(Formerly The Milspouse Mastermind Show). The go to podcast for military spouses who want to live with more meaning and less overwhelm! Have you ever felt stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, frustrated or unfulfilled as a military spouse? Are you tired of putting your own dreams, goals and plans on hold; waiting for some future season to build a life you love? Do you sometimes feel like you’ve lost sight of who you are and what you have to offer? More Than a Milspouse is here to empower you to GET UNSTUCK, CRAFT A LIFE WITH PURPOSE, and show you that YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR TOMORROW TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS. In this podcast, we dig into all things military spouse life, from the mind and growth work that has to happen in order for you to completely get unstuck and feel fulfilled every single day – YES, IT’S POSSIBLE – to practically navigating the unpredictability of military life. Through honest conversations and expert interviews, we’ll help you set goals, combat stress and anxiety, incorporate self-care as a military spouse, boost your mental and emotional health, and prioritize what matters most, so that you can pursue your life, career and business dreams (with more joy and less overwhelm as a military family). 👋 Hi, I’m Christine, a seasoned military spouse, marketing strategist, mom of three, and coffee connoisseur. I am all-too-familiar with the challenges that come with frequent moves, deployments, TDYs and trying to balance military life with your own dreams and passions. After four moves and three babies in four years, I became an accidental stay at home mom. I began a journey to find myself again and figure out how to love the life I was actually living, rather than the one I had imagined for myself. If there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s this: You were made for more! More than the managing of schedules, keeping up with kiddos and holding down the home front. YOU have something uniquely valuable to offer, and when you pursue the things that light your heart on fire, you trade frustration for FULFILLMENT and isolation for IDENTITY, CONNECTION, and a life of IMPACT. I’m here to help you thrive as a military spouse, get clarity on what fuels and fills you, and give you practical tools and strategies to craft a life of MEANING and PURPOSE today. Whether you are an Army spouse, an Air Force spouse, a Marine spouse, a Navy spouse, Coast Guard spouse, or a Space Force spouse, this is the podcast for you! Friend, it’s time to reclaim your life and dreams and discover who you are meant to be because together we can change the world! LET’S DO IT!

Life is full of challenges. Full stop. Part of being human is facing challenges and difficulties.
But what truly matters is how we respond in the face of those challenges. Will we grow? Will we develop resilience? Will we learn through those challenges? Or will we let the challenges we face get the best of us?
Today we’re digging in to the concept of resilience. What is resilience? Why does it matter? And what are some strategies that we can use to cultivate resilience for ourselves and our families. You ready? Let’s do this.
Better Together,
Christine

Nearly one in eight families struggle to get pregnant or sustain a pregnancy. And yet infertility is one of those subjects that isn’t talked a lot about. For couples walking through this struggle, it can be extremely isolating and shame-inducing.
This struggle is only exacerbated by life in the military as couples seek to build families around frequent deployments, TDYs and cross-country moves.
This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. I sat down with my friend and 2019 Armed Forces Insurance Scott AFB Spouse of the Year Cat Vandament, to discuss her journey as an infertility warrior and adoptive mom, as well her advocacy work on behalf of military families.
Whatever pain in your life you have walked through, or are currently walking through, you will find hope and encouragement in Cat’s story. I can’t wait to share this conversation with you.
Better Together,
Christine

Are you stuck in a cycle of fear, stress and anxiety? Do the negative thoughts in your head leave you spinning as they play on repeat in your head?
It’s easy to get sucked into these toxic thought patterns. And what’s worse is that eventually they affect how we show up and live our lives. They affect our ability to find joy, experience beauty, to connect with those around us and to live meaningful lives. Eventually these thought patterns begin to affect our physical health as well.
What can we do about it? In today’s episode, we’re diving into how we break the cycle and what to do instead so that we can live rich, meaningful lives. Plus I’ll share 6 ways you can boost your mental health and live feeling filled, fueled and full of joy.
If that feels really far from where you are today because you keep finding yourself stuck in the same negative thought patterns, don’t worry. It’s a common problem with some very practical steps you can take today.
Better Together,
Christine

Tell me if you’ve ever had this experience. You sign up for a new fitness program. You’re exercising hard. You’re doing great in your workouts and then one day you wake up and you just don’t have the energy. What you did great at last week, just feels like a struggle. You’re trying to gut it out and it’s frustrating and painful. You’re body is working against you and you think maybe I should just give up and quit because it’s not easy.
Today we’re going to talk about the productivity and goal killer that no one ever told you about. At least no one ever told me about it. But when I stumbled upon this concept, my mind was blown. I had no idea that this one thing was impacting my performance and goals in all area of my life. Or how I could transform it into a SUPER POWER.
Yep, today we’re diving into the taboo and talking about cycle syncing. Learn how you can harness your hormones to become your secret super power! When we learn to operate in sync with our monthly rhythms we are capable of AMAZING things. It can positively impact our health and fitness, our productivity, our goals, our motherhood and our marriage.

We’ve all been frustrated by military life. We make a plan…and then another one…and then another one. And before we know it…we’re tempted to give up on our goals because life just feels too complicated and overwhelming.
There are too many circumstances outside our control. I get it. That was my March.
Each month I take you behind the scenes to show you what it looks like in my own life as a military spouse trying to pursue goals and live a life of purpose. Some months things go smoothly. Other months feel much more like a rollercoaster ride.
Learn what actually happened in my life this month, what I did about it, and what I learned through the process. This one was a wild ride…so let’s talk about it!
Christine
P.S. I’m offering 5 FREE Get Unstuck coaching calls this month. If you are ready for a breakthrough, you need greater clarity, or someone to help you map out an action plan, don’t delay! Email hello@milspousemastermind.com to grab your free session today! When they are gone, they’re gone!

A lot of military spouses don’t love moving. But most military spouses don’t move EVERY year. And a lot of military families never even attempt to move themselves - also known as a do-it-yourself (DITY) or Personally Procured Move (PPM).
Today I sit down with Mallory, the DITY Mama from @mamas_onthe_move to talk about how her family has navigated 13 do it yourself moves in the last 13 years. Yep, she’s done it while pregnant, with newborns, and with her husband deployed.
She talks about what she’s learned along the way, how she’s turned her circumstances into a platform to help others plan their move, and what to do if you’re considering a DITY move of your own.
As we wrap up this PCS (Permanent Change of Station) series, I hope you feel more empowered to embrace the challenge of moving and to focus on the possibilities and beauty in the midst of chaos.
Better Together,
Christine

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing helpful tips for your journey. But part one of this series is devoted to a topic that will make home life less stressful, regardless of whether you’re moving this summer or not.
In fact, doing THIS will help you in all other areas of your life. So let’s dig into how DECLUTTERING YOUR HOME will help reduce your stress, help you have a smoother PCS, AND help you show up as the MilSpouse you want to be.
Better Together,
Christine
