Buckle up for a podcast episode that’ll hit you right in the military spouse feels—I’m spilling why Be Safe, Love Mom by Elaine Brye, a badass mom of FOUR officers (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines!), totally blindsided me with its unputdownable magic! I had no expectations going in, but wow—I devoured it in under a weekend, hooked by Brye’s infectious optimism and Kabul-deployed grit, like a real-life Super Mom. Her tales of surviving deployments, boot camp goodbyes, and the “Sisterhood” that keeps us sane had me nodding and tearing up—she gets it, and I’m buzzing to share her wisdom (think Military OneSource hacks and Blue Star love) with you! Bonus: I’m also dishing on Another Move, God? by Beth Runkle—another gem for our chaotic life. Click to hear why these books are my new must-reads—you won’t believe how much they’ll lift you up!

I’m breaking down how this game-changer, with Air Force ace Nick Hague and Russian whiz Alexander Gorbunov at the helm, proves our space future’s brighter than a supernova—safer, bolder, and oh-so-epic. From military grit to Elon’s genius, this is the sci-fi saga you didn’t know you needed—click play or miss the launch of a lifetime!

I’m excited to chat about some big updates in my life that are shaking things up in the best way! My husband surprised me with tickets to a family history convention, where I’ll be digging into military research and learning how to write those stories—can’t wait to share what I pick up. I’ve also jumped into Criticless, this awesome app where parents like me are swapping real reviews to figure out what media works for kids, and I’ve started a little community there I’d love for you to check out. Oh, and my 100-book challenge? I hit a wall, but rereading Tommy and Tuppence and Pratchett’s Night’s Watch has been a lifesaver—plus, I’ve got some cool interviews coming up I’ll tease a bit. It’s a busy, fun time, and I’d love for you to hang out with me for it!
