Keep Your Courage

Sometimes it can feel like nobody understands the toll that the military life takes- the uncertainty, the demands from constant interruptions, how many people need us but we need to keep going even when our own heart is broken.

If you feel alone, unseen, like maybe no one understands what it's really like to live as a military wife, this episode is for you.

One of the most common experiences I hear from military wives is best summarized with “I’m just trying to get through today.” Not all, but so much of military life is lived in those threadbare places- overwhelmed from a move, exhausted in the middle of a deployment, stressed from finding work or parenting solo or longing for friends. It’s hard to get perspective when your right-now life demands so much. When we have those moments- what do we do? How do we make it? I have some stories, some thoughts, and some questions to encourage you.

I bet I'm not the only one where my life doesn't necessarily look the way I thought it would or fit in a neat and tidy box. There's so much about military life that forces us into creativity- to look at something in a new way to see how it has actually been serving us or how we have been serving others. As hard as it is, I think this is a good thing. Let me show you what I mean. Listen in. Find Sarah on Instagram! Sign up for Sarah's monthly letter

In this hard military life, the most important way I have found to make it through is by finding connection with others. But it's also so, so important to remain connected with your own self, stay in tune with your desires and purpose and passion in life and make sure you're playing the note you're supposed to play. I have also found this is the piece of milso life that is most easily lost as we move so much and keep the ship afloat on behalf of our family. What do we do with that? We explore all of it here.
