Welcome to "Community Beyond Camo," where we invite you to join our vibrant community and embark on a journey of connection, support, and discovery. I'm your host, Kristen Jacobs, and I'm excited to introduce you to this podcast and the incredible community it represents.

In this overview, we set the stage for what "Community Beyond Camo" is all about. My primary mission is to bring together women connected to the military world, regardless of their spouse's branch, rank, or location. I firmly believe that every military spouse deserves access to valuable resources, a supportive community, and meaningful conversations.

As military spouses, we lead unique lives, and there's a common thread that runs through our diverse experiences. However, we often find ourselves facing isolation and loneliness, especially when those closest to us might not fully comprehend our journey. That's where "Community Beyond Camo" comes in. My aim is to illuminate our stories, share laughter, facilitate learning, and reassure you that you are not alone.

The orgin of this podcast is deeply personal, rooted in my own experiences as a military spouse.

This podcast covers a wide range of topics, from supporting our spouses and families to emphasizing the importance of self-care and self-prioritization. Your role is vital, but you have so much more to offer, and we're here to help you recognize that. I promise to tackle both the challenging and uplifting subjects that are often brushed aside. Topics like separation, deployments, mental health, and even abuse will be discussed openly and honestly. But we'll also celebrate the positives and the countless benefits that come with being part of the military community.

Ultimately, "Community Beyond Camo" is about fostering a genuine sense of community, making this a place to connect you with like-minded women who understand your journey, provide unwavering support, and offer a space where we can truly be ourselves. Together, let's encourage, learn from, and get to know one another.

Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes, where I dive deeper into the heart of the military spouse experience. Welcome to "Community Beyond Camo." Let's connect and thrive together.
