(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!

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.
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…
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. 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

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.
It’s the time of year, often known in military circles as PCS season. Yes, military families PCS throughout the year. But summer is a popular time for a permanent change of station (PCS), especially if you have school-aged kids.
I’ve lived in seven houses in the last 10 years, and am currently navigating my third OCONUS PCS (overseas move) in four years. One might think that I should be an expert on moving by now, but I’m not. And in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain to talk about why this PCS has challenged me in brand new ways (and yes, I’ve already cried). Want to hear all the juicy details? Then grab a cup of coffee and come join me for story time.
Better Together,
Christine

I’ve been a military spouse for almost 15 years. And in that time, I’ve seen a lot of evolution in what it means to be a military spouse, what opportunities are available for military spouses, and how military spouses are viewed. In some ways, the change has been really good. And in some ways, the change is not all for the better.
But my experience as a military spouse is just a drop in the bucket compared to the history of what it means to be a military spouse in the last 100 years.
Today’s conversation is definitely one you don’t want to miss! I sit down with Corie Weathers to discuss her new book, Military Culture Shift: The Impact of War, Money, and Generational Perspective on Morale, Retention and Leadership.
We discuss how military culture has shifted over the decades, what that means for military spouses, and what you and I can do to continue to shift the culture in a positive direction for the future.
Better Together,
Christine

Welcome to the newly renamed More Than a Milspouse Podcast and the Unlocking Identity Series. This week I’m releasing daily bite-sized episodes to help you answer the question, "Who am I, really?"
On day one, we discussed why so many military spouses struggle with identity and purpose, and how that struggle impacts our health and well-being. On day two, we discussed three actions you can take begin the journey to unlock your true identity. On day three, we unpacked the three elements of purpose, and explored how to figure out what matters most to you. And on day four, we talked about the #1 question to ask on the quest to unlock your identity.
Today, we’re going to tie a bow on unlocking identity and talk about how we truly figure out who we are, what we want, and what our purpose is, so that we can ultimately trade our frustration with life for fulfillment as a military spouse, which is what this podcast and community exists to do.
Better Together,
Christine
