  • What's Your Power Word For 2022?

    This season of THEE Conversation is brought to you by our sponsor USAA.

    Let's talk about our Power Word for 2022. 

    What's your word of the year? 

    New Year Resolutions can seem more like a chore that you're marking off your to-do list, whereas choosing a word of the year jump starts you on where you want to BE.   The power word YOU choose helps you begin shifting all areas of your life, not just one. 

    During this episode of #theeconversation, the Conversation Starters share their power words and a little about why they chose the word this year.

    You can watch the video of this episode on our Youtube channel.

  • Celebrating Holidays When You're Away From Family

    As military families, we are often miles and even oceans away from our families and friends.

  • The Silent Crisis

    In this episode of THEE Conversation the conversation starters talk about: 

    THE CRISIS WE DON’T TALK ABOUT

    1. Midlife and identity crisis in the community of people who support the working class.
    2. Creating a positive self identify
    3. Improving mental health in the caregiver community
    4. The duties and responsibilities of caring for a family entail taking on several roles that have an occupational equivalent, and the lack of proper care for the wellbeing of the caregiver can lead to increased stress and burnout. In some cases, the person does try to reach out for help or express their unhappiness with life, and it is met with indifference or misunderstanding because it is perceived as nagging or complaining.

      Whatever someone is going through at any given time is important to them and reminding them it could be worse does not help address the issues they are presently experiencing.

      Join us for social hour and continue the conversation.
