(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!

You want to set and achieve meaningful goals. And yet…
You know you have an upcoming PCS (no idea where yet). Or your spouse will probably be deploying. Or you are due with a new baby in July. Is it possible to set goals for your current season of life? What is a realistic goal? Should you just let life happen this year??
In this workshop replay, I take you through my actual annual planning process and show you how it is possible to plan your best year yet (yep, even in an unpredictable season).
Be sure to give this one is listen…because it might not stay around forever!
XO,
Christine

Do you struggle to start a new habit? Sustain a habit? Are you trying to break a bad habit? Does the unpredictability of military life make you shy away from pursuing a new habit?
I get it! The thought goes something like this. I want to do better in this area. BUT…we’re about to PCS. Or my spouse is about to deploy. Or we’re about to ______________ (fill in the blank). I’ll wait until a better time.
But so much of goal setting (and goal achievement) comes down not to just the goal itself, but the systems and routines we create to help us make progress towards those goals.
In this episode, we break down the four building blocks of habit formation and the keys to your success in starting and sustaining a habit(along with the secret to breaking bad habits).
Spoiler alert: It’s less about the unpredictability of your schedule and more about things you can actually control!!
Can’t wait to unpack the four secrets to success with you!

Christine

Does a vision board actually work? Should you make one? How do you get started?
Hey friend,
Today we are talking all about vision boards. Nope, not how to create a vision board, but the 5 THINGS you need to get clear on BEFORE you ever sit down to make your vision board.
Because the last thing I want for you is to chase a dream that deep down you don’t actually want and doesn’t lead you your purpose. You don’t have to wait for tomorrow to chase your dreams as a military spouse, but it starts with getting clarity on what you ACTUALLY WANT.
Today I’m going to show you to do just that!
XO,
Christine

I’m here to BUST THE MYTH that having your best year yet and SETTING ACHIEVABLE GOALS is about having it all figured out on JAN 1… or even JAN 31. Instead, it’s about taking time to assess where you are today and how you want to grow over the next year.
Too many people will tell you to focus on your bucket list or your vision board. They’ll tell you that you need to focus on one thing to make yourself better at this year. But they won’t help you actually get there.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what it looks like to actually set (AND PURSUE) Meaningful Goals for your year. How do you know what they right goals for YOU are? How do you choose a goal? How do you make progress on a goal in the middle of a PCS or deployment? What does it look like to achieve goals when circumstances are outside your control.
And how can you get started today? Or, you know, sometime before the end of the year. Because what matters most is taking action and living intentionally this year.
Lets talk about how to do it!

Christine

Do you have a word of the year for 2022? Choosing a word of the year can be a game changer in our life. Why? Because it guides the decisions that we make and highlights an area that we can grow in.
But how do you choose a word of the year? In this quick bonus episode, I unpack a process for choosing a word of the year (and a word of warning!). Plus, I reveal my 2022 word of the year.
If you’ve chosen your word, head over to Facebook and share your word with our community. Can’t wait to see what is in store for YOU and for the MilSpouse Mastermind community this year!
With you on the journey,

Do you LOVE creating new years resolutions? Or do you tend to avoid it altogether? Or do you find yourself somewhere in between?
Everywhere we turn right now, people are talking about setting goals, vision boards, dreaming big, and setting resolutions for the new year. According to one survey, 89% of millennials will make a resolution for the new year.
But if we really want to set ourselves up to have our best year yet, there’s a lot more to goal setting than just creating a new years resolution. Today, we’re discussing seven steps to set better new years resolutions (and actually set yourself up for success in 2022). If you’ve given up creating goals as a military spouse because life feels so unpredictable, or you’re just tired of setting goals and failing to achieve them, give this episode a listen!
Cheers to a new year (and a new approach to goal setting)!

2021 should have been my easy year. For the first time in several years as a military family, we didn’t PCS or have a baby. Change didn’t choose me. But it wasn’t an easy year. Because I chose change.
In the final episode of 2021, I’m breaking down the lessons that I learned from reflecting on my year, and giving you practical questions to help you conduct your own year in review. Because setting goals, annual planning and new years’ resolutions shouldn’t start by looking ahead. Lasting personal growth and change comes from first reflecting on how we've grown over the last year and what we’ve learned along the way.
Can’t wait to hear your takeaways!

Peace and joy? Loneliness and anxiety? Overwhelm and frustration? As Christmas draws near, each of us are in different places. Many military families will be far from home. Many military spouses will have a loved one deployed. Many will be overwhelmed and exhausted from saying yes to all the things.
Wherever you find yourself today, here’s what I want you to know. Here’s what I want you to remember. From the heart of one military spouse to another. This special episode is my Christmas wish for you!

Hi friend,
Are you on a collision course with burnout? Are you running on empty? Do you feel like you have nothing left to give?
Last week on the show we talked about strategies for managing our stress level. Today we’re going one step further and talking about burnout.
In this episode, we unpack what burnout is, why you may struggle to recognize the warning signs of burnout, and how to create your recovery plan once you recognize the problem. My goal is to help you end this year well and set yourself up for a new year full of possibility and the healthiest version of you.
Let’s do this!
Xo,
Christine
