August 08, 2022 94. Feel Like You’ve Fallen Off The Wagon With Your Health And Fitness Goals? How to Develop a Sustainable Wellness Routine with Air Force Spouse Hannah Hensley
Do you struggle with your health and wellness routines as a military spouse? Perhaps you’ve set a physical fitness and nutrition goal for yourself. But then life has gotten in the way. You moved, got pregnant, or your spouse left on another deployment or training. And you wind up frustrated because you know that your health matters. You’re just not sure how to make it a priority and a habit that you can stick with long-term.

Today’s conversation is with Hannah Hensley, who absolutely gets that struggle. She’s a personal trainer and mom of three littles four and under (including TWINS), whose husband was off on anther TDY as we recorded this episode.

We have a real conversation about why your health matters, how to build sustainable wellness habits as moms with young kids, how to balance the need for workouts with the need for sleep, and how to combat those feelings of discouragement and the desire to quit, when another life circumstance prevents you from reaching your goals.

We chat about what this has looked like in Hannah’s life and how she is turning her frustration and challenge into her purpose. I can’t wait to share this conversation with you!

Better Together,
Christine

August 04, 2022 93. July Real Life Recap: PCS Stress and What to Do With ”Negative” Emotions
Do you find yourself wanting to find purpose…outside of your role as a military spouse and parent? But you’re just not sure how to balance it with the demands of military life. You feel pulled in too many directions and sometimes find yourself questioning if you should just put yourself and your dream on the back burner.

Welcome to my monthly real life recap series, where I show you what it actually looks like to pursue goals and live with purpose as a military spouse – the good, the bad and the downright ugly.

If you’ve been following along, the last five months have been a PCS season for me. And we finally made it to July, the month of our required delivery date. Did my household goods finally arrive? Were they covered with mold? Is our PCS finally coming to an end, or will it drag on for another month?

I share my wins for the month, where I struggled, and the lessons we can all learn about stress and emotional well-being as we navigate difficult seasons of life.
Better Together,
Christine

July 25, 2022 91. From “Dependa” to Independent Business Owner: Finding Purpose Through Podcasting & Entrepreneurship With Milso Coach Britt Lanza
When Britt Lanza first became a military spouse she had some preconceived notion of what it meant to be a military spouse and what the community would be like. She questioned how she would be able to create sustainable income for herself and whether she even qualified to wear the title of military spouse. But the more she asked questions, the more she realized that she wasn’t alone. And the more she discovered an amazing and supportive community.

Her quest to learn more about military life led her to begin a podcast, find purpose, and develop passions for community building and for entrepreneurship. In today’s episode we unpack Britt’s story from “dependa” to milspouse business coach and three things you need to consider before starting a passion-fueled business as a military spouse.

July 18, 2022 90. Struggling to Make Friends? 5 Ways to Combat Loneliness and Find Community as a Military Spouse
Struggling to make friends? You're not alone.

I've heard from many military spouses lately that finding true connection and community is a challenge. And I haven't just heard it...I've felt it myself as we moved from one duty station to another this summer.

If you've gone through a PCS this summer, this is probably something you've felt too. Even if you haven't moved recently, the last few years have made making new in-person connections even more challenging for milspouses.

New relationships take time to develop. It can feel exhausting living in a never-ending cycle of trying to make new friends, find your tribe, and then say "see you later."

But what's the alternative? Living with loneliness? Only having on-line community?

This week’s summer quick tip episode is devoted to discussing the challenge of finding and sustaining community as a military spouse. We’re going to talk about five ways that we can combat the loneliness we feel and start making new connections.

Let's tackle this challenge together!
Better Together,
Christine

Do you find yourself wondering what your purpose in life is? Perhaps you struggle with feeling like you’re not living the life you want, but you’re not sure what to do about it. Or perhaps you are letting your fear hold you back from stepping into a life with purpose.
All too often we allow fear to hijack us and keep us stuck where we are today.

He walks us through three questions to ask when we feel stuck and unsure of our purpose and shows us how to take action despite the fear we feel.
If you are ready to stop feeling frustrated, stuck and confused about your life, this episode is for you!

July 04, 2022 87. Help! I’m Trying to Pursue My Goals, But Life Keeps Getting In the Way. What to Do When You Struggle To Reach Your Goals
Somehow we made it to July. I’m not sure how it happened, but we’re halfway through the year. Which makes it a good time to sit down to reflect on and evaluate our goals for the year.

Now you might not even remember the goals you set back in January. You might have gotten completely derailed. Or you might be trying so hard to achieve those goals, but you are so frustrated by all the obstacles that have gotten in the way. You might even find yourself asking if it’s even possible.

If that sounds like you, then today’s episode is for you. It’s time for some real talk about pursuing goals as a military spouse. Nope, I’m not here to tell you to try harder. I’m here to encourage you when the going gets hard. Here’s what to do when you find yourself falling short of your goals.

I hope this encourages and equips you!

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!
