Lt. Cmdr. Natalie Frantz admits she can be a workaholic. While on active duty as a Surface Warfare Officer serving aboard a ship in the seventh fleet (famous for the intense operational tempo required of those crews) she realized she needed to find a way to balance her desire to serve with a healthy personal life.

Natalie's decision to affiliate with the Navy Reserve upon leaving active duty was inspired in large part by her exposure to other reservists and many conversations with mentors.

In this episode of "When Sacrifice Calls," host Lesley Lykins asks how a proud, hard-charging Navy Officer manages to continue to serve in challenging assignments while balancing a healthy personal life and civilian profession.
