Heather and Nate sit down to discuss their experience through two deployments and one short tour over the last 10 years and how it affected their relationship and what they did to prepare each time. The couple tackles the controversial topic of whether or not they think getting married to your partner before a deployment is necessary or not. They share some tips on how you can create financial security for your loved ones back home, other emergency preparedness things to check off your pre-deployment checklist, and how a mindset shift can make the time go by more smoothly.Highlights:00:00 10 years, 2 deployments, and 1 short tour06:00 Do you need to get married before deployment?07:45 Updating your beneficiaries and other preparedness10:00 Our deployment experience as an engaged couple14:00 TDYs are HARD16:45 Shout out Royal Hawaiian!18:10 Communicating how you're feeling is key20:00 Ask those who have experienceLet's ConnectConnect with us HEREPodcast IG: chirpinwithchipTikTok: heather.demersWebsiteLINKS/CODES/DISCOUNTSFor business inquiries: heatherdemers@trend-mgmt.comFor all our favorite products:LTK is linked HEREShopMy is linked HEREThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Nearly one in eight families struggle to get pregnant or sustain a pregnancy. And yet infertility is one of those subjects that isn't talked a lot about. For couples walking through this struggle, it can be extremely isolating and shame-inducing. This struggle is only exacerbated by life in the military as couples seek to build families around frequent deployments, TDYs and cross-country moves.   This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. I sat down with my friend and 2019 Armed Forces Insurance Scott AFB Spouse of the Year Cat Vandament, to discuss her journey as an infertility warrior and adoptive mom, as well her advocacy work on behalf of military families. Whatever pain in your life you have walked through, or are currently walking through, you will find hope and encouragement in Cat's story.  I can't wait to share this conversation with you.   Better Together, Christine   MENTIONS https://infertilityawareness.org   Connect With Cat Instagram Email Linked In   LINKS START HERE: How To Get UNSTUCK And Craft A Life With PURPOSE (FREE ASSESSMENT) https://milspousemastermind.com/growthwheel STOP THE OVERWHELM: How to Prioritize What Matters Most to You (FREE WORKSHEET) https://milspousemastermind.com/values  FIND YOUR TRIBE: Join the Free MilSpouse Mastermind FB Community https://milspousemastermind.com/community DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE MEANT TO BE: MilSpouse Purpose Playbook  https://morethanamilspouse.com GET SUPPORT: Request a Get Unstuck Coaching Session hello@milspousemastermind.com LEARN MORE: https://milspousemastermind.com LEAVE A SHOW REVIEW: https://milspousemastermind.com/show CONNECT VIA EMAIL: hello@milspousemastermind.com CONNECT VIA INSTAGRAM: @milspousemastermind

Have you ever thought to yourself, “When my active duty spouse is gone, I'll get all these things accomplished?” And then Murphy's Law of Deployment happens.   The car breaks down. The kids get sick. The air conditioner stops working. If your spouse is gone, that's inevitably when something goes wrong. But while we may be more acutely aware of this phenomenon, the truth is there are things that will always get in the way of us pursuing our goals. Any time we try to make a positive change, we will face obstacles.   It's called resistance. And it's the reason why most new years' resolutions are never kept. Why most dreams simply stay dreams.   In today's episode, we unpack what resistance is, why we face it, and we discuss 3 specific strategies to keep us moving forward despite the obstacles in our way!

Sarah and I sit down this week to read and react to your follower submitted stories about surviving TDYS, deployments, and DETS. As military spouses, we all know that when your loved one is gone, that is when people or things either get trashed, smashed, or just plain crash- whether that's your AC unit combusting in the middle of the summer, your kid breaking leg, or maybe your hot water heater exploding all over your brand new hardwood floors. Could also just be your sanity! Either way, things just get weird. So we asked ya'll to share with us your most cringiest, weirdest, funny-even-though-at-the-time-not-so-funny stories, and as always, the RHFP fam did not disappoint. We aren't saying misery loves company, but I think we can all relate and commiserate with a few of these. Plus, they are had us rolling! So sit back, pour yourself a coffee or cocktail (time of day isn't important, we aren't judging) and buckle up.

She graduated from the United States Military Academy, West Point in 1997 and has a Masters of Science in Physical Geography from the University of Maryland. She spent ten years as a Military Police officer and ten years as an Information Operations officer. As a retiree, Benef remains passionate about educating service members of the benefits mindfulness practices have on the mind and body. She’s trained to teach trauma sensitive yoga and is also on the board of directors of Warriors at Ease, a non-profit organization that brings mindfulness practices to the military and veteran communities. She’s an iRest (Integrative Restoration) meditation teacher and advocates to have mindfulness practices as part of a regular resiliency program that starts in basic training and continues throughout a service member’s career. Benef continues to serve as a spouse and retiree through volunteering in the community as the president of the Zama Community Spouses Association, the treasurer for the Boy Scouts, advocating for mindfulness practices in the military, educating senior leaders about the benefits of mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, and mentoring service members and spouses. She is the author of Military and Mindful: Eight Essential Elements to Manage Your Military Career and Motherhood.In this episode we talked about the challenges of attending West Point. We also covered the challenges of being dual military. It is often difficult for dual military couples to manage their service, having a family and being separated due to deployments and TDYs. Benef found herself struggling with life and that is when she found yoga as a place of healing and refocusing. It changed her life. After 20 years of service she transitioned out of the military. She found many challenges, although she was ready to leave the military. She wasn’t ready for the transition and what life would mean without her military service. She transitioned to the role of military spouse and mom. It has been a struggle, but through hard work and learning who she was and who she wanted to be she is thriving today and even wrote a book. Connect with Benef (contains affiliate links):Military-Mindful-Essential-Elements-MotherhoodInstagram accountMentioned in this Episode (contains affiliate links):Beyond the Point by Claire GibsonRelated Episodes:Mourning My Military Service – Episode 47From West Point to Iraq – Episode 38Serving in Iraq (the kickoff, the surge, the drawdown) – Episode 32Post 9/11 Female Work Force Experience - Episode 78Include Transitioning guide for the graphic for this blog post 

This topic is near and dear to my heart because I 100% understand the frustrations of employment as a military spouse. It was a struggle for me to work in the financial services industry in the midst of deployments, long TDYs and PCSing. In fact, my whole business was born out of my personal struggle to do what I love and can make money at but also that fit into balancing our family and military life. My guest today is Beth Conlin. Beth is the Senior Advisor for Careers with Blue Star Families. She is a fellow Milspouse and understands the challenges other spouses face when it comes to employment. I’m chatting with Beth about a Blue Star Families program called Spouseforce. Spouseforce is a program working with employers to create employment and training solutions to help Milspouses with jobs that work with their lifestyle. And let’s face it, it’s hard to explain to a new employer you need three weeks off because your hubby who you haven’t seen in a year is coming home. Or that you have to come in 30 minutes later than everyone else for work because you have no one, not a spouse, friend or family member to get your kids to school because you have just arrived at a new duty location.
