Buckle up for this one! This conversation is one that you will want to return to more than once. I sit down with Verenice Castillo, founder and CEO of the Military Spouse Advocacy Network, to talk about the 10-year anniversary of MSAN and what it took to build an organization that has positively impacted the lives of thousands of military spouses. Verenice shares her story of starting with nothing but passion and a desire to help, and how that led to a decade of impact through mentorship, mental health advocacy, and leadership development for military spouses. We talk about what it means to lead when you don't feel “qualified,” how to keep going when you feel like giving up, and why defining your own version of success is the key to creating the life you want. Whether you're in the middle of a hard season or feeling called to something bigger, this episode will remind you that your voice matters, your passion is enough, and feeling stuck does not mean it's time to give up!

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 make change happen. Which works for a little while…until it doesn't. So are we doomed to repeat the same things we've always done? Is it too late for us to become a healthier or better version of ourselves? Absolutely not. Today we're talking about hacking habit change as a military spouse. Why does it feel so hard? And how can we make it easier? Let's talk about it!

The topics in this series are based on the 10 focus areas of the growth wheel, a free life assessment tool available in the Milspouse Transformation Guide. Last week we focused on strengthening our marriage relationship. One of the statistics Dr. Lindsay shared was that after having kids, 95% of couples reported a decline in happiness. Because, as much as we love them, kids take a lot of focused time and attention. That's why this week's episode is focused on your relationship with your kids.

That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to today's guest, Heather Campbell. She is a family nutrition expert, researcher, and military spouse advocate. Together we unpack ways to prioritize your health and nutrition in a lifestyle full of uncertainty, change, and transition.

You are more than a milspouse. Absolutely. But the reality is that, for many of us, being a military spouse becomes a large part of our identity. And the longer that our spouse serves, the more this is true. There's a shared culture, experience, language, and understanding that comes with living the military lifestyle. So what happens when your spouse reaches the end of their service? What does that mean for you and for your identity? That's the question I explore with Jen McDonald. Jen is an award-winning author and podcaster. She's the author of the book, You Are Not Alone: Encouragement for the Heart of a Military Spouse, and Milspouse Matters: Sharing Strength Through Our Stories, which was released in October 2023. Jen is the host of the Milspouse Matters podcast and The Christian Milspouse podcast, with a mission to strengthen and encourage military spouses.

Sometimes good ideas can become problematic. Last week on the podcast, we talked about how a positive mindset can turn into toxic positivity and how “embracing the suck” can actually lead us to resentment, rather than helping us overcome adversity. The key to tapping into the best of both these concepts lies in becoming aware of our feelings and emotions, so that we can process them in a healthy way. While this process begins with mindfulness, and bringing awareness to what we're thinking and feeling, there's a little more to the story. Awareness alone is not enough. Today I'm walking you through a specific process that you can use to increase your focus, improve your mental health and transform your life (in only 10 minutes a day). Ready to learn more? Let's go.

Sometimes life circumstances are hard. It sucks. But the real question is, what is the best way to respond to those circumstances? Is it better to just “embrace the suck” or “think more positively?” Which approach will actually lead you to resilience, true emotional health, and to thriving despite the obstacles in your way?

Have you ever felt lost after a military move? Are you trying to figure out how to get connected? Do you feel "stuck"? Susan Miller from Just Moved Ministry is here to talk about settling in, plugging in, and finding your new normal after a move...after the boxes are unpacked! As she says, "Don't isolate yourself. Join up, and join in!" She not only understands and validates the feelings of being alone and rootless after a move (she was both a military brat and military wife), but gives practical tips on getting involved and connected. She reminds us, "God will not take you anywhere that He doesn't have a place for you." In 1995, Susan launched Just Moved Ministry out of a desire to offer the encouragement and hope of Jesus Christ to women uprooted by a move. Thousands of uprooted women around the world have contacted Just Moved Ministry for personal encouragement, helpful resources, inspiration, prayer support, an online community, and to find the location of an After the Boxes Are Unpacked study group.

The most current numbers of caregivers in the United States is staggering - over 53 million unpaid caregivers but the number that baffles me the most is the number of veteran caregivers - 5.5 million. Among these military caregivers, approximately 20% were caring for veterans who served after 9/11, while the majority were caring for veterans from previous eras. These numbers are from 2019-2020 and may have increased since that time.The subject of caregiving came up most recently when I was taking care of my mother for approximately 2-3 months. It was in a word, overwhelming. I wanted to speak with Ayana to discuss this epidemic among our veteran families and how we as caregivers can take care of ourselves in the process.Listen in as we discuss this and how her Caregivers Toolbox can help!! Ayana is a Navy veteran who later became a MilSpouse and Peer Support Specialist. She launched her business REACH Peer Support Services, LLC in 2021. Her collaborations include The Pink Berets, Camp Shield, Grace Tree Foundation and the Texas Veteran's Commission.Support the show
Headed to an event where you know absolutely no one? Here's your cheat sheet! Seriously, one of the super-fun parts of military life is starting completely over every time you move to build a local support network. And I hear from military spouses all the time that the number one thing they struggle with is finding community. So today we're tackling the important topic of finding friends as a military spouse. And specifically, we're going to talk about the awkwardness of being in a place where you don't yet know anyone. How do you get through those sometimes-awkward first conversations, and really start to build your tribe? Let's talk about it.

Patti's husband, a Marine Veteran, re-entered the service following 9/11 and joined the Army. He was wounded while deployed to Iraq in an IED attack and remained on deployment following his injury. Once he returned home, Patti quickly noticed something was wrong. He was diagnosed with a TBI and was medically retired three years later.

You know the challenges of finding a job as a military spouse. You love the idea of being able to start your own business and work from home. But if you're not a baker or a crafter, what can you do?

If you've been a part of this community for a while, you might know that I love coffee. Good coffee. Freshly roasted coffee that isn't over-roasted and hasn't been sitting on a shelf for months. Some might even call me a coffee snob. I prefer connoisseur. But what most people don't know is that I didn't used to love or even drink coffee. What changed? I bought a coffee shop. It's been almost 11 years since I dove into the world of coffee and entrepreneurship. And I've never really shared publicly about the experience and some of the biggest lessons that I learned along the way…until now. This week I'm taking you on a walk down memory lane, and sharing for the first time the three biggest lessons that I learned owning a brick & mortar shop that I think will help you in your journey, whether you are running your own business or just seeking to live a life with purpose.
