Milspouse Matters

Aug 24 2022 • 27 mins

Welcome back to a new season! On this episode, I'm answering listener questions and talking about what's coming.

Some topics we cover:

  • Is it ok to call yourself a milspouse or military spouse?
  • What's been the hardest (and best) part of being a military spouse?
  • How much should I share with my spouse when they're deployed?
  • I feel nervous about homecoming. Is this normal?
  • How to stay sane when facing a PCS move after just having a baby?
  • Do you have any insight on living in Bahrain?
  • Did you ever feel torn between personal happiness/priorities and spouse’s job/career change?
  • Any advice on how to handle feelings of resentment starting to build?
  • Do you have any tips to keep our relationship strong during an overseas PCS?
  • Is it normal to feel jealous of the relationship my spouse has with the Army? I feel second place.
  • Is it normal to be sad about going from dating for 2 years to joining military life and missing my old life?
  • How do I prepare for an overseas PCS move? I’m overwhelmed!
