(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!

Welcome to the Milspouse Transformation Summer Series. 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. 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 week’s episode is about managing our finances, both what we can do to stretch our dollars today, and what we can do to set ourselves and our families up for long-term success. This week’s guest is Jerry Quinn, who served for over three decades in the military and now serves as the chief operating officer at the American Armed Forces Mutual Aid Association.
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.

This topic is near and dear to my heart, as someone who has lived in seven homes in ten years. This episode is going to be a little bit different from every other episode in the series. I’ll tell you why inside today's episode…

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.
There’s one aspect of our health and well-being that we haven’t talked as much about on the podcast. This is perhaps because we don’t always have great language for it. However, research indicates that it deeply impacts our mental and emotional well-being. So today we’re diving into our spiritual health.
I sit down with Dr. Sharita Knobloch (also a milspouse) to discuss her research on religion, spirituality, and military spouse mental health. I can’t wait to share this conversation with you!

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.
Today we are talking specifically about nutrition and how to be healthy on a budget. Fueling our bodies is important, but trying to figure out how to eat well is can sometimes feel overwhelming.
That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to today's guest, Heather Campbell. She is a family nutrition expert, researcher, and military spouse advocate. Together we unpack ways to prioritize your health and nutrition in a lifestyle full of uncertainty, change, and transition. We talk about making healthy choices during a stressful PCS, how to encourage healthy eating for the whole family (even those picky eaters), and ways to save money at your local grocery store or commissary.
Better Together,
Christine

Today’s conversation is with Evie King, the 2023 AFI Military Spouse of the Year, and the Executive Director of In-Dependent, a wellness community built by military spouses for military spouses. We discuss why having specific wellness resources for military spouses matters, and how we can invest in our mental and emotional well-being.

This week we are unpacking the foundation for creating a fulfilling life as a military spouse: A life built on a foundation of rest and play, rather than hustle and grind. This is about how we build a life with MORE MEANING and LESS OVERWHELM.
I sit down with Chrissie Kenaston, military spouse, entrepreneur, author, and mom of three to talk about what rest actually looks like as a busy military spouse. Can’t wait to share this conversation with you!

Welcome to More Than A Milspouse, (formerly The Milspouse Mastermind Show), the podcast for military spouses who want to live with MORE meaning and LESS overwhelm.
I am launching a brand-new series for summer, entitled MilSpouse Transformation series. Because it can be hard to think about personal and professional growth, when we’re just trying to make it through a PCS, a deployment, or even through an average day.
But a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and ultimately creating a life you love is possible as a military spouse. And this summer, we’re going to talk about how tiny tweaks and small shifts can lead to some major results.
This is not about having more time or bandwidth in your schedule, it’s about working with what you have, where you are, to create a life you’re excited about.
This episode we’re kicking off the series and talking about my favorite tool for self-discovery, setting goals, and life transformation as a military spouse. Can’t wait to unpack this with you!
Better Together,
Christine
