After being in the military for around a year I became a workaholic. I lost sight of who I was as a wife and mom. There was a point in my career where everything was crumbling around me. Then, after a 20-week miscarriage, I went into a depression. I wanted to deploy with a prestigious unit, and the answer was no. I felt rejected… as if I had failed. I began to blame the military for lost time with my family. My husband and I ended up separating because of my career focus and lack of communication at the time.&nbsp; I felt like I had lost everything.&nbsp; I started looking for hope by reading personal development and seeking God. I realized it wasn’t my career that was going to make me happy, it was God and the people around me. I was missing the fun in my life. I had to learn how to let go and get off the hamster wheel of go-go-go.&nbsp; I was led to change and it began with prayer, therapy, surrender, boundaries, balance, forgiveness, and lots of coaching! &nbsp; I’m here to help you create a life of meaning outside the military. A life of laughter, joy, peace, and free time. YES, you read that correctly, so if you are ready to overcome burnout and create balance as a Christian military woman, this is the podcast for you. &nbsp; Loosen your laces and grab your coffee, it’s time to step into freedom and peace!Learn more &gt;&gt;&gt; https://wendiwray.com⠀Connect &gt;&gt;&gt;hello@wendiwray.com⠀Community&gt;&gt;bit.ly/beyondthemilitarygrp⠀Instagram&gt;&gt;&gt;@wendiwray⠀Wanna work together, sister-friend!?
