The Unspoken Life of the Military Wife

The military lifestyle is often very lonely and isolating. So let's build a community that moves with you wherever you go. Each week 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. I'm so happy you are here and look forward to connecting with you more!
