Need some ideas to help make military life a little easier? Want to know how to keep the important parts of your identity (and values!) alive? My guest this week is seasoned military spouse Ali Simon. As a Navy FTS wife, mom, and teacher-turned-contractor, she has learned a thing or two along the way, and she’s joining me to talk more about her journey. In this episode, Ali dives into the difference between active and reserve duty (and how she transitioned between the two), she gives her BEST advice to prioritize the parts of your identity that matter MOST, and her TOP 2 tips to help any milspos out there who are struggling with the challenges of being Married to Military.

 

We’re exploring:

  • Married to Military 101: GS Jobs
  • Why Ali struggled to balance her teaching career with military life—and the #1 thing that helped her through 
  • What she believes is the new path for working military spouses 
  • Why doing THIS can help make your marriage so much easier!
  • And much more!
