Diana sits down with Jen and Kirst from Wives of the Armed Forces (formerly Wives of the Air Force) WAF for a long awaited conversation. WAF was created with the motive of reframing the conversation around the military lifestyle to that of a more encouraging and positive conversation. We love that! They have a round table type conversation about all things identity, friendships, the comparison game, and so much more. For a more detailed look at the episode here is a minute by minute breakdown:

0 - 6 Introducing Jen and Kirst! What is the “Wives of the Armed Forces?”
7 - 17 Our peaks and pits of the week.
18 - 21:30 introducing the topic of the week: discovering and rediscovering your identity
21:30 - 28 when in your lives have you had the thought “who the heck am I? What am I doing in my life?”
28 - 36 when in your life have you acknowledged the pattern we have of trying to keep our old identity rather than embracing the new environment we’re in and growing into it?
36 - 45 the iconic graphic I loved by Jen and Kirst about how this life feels on the inside versus what it looks like from the outside. What was your feedback with the graphic?
46 - 50 the importance of not comparing each others pains.
50 - 57 military spouses are so much more than “military spouses,” but also learning to embrace that side of ourselves. Embracing the good parts of the spouse community and finding friendships. Supporting each other.
57 - 1:12 how to you keep your sense of identity and confidence when you PCS and are thrown into an entirely new group of people? What to think about when making new friendships when you move. Learning to reinvent yourself for the better with these moves.
1:12 -  our values of the week
