(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!

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!

Christine

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

Stress is inevitable. It’s part of being human. But that doesn’t mean we have to let stress run rampant and ruin our lives. Managing stress is important because when we don’t, stress can negatively impact all areas of our lives – our emotional and mental health, our physical health and yes, even our relationships.
The closer we get to Christmas, the more stress many of us will feel. So let’s talk about 7 ways you can productively deal with your stress, find balance, and develop resilience as a military spouse.
Can’t wait to have this conversation with you!

Changing the world isn’t for the gifted few. It’s for all of us. And it begins with small acts of kindness.
This is the story of Giving Tuesday Military. The story of how four military spouses dreamed of finding a way for all of us to come together and give back. And the story of how small acts of kindness matter.
This week I sit down with Brittany Raines, Director of Community Engagement for the Inspire Up Foundation and Giving Tuesday Military Liaison, to talk about Giving Tuesday Military. We chat about how it came to be and how each of us has the ability and opportunity to make an impact right where we’re at.
I hope this conversation encourages and inspires you. Because we are better together, and together we can change the world!

As a military family, you may not have a say in whether you spend the holidays with extended family or if you even get to spend it with your active duty loved one.
But what if you could end the year enjoying time with your family, being present and not feeling completely overwhelmed? What if you could reclaim the childhood magic of the season?
What if you could have the best holiday season available to you??
In today’s episode, we’re discussing how to stop letting your Christmas to-do list stress you out. Whether you are celebrating far from “home” or you plan to travel to see family, you can start taking action today to avoid the holiday exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout.
My hope for you is that you end this year ready to leap into 2022 rather than limping to the end of the year.
Let’s talk about how to make that happen!
XO,
Christine

Hey friend,
We are launching into what is the busiest and most overwhelming time of year for so many of us. Over the next few weeks, I want to give you some practical tools and tips to help you navigate this time of year. My goal is that you don’t end up in this place of overwhelm, exhaustion and burnout.
Now, more than ever, it’s important to set boundaries for your time and schedule. So let’s talk about WHO determines what goes on our plate, HOW to set and enforce boundaries, and HOW to develop a decision-making framework for your life as a military spouse in a season of “should-dos” and “must-dos.”
If you are looking for a life of growth, fulfillment, and impact, this one is a MUST-LISTEN.
XO,
Christine

What does it take to bring a dream to life? What do you do when obstacles get in your way? What if your spouse goes TDY or gets deployed? Is it really possible to chase your dreams as a military spouse?
I know how challenging it can be to bring a dream to life. I know how much being a military spouse can complicate this journey even more.
That’s why I decided to pull back the curtain and share my secrets. What did the process of bringing MilSpouse Purpose Playbook to life look like in my own life? Was it easy? Was it worth it? What were my biggest struggles?
I’m sharing the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, in hopes that it inspires you to step into your story and to start bringing your dreams to life!

I often hear the question, “How do I find time for myself?” This is particularly relevant for moms with young kids, because it’s so hard to find time away when you have littles at home.
We see influencers on social media talking about “self care” and about the importance of “taking care of you” and “finding time for yourself.” The assumption is that if we only had time for ourselves, our lives would be better by default.
What if that just isn’t true? In this quick tip Thursday, I unpack why more time doesn’t necessarily equal better self care and how you actually can practice self care as a military spouse with young kids (even if your active duty member is deployed).
