Juggling a job or business, volunteer work, kids and military life is hard. Maybe you’re trying to do it all and you’re feeling overwhelmed and pulled in all directions. Or maybe you’ve taken a step back to make life a little less crazy for your family, but now you’re aware that something is missing and you aren’t feeling fulfilled. Or maybe you’re rocking it in your career and with your family, but you’ve realized that you really don’t have any friends at your current duty station and that's left you feeling disconnected.
Whatever life looks and feels like for you right now, I want you to know that you can pursue a life of meaning and purpose today without sacrificing your health and sanity. But it all comes down to finding balance. In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about some of the myths regarding balance. What does finding balance actually look like? And I'll give you four hacks to help you live with less overwhelm and find balance in your current season of military life.
You ready? Let's go!

Before having kids, I enjoyed preparing healthy meals for my husband and I. But then came working full time and a toddler and being pregnant and my husband being deployed...and dinner became the time of day I dreaded. Often it looked more like bowls of cereal or a frozen skillet meal I could heat up in 10 minutes. Healthy, balanced meals went out the window.
Until I made this GAME-CHANGING discovery! Freezer meals. Seriously.
While freezer meals might sound like a lot of work, the time, money, hassle and energy they will save you makes them totally worth it! (Especially when your active duty spouse is deployed, you have littles at home, or you’re running to activities every night of the week).
In the last few years, I’ve made hundreds of freezer meals. In this week’s episode, I’m taking the mystery and overwhelm out of making freezer meals. I break down the process into easy-to-follow steps and give you my top seven tips to simplify and streamline the process.
And to help get you started, I created a free easy freezer meal quick-start guide just for you. Freezer meals have made my weekday evenings a little less stressful and I believe they will do the same for you!

All of us have dreams we want to bring to life. Sure, we may have buried our dreams, but they still exist inside of us. And once we identify what that dream is, we have a choice to make.
Will we keep dreaming the dream, or will we take steps to bring the dream to life? Are we willing to step out in courage and pursue our dreams? What about the additional challenges to pursuing our dreams as military spouses?
In this episode, we dig into 5 truths about pursuing a dream as a military spouse. What does it look like to actually live the dream and what tools do you need to help you navigate the journey from dream to execution?

As a relatively new military wife, my worst nightmare came true. My active duty husband received orders to a new duty station, an assignment that I most definitely DID NOT want. I cried when we got the news.
And yet, some of my most favorite memories and pivotal growth moments came out of that assignment. I am who I am today because of that location.

Today we’re digging into something that we all NEED, but most of us fail to prioritize. We make this one thing a nice-to-have and the first-to-go. We make it the reward for having worked hard and accomplishing our goals, rather than the other way around.
But, if we truly want to live a life of impact, without sacrificing what matters most, then we need to shift the way we think about this one thing: REST.
So let’s chat about why rest matters, why we struggle to prioritize it, and how we can practically move towards incorporating rest in our lives (even with young kids).
If you’re ready to pursue your life and dreams from a place of health and wholeness, rather than from a place of striving, then this episode is for you!

You my friend were made for more. And yet so often we aren’t sure what “more” actually means. We feel like something is lacking, like we need a purpose outside of life as a military wife and mom.
But how do we figure out what that is? And how do we pursue our own thing when we’re trying to hold down the home front, take care of the kiddos and manage the unpredictability of military life?
We want to know if it’s really possible to pursue a life of purpose, joy and impact TODAY (without adding to the stress and anxiety we already feel).
This week is the final episode of a three-part series all about finding life purpose as a military spouse. We defined what a purpose and calling is and busted several common myths about living a life of purpose. We discussed how you as a military spouse can move toward greater clarity on your calling regardless of your circumstances.
It’s time to shine a light on how we can practically pursue purpose as military spouses!

Welcome to a bonus episode of the MilSpouse Mastermind Show!
Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day. While this day occurs every year, this year feels even more important.
We’ve all been through a lot in the last year. More stress, more anxiety, more isolation, more uncertainty, more confusion, more loneliness. And so today we just take time to acknowledge all that you, as military spouses, have sacrificed and the contributions you make to the military family unit. We take a moment to reflect on the past and offer hope for a brighter tomorrow.

You, my friend, were made for more. And yet so often we aren’t sure what “more” actually means. We feel like something is lacking, like we need a purpose outside of life as a military wife and mom.
But how do we figure out what that is? And how do we pursue our own thing when we’re trying to hold down the home front, take care of the kiddos and manage the unpredictability of military life?
Is it really possible to pursue a life of purpose, joy and impact TODAY (without adding to the stress and anxiety we already feel)?
Today, we’re beginning a three-part series all about finding life purpose as a military spouse. We’ll cover what a life purpose or calling is (and is not), how we move toward it regardless of our circumstances, and how the heck we figure out what our "thing" actually is.
If you’ve felt stuck in your role as a military spouse or in an unfulfilling job, and you dream of life being different, this is the series for you.
It’s time to shine a light on how we can practically pursue purpose as military spouses!
