May 08, 2023 144. Why You Feel Unfulfilled - More Than A Milspouse Series, Day 1
Welcome to the More Than A Milspouse Series!
You are more than a milspouse, friend. You have something unique and valuable to offer the world.

And yet you feel stuck in a lifestyle that seems to be holding you back and keeping you stressed, frustrated and unfulfilled.

You dream of a future after military life when you can finally find the right job, the forever home, happiness, and finally pursue your goals and dreams.

This series will help you tap into your unique purpose and potential as a military spouse. You’ll walk away knowing how to create a life that inspires you today. A life filled with more meaning, and less overwhelm. A life that allows you to trade your frustration for fulfillment, and your isolation for a life of impact.

You ready?

Today we’re diving into the real reason you feel unfulfilled, why what you’ve tried hasn’t worked, and how to tap into what’s possible for your life TODAY (not in some future season).

We’ll unpack the three keys to a fulfilling life, how to identify what’s not working, and how to get to the root of what’s really holding you back.

Can’t wait to unpack this with you!

Better Together,
Christine

May 01, 2023143. The Power of Knowing You Are Exactly Where You Are Supposed to Be with Air Force Spouse Morgan Scully
What happens when military life gets in the way of your dreams?

That’s what happened to Morgan Scully. From a young age Morgan knew she wanted to be in the profession of helping and healing. She graduated with a BS in psychology, and a MA in counseling, with a goal of entering the mental health profession. But moving with the military made starting her own practice challenging.

She tried everything from teaching school, to planning travel, to getting involved with an MLM company. But she always knew she was meant for more and that she that had a passion for mental health.

In this episode we talk about Morgan’s journey, what she’s learned along the way, and how she was finally able to find a way to combine her background and passion for mental health, with her love and respect of animals, and step into a purpose that is truly a dream come true.

We unpack:
How getting hung up on the “how” kept Morgan feeling stuck
Her biggest learning curve
What a gestalt therapist actually does
The transformations that come from choosing to invest in your health and wholeness
How to step into that feeling of knowing that you are exactly where you need to be

I can’t wait to share this conversation with you!

Better Together,
Christine

April 24, 2023 142. Don’t Have TIME⏳ to Start the Business or Pursue That Goal? 6 Time Management Hacks For Busy Military Spouses
Sometimes it feels like there is never enough time during the day.

Especially if you have littles at home, you are working full time, or you are currently solo parenting, it can feel like every hour of the day is spoken for. Amiright??

And while you would absolutely love to find time for yourself, or to actually start that business, or pursue that goal, it just never seems to happen. I totally get this because I’ve been there. Heck, some days I’m still there.

But when I think back to what I’ve learned in the last six years of working from home and navigating military life, there are 6 time management hacks that have been really helpful to me as a work from home military spouse. Want to know what they are? Then let’s chat about it!

April 10, 2023 139. Afraid to Fail? Worried You Won’t Be Successful? One Simple Shift That Will Transform Your Life and Business As a Military Spouse
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I could never do that. That's not something I'm naturally good at. That's not my skill set. That's not possible for me. I'm not smart enough, talented enough, fill-in-the-blank enough.”
Those thoughts stem from a belief or perception of what is and is not possible for you, and what you believe you are capable of achieving.
The beliefs we hold dramatically influence how we live our lives. They can help us achieve our biggest goals and dreams; or they can keep us stuck, too afraid of failure to take action.
The good news is that we have the power to change our thoughts, beliefs and mindsets. So today we are talking about one extremely powerful mindset that will dramatically influence your success in life. Find out what it is, and how to cultivate it in your life.
Better Together,
Christine

March 13, 2023 135. Let’s Get Real: Mental Health, Trauma, Coping Strategies & Dealing With the Tough Parts of Military Life with Drs. Dustin & Kerry Brockberg
Military life can be tough, both for military members and for military spouses. And sometimes the experiences we go through can have an adverse affect on our mental and emotional health.
In this week’s episode, we are digging into the tough parts of military life and addressing mental health. I sit down with Drs. Dustin and Kerry Brockberg, psychologists and the authors of a new book, entitled Ending Your Covert Mission: A Veteran’s Guide to Fighting Pain and Addiction.
We discuss trauma, PTSD, coping strategies, pain, and how to move forward in a healthy way.

My hope is that this conversation is yet another reminder that no one has to stay stuck or suffer in silence. It is possible to find relief and experience recovery.
Better Together,
Christine

About More Than a Milspouse | mindset, clarity, work-life balance, create a purpose-fueled life as a military spouse, Milspouse Mastermind

From the publisher's feed

(Formerly The Milspouse Mastermind Show). The go to podcast for military spouses who want to live with more meaning and less overwhelm!

Have you ever felt stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, frustrated…

or unfulfilled as a military spouse?
Are you tired of putting your own dreams, goals and plans on hold; waiting for some future season to build a life you love?
Do you sometimes feel like you’ve lost sight of who you are and what you have to offer?

More Than a Milspouse is here to empower you to GET UNSTUCK, CRAFT A LIFE WITH PURPOSE, and show you that YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR TOMORROW TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS.

In this podcast, we dig into all things military spouse life, from the mind and growth work that has to happen in order for you to completely get unstuck and feel fulfilled every single day – YES, IT’S POSSIBLE – to practically navigating the unpredictability of military life.

Through honest conversations and expert interviews, we’ll help you set goals, combat stress and anxiety, incorporate self-care as a military spouse, boost your mental and emotional health, and prioritize what matters most, so that you can pursue your life, career and business dreams (with more joy and less overwhelm as a military family).

👋 Hi, I’m Christine, a seasoned military spouse, marketing strategist, mom of three, and coffee connoisseur. I am all-too-familiar with the challenges that come with frequent moves, deployments, TDYs and trying to balance military life with your own dreams and passions.

After four moves and three babies in four years, I became an accidental stay at home mom. I began a journey to find myself again and figure out how to love the life I was actually living, rather than the one I had imagined for myself.

If there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s this: You were made for more! More than the managing of schedules, keeping up with kiddos and holding down the home front.

YOU have something uniquely valuable to offer, and when you pursue the things that light your heart on fire, you trade frustration for FULFILLMENT and isolation for IDENTITY, CONNECTION, and a life of IMPACT.

I’m here to help you thrive as a military spouse, get clarity on what fuels and fills you, and give you practical tools and strategies to craft a life of MEANING and PURPOSE today.

Whether you are an Army spouse, an Air Force spouse, a Marine spouse, a Navy spouse, Coast Guard spouse, or a Space Force spouse, this is the podcast for you!

Friend, it’s time to reclaim your life and dreams and discover who you are meant to be because together we can change the world!
