Trying to navigate a career as a military spouse is tough! But having your own thing is possible! In today’s episode, we chat with Mary Elaine Baker, a military spouse veteran who chose to leave her teaching career for a better work-life balance. She became a virtual assistant and eventually created VAUSA, a company that connects military spouses with virtual job opportunities.
We talk about her journey from brand new military wife and mom to now living a life that allows her time freedom and flexibility, while pursuing a mission that she is passionate about. Mary Elaine shares about the joys and challenges of starting your own business as a military spouse and what it looks like to pursue a dream, while still navigating military life and dealing with frequent deployments. We talk about work-life balance as a military spouse, finding your own identity, communicating with your active duty military member, the importance of knowing your why, work from home jobs for military spouses, and the skills you need to become the person you want to be.
You’ll walk away from this episode feeling both encouraged and inspired to chase your own dreams and find something that you can take with you wherever you go!

Have you ever blamed your lack of satisfaction with life on your circumstances? I think we could all answer with a resounding YES!
Tough love alert: It’s much easier to talk about how we’re unhappy with the way things are and much more difficult to actually go about building a life we love when OUR CIRCUMSTANCES DON’T CHANGE.
Too often we equate having a life we love with having the right home, living in the right location, having the right job, etc.
Today we’re taking an honest look at the question, “What do you do when the life you’re living doesn’t look like the life you want?”
I’m giving you a seven-part framework that you can use to pursue a life of greater joy, purpose and impact TODAY.
A life that lights you up and brings life to those around you. A life that leads you closer to who you were meant to be.
If you’re ready to live an authentic life that aligns more of WHAT you do with WHO you are, then listen in!
