Have you ever written your spouse an "open when" letter? Open when it's your birthday, open when you miss me, open when it's a holiday, etc. During one of her husband's deployments, Lizann Lightfoot thought - who is writing these "open when" letters to military spouses? Every letter starts off by acknowledging what you're going through without any judgement. This life is difficult and no one should have to go through it alone. This book is the validation we all need - that someone else is going through, thinking, and/or feeling the same things you are. The post AWTR Show #865: Open When: Letters of Encouragement for Military Spouses first appeared on Army Wife Network.
I'm thrilled to share a recent interview that I was able to do with Lizann Lightfoot aka The Seasoned Spouse. It was such a pleasure to have her on my podcast to talk about her new book, Open When - Letters of Encouragement for Military Spouses. Listen in to hear our discussion about why this book is such an incredible tool to have readily available for military spouses anywhere in their military life journey. These letters are a treasure trove of encouragement and valuable advice for military spouses on some of our hardest days. Each chapter stands alone ready to be read in the moment you need it. On the days when others don't understand military life or when you have questions about military housing or when you spend your first night alone or when your orders change on short notice or when it's almost time for homecoming or when it's time to retire. Check out this episode and read this book, then share it with a friend who you know could use it. You'll be so glad you did! Enjoy!

A challenge that many military spouses face is finding a job that can fit their lifestyles. Between the PCS moves across country or even overseas, to the difficulty of locating childcare at each new duty station; a flexible job is not easy to come by. Freelancing provides a unique opportunity to be your own boss. You get to make your own schedule and focus on writing topics based on your own experiences and interests. The question is how to get started making money. In this show, my guest Lizann shares her story and tips about becoming a successful freelance writer. Lizann Lightfoot is a Marine Corps wife and mother of 5 children. She has been writing professionally on topics related to the military community for over 4 years and has self-published two books. Her blog, The Seasoned Spouse, receives thousands of visits each month and Lizann’s writing has been published by major outlets such as Military Spouse Magazine and Military Families. She is sharing her story behind becoming a freelance writer and best practices for those interested in getting their start.

On Episode 22 of Hurry Up and Wait, I talk with Lizann Lightfoot, the Seasoned Spouse, about the new book she wrote called Ultimate Deployment Guide which is available on Amazon. Her and her husband have been together for 19 years and through 7 deployments so she knows a thing or two. She is a writer and blogger and creates awesome resources for other military spouses which can all be found through the links on her blog. She is passionate about answering questions, sharing knowledge with other spouses and pointing them in the direction of the resources they have available to them. We then drive into her recently published book Ultimate Deployment Guide. She created this guide as a way for spouses to feel more confident and at peace when facing a deployment. The book is non branch specific so it should work no matter what branch of the military your service member is in. This book includes checklists and worksheets which means it is personal and you make it your own. The worksheets include getting emergency contact info, writing down all the joint account passwords/ usernames, household budget, car maintenance, etc. The book also includes information on care packages, self-care, and creating a bucket list for yourself during the deployment. Then, we chat about communication during a deployment. Lizann gives some great advice about keeping expectations manageable. You don’t really know what communication options are going to be available for a certain deployment until your service member is gone. They might have an idea but remember every deployment is different. Also, Lizann says she gets a ton of questions about the homecoming part of deployment and this again comes down to expectations and communication. Also, I ask about sharing stressful news with your service member that is deployed and how to go about that if they can’t really help with the situation. Will it just make them more stressed? I end the interview by asking Lizann some logistical questions about writing and publishing a book as well as other resources. Go find Lizann at Seasoned Spouse and you can get her book on Amazon. Also, remember to contact her if you are buying in bulk because she can give you a discount!
