Description
The military lifestyle is often very lonely and isolating. So let's build a community that moves with you wherever you go!Bi-weekly, I will bring you practical tips and tactics to help you navigate this crazy life. Like how EXACTLY do I pack out my house? What do I say to my kids when they are crying because Daddy is gone again? How do I make it though a deployment without losing my mind?! And how the heck do I find and keep a job when we move every 2-3 years? We are going to get into all the things! We are also going to spotlight mil spouses killing it in their careers and how they did it. Your host, Alison, is a 22 year mil spouse veteran and has seen some things! She will share her experiences, the good, bad and ugly. Lets do this!
