(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!

There are many different ways to serve. For some of us, it's signing up for active duty. For others of us, it's being married to someone who is serving. And for others, like today's guest, it's serving those who serve and their families.
All of it is service. Today's conversation is about entrepreneurship, it's about finding your path to purpose, it's about navigating change, and it's about how we step into our full purpose and potential without burning ourselves out in the process.
I can’t wait to share this conversation with you!
Better Together,
Christine

"Dear Christine, I don't feel like I'm in control of how I'm responding to my situation."
I often say that we can't control our circumstances, but we can control how we respond to what happens. But sometimes when something triggers us, we feel unable to choose how we respond.
So what can we do when we feel powerless to control what we're thinking and feeling, or how we're responding? Let's talk about it!
Better Together,
Christine

In case you’ve been avoiding pretty much all news sources and weren’t aware, Election Day is right around the corner. The good news is you still have a couple of weeks to request an absentee ballot, regardless of where you currently live.
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Alexis McDonald of Secure Families Initiative to break down the voting process, and how to ensure you can participate in this year's election. Alexis also shares why YOUR advocacy matters as a military spouse, and how you can advocate for the issues that impact military families.

Welcome to the Milspouse Transformation Summer Series. Each week we focus on one area of our life that will help us truly live with more meaning and less overwhelm. The topics in this series are based on the 10 focus areas of the growth wheel, a free life assessment tool available in the Milspouse Transformation Guide.
This episode focuses on the last key area of our life, and a crucial part of living a fulfilling life as a military spouse – your purpose. For this conversation, I invited Brittany Boccher to the show. Brittany is the creator of the Discovering Your Spark program for military spouses, sponsored by the USO.
We talk about Brittany’s own journey to “flip the script,” what she learned from the military spouse community, how the Discovering Your Spark program came to be, and what’s possible when we choose to make the most of the life we have.
Better Together,
Christine

This summer we are working our way through the Milspouse Transformation Series, an entire series focused on small shifts you can make today as a military spouse, that can transform your life and lead to some really big results. The topics in this series are based on the 10 focus areas of the growth wheel, a free life assessment tool available in the Milspouse Transformation Guide.
Last week we focused on strengthening our marriage relationship. One of the statistics Dr. Lindsay shared was that after having kids, 95% of couples reported a decline in happiness. Because, as much as we love them, kids take a lot of focused time and attention.
That’s why this week’s episode is focused on your relationship with your kids. We discuss:
- Some of the added challenges of parenting military-connected kids
- How to set and hold boundaries
- How you as the parent can remain calm
- Ways to intentionally invest in your children
Better Together,
Christine

Welcome back to our Summer Milspouse Transformation Series, an entire series focused on small shifts you can make today as a military spouse, that can transform your life and lead to some really big results. Each week, we focus on one particular area of our life that will help us truly live a life that we're excited about, one with more meaning and less overwhelm.
This week we are focused on your relationship with your spouse or significant other. And for this conversation, I invited Dr. Lindsay Cavanaugh back onto the show. My first conversation with Dr. Lindsay is still one of the most downloaded episodes of the show. She is a military spouse, psychologist, marriage coach, and the host of the Married After Kids podcast. In other words, she absolutely gets how hard military marriage can be, and WHAT YOU CAN DO to create the marriage you want.
