Welcome to the Milspouse Transformation Summer Series. Each week, we focus on one particular area of our life that will help us truly live a life that we're excited about, one with more meaning and less overwhelm. 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.

This week’s episode is about managing our finances, both what we can do to stretch our dollars today, and what we can do to set ourselves and our families up for long-term success. This week’s guest is Jerry Quinn, who served for over three decades in the military and now serves as the chief operating officer at the American Armed Forces Mutual Aid Association.

Loneliness and isolation are two things that many military spouses struggle with. This episode is all about building a community and friendships as a military spouse. My guest for this conversation is someone who has been very intentional about investing in people.

Megan B. Brown is a seasoned military spouse, author, and the founder and executive director of MilspoCo. Can’t wait for you to hear this very honest conversation about finding your people as a military spouse.

This summer we are working our way through the Milspouse Transformation Series, an entire series focused on small shifts you can make today as a military spouse, that can transform your life and lead to some really big results. 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. We discuss:

• Some of the added challenges of parenting military-connected kids
• How to set and hold boundaries
• How you as the parent can remain calm
• Ways to intentionally invest in your children

Welcome back to our Summer Milspouse Transformation Series, an entire series focused on small shifts you can make today as a military spouse, that can transform your life and lead to some really big results. Each week, we focus on one particular area of our life that will help us truly live a life that we're excited about, one with more meaning and less overwhelm.

This week we are focused on your relationship with your spouse or significant other. And for this conversation, I invited Dr. Lindsay Cavanaugh back onto the show. My first conversation with Dr. Lindsay is still one of the most downloaded episodes of the show. She is a military spouse, psychologist, marriage coach, and the host of the Married After Kids podcast. In other words, she absolutely gets how hard military marriage can be, and WHAT YOU CAN DO to create the marriage you want.

This topic is near and dear to my heart, as someone who has lived in seven homes in ten years. This episode is going to be a little bit different from every other episode in the series. I’ll tell you why inside today's episode…

Each week, we focus on one particular area of our life that will help us truly live a life that we're excited about, one with more meaning and less overwhelm.

There’s one aspect of our health and well-being that we haven’t talked as much about on the podcast. This is perhaps because we don’t always have great language for it. However, research indicates that it deeply impacts our mental and emotional well-being. So today we’re diving into our spiritual health.

I sit down with Dr. Sharita Knobloch (also a milspouse) to discuss her research on religion, spirituality, and military spouse mental health. I can’t wait to share this conversation with you!

Today we are talking specifically about nutrition and how to be healthy on a budget. Fueling our bodies is important, but trying to figure out how to eat well is can sometimes feel overwhelming.

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. We talk about making healthy choices during a stressful PCS, how to encourage healthy eating for the whole family (even those picky eaters), and ways to save money at your local grocery store or commissary.

Better Together,

Christine

Today’s conversation is with Evie King, the 2023 AFI Military Spouse of the Year, and the Executive Director of In-Dependent, a wellness community built by military spouses for military spouses. We discuss why having specific wellness resources for military spouses matters, and how we can invest in our mental and emotional well-being.
