Join me, Kristen Jacobs, as I dive into the rollercoaster journey of my international PCS move to Iwakuni, Japan. It's a tale filled with long layovers, nerve-wracking paperwork, and the emotional reunion with my husband in Hiroshima. I vividly share the grueling physical and emotional challenges, coupled with the constant worries of adapting to a new environment with a medical condition. I've got insights to share, lessons learned, and valuable tips on making the most of a PCS move. This is a story not just about relocating, but about resilience, growth, and the strength of the human spirit.

In the second half of this episode, I shift gears and go deeper into the broader concept of PCSing. I'll tackle subjects like the power of preparation, the importance of emotional resilience, and the undeniable need for a supportive community during such a time.

Be prepared to jot down some practical strategies and simpler tips to ease your relocation stress. And because your voice matters, I open the floor to hear and discuss your personal PCS stories and future topics you'd like me to cover. So, tune in, and together let's turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
