  I recently taught a workshop on how to stop yelling at your kids, especially if you feel like a single parent much of the time.  I've had requests to reteach the workshop, so I thought I'd put it here in the podcast.  Listen up to learn how to respond to your kids kindly and in ways that you love.

As a military wife, you often feel like a single parent.  And, that parenting can be hard.  Join me for this episode where I talk about how two core fears may be at play in your parenting, making it much harder for you and how to solve for it and make your job as a mother easier, even if you're often on your own.

I'm talking this week all about how to enjoy being you in this military life of yours, why you aren't right now, and why you might want to start doing this.  Here's the short answer: it's completely possible for you to do this and you'll be so glad to start doing it because it's more fun, and it makes it so much easier to have the kind of marriage and other relationships in your life that you actually want to be a part of.  And it makes it so much easier to handle the roller coaster life that is the military wife life.
