(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 a bonus episode of the MilSpouse Mastermind Show!
Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day. While this day occurs every year, this year feels even more important.
We’ve all been through a lot in the last year. More stress, more anxiety, more isolation, more uncertainty, more confusion, more loneliness. And so today we just take time to acknowledge all that you, as military spouses, have sacrificed and the contributions you make to the military family unit. We take a moment to reflect on the past and offer hope for a brighter tomorrow.
My hope is that this message both resonates with you and refreshes your soul. Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day to all my fellow military spouses!

You, my friend, were made for more. And yet so often we aren’t sure what “more” actually means. We feel like something is lacking, like we need a purpose outside of life as a military wife and mom.
But how do we figure out what that is? And how do we pursue our own thing when we’re trying to hold down the home front, take care of the kiddos and manage the unpredictability of military life?
Is it really possible to pursue a life of purpose, joy and impact TODAY (without adding to the stress and anxiety we already feel)?
Today, we’re beginning a three-part series all about finding life purpose as a military spouse. We’ll cover what a life purpose or calling is (and is not), how we move toward it regardless of our circumstances, and how the heck we figure out what our "thing" actually is.
If you’ve felt stuck in your role as a military spouse or in an unfulfilling job, and you dream of life being different, this is the series for you.
It’s time to shine a light on how we can practically pursue purpose as military spouses!

Trying to navigate a career as a military spouse is tough! But having your own thing is possible! In today’s episode, we chat with Mary Elaine Baker, a military spouse veteran who chose to leave her teaching career for a better work-life balance. She became a virtual assistant and eventually created VAUSA, a company that connects military spouses with virtual job opportunities.
We talk about her journey from brand new military wife and mom to now living a life that allows her time freedom and flexibility, while pursuing a mission that she is passionate about. Mary Elaine shares about the joys and challenges of starting your own business as a military spouse and what it looks like to pursue a dream, while still navigating military life and dealing with frequent deployments. We talk about work-life balance as a military spouse, finding your own identity, communicating with your active duty military member, the importance of knowing your why, work from home jobs for military spouses, and the skills you need to become the person you want to be.
You’ll walk away from this episode feeling both encouraged and inspired to chase your own dreams and find something that you can take with you wherever you go!

Have you ever blamed your lack of satisfaction with life on your circumstances? I think we could all answer with a resounding YES!
Tough love alert: It’s much easier to talk about how we’re unhappy with the way things are and much more difficult to actually go about building a life we love when OUR CIRCUMSTANCES DON’T CHANGE.
Too often we equate having a life we love with having the right home, living in the right location, having the right job, etc.
Today we’re taking an honest look at the question, “What do you do when the life you’re living doesn’t look like the life you want?”
I’m giving you a seven-part framework that you can use to pursue a life of greater joy, purpose and impact TODAY.
A life that lights you up and brings life to those around you. A life that leads you closer to who you were meant to be.
A life you truly love.
If you’re ready to live an authentic life that aligns more of WHAT you do with WHO you are, then listen in!

Today we’re talking all things MENTORSHIP. We know that people that have mentors are more likely grow and develop skills more quickly, achieve more, and, in turn, mentor others.
But what if you don’t have a mentor? What if no one is intentionally pouring into you? Should you go in search of one? How does one actually find one?
Let’s learn how you can get the benefits of mentorship EVEN IF you feel like no one is actually giving you guidance!
I’ll show you how to create your own ACCIDENTAL APPRENTICESHIP!

Some people dream of becoming a stay-at-home mom. I did not. And yet, after three babies and four moves in four years, that's exactly where I found myself.
Today we're answering the question, "What do we do when the life we end up living doesn't look like the life we had planned?"
So many of us have found ourselves in a season or situation that we didn't look for or want. But what we do in response to that situation matters. And sometimes that's easier said than done.
My hope is that through my story, you will begin to see that we ALL have the power to turn our lives into significant stories when we begin to see our difficulties as opportunities.
So let's have some honest talk about how life as a military spouse and mom can be challenging, and how we can get ourselves out of a story we didn't want and start writing a better one!

On January 1, most of us were more than ready to say good riddance to 2020! We had great intentions for a new year full of new possibilities. You may have made some really great resolutions or set an intention for a word of the year.
But it’s now time for a check in. How are you doing at pursuing those goals? Have you already given up?
Let’s take a moment to reflect on how we’re doing at moving toward our goals, what we need to do differently, and how we can make changes that actually stick!
