Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire Podcast! I am so excited to finally bring this podcast to you and launch it out in the world. This has been a long-time-coming dream of mine, and after struggling to get it off the ground for fear of it not being “perfect,” here I am, jumping in and doing it, because I have important things to say that I need people like you to hear!

As a military spouse, realtor, and self-made millionaire, I’m here to help you learn how to do the MOST with your military entitlements while you’re active duty so you can set yourself up for success and generational wealth in the future. This is a podcast where I’ll be spilling the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between when it comes to real estate and military life. Join me for this episode where I’m sharing who I am and why the hell you should listen to me!
