This episode of Thank You For Your Service pulls back the curtain on one of the military’s most overlooked realities: the silent struggle of military spouses navigating geo-batching. Chelsea Thomas, founder of Family in Flight, joins Eric Lopkin for a powerful conversation about the emotional, financial, and personal challenges that come with living apart to keep a family stable. Chelsea shares the surprising truth that many spouses feel more supported during a deployment than during geo-batching, and reveals how isolation, identity, and system gaps affect thousands of families across the country. Her honesty hits hard, and her mission to build community and recognition for these families matters now more than ever. If you value truth, freedom, and the real stories behind military service, this episode delivers insight you won’t hear anywhere else. Listen now at exvadio.com or your favorite podcast platform.
