(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!

In most places in the United States, the school year has ended. Whether or not you have school-aged kiddos, the end of the school year often signals a change to our rhythms and routines. Activities end. New ones begin. The sun stays up later. We move. Or go on a trip. Or just enjoy the change of pace.
But let me ask, what do you want out of this summer?
Because what you get out of this summer is up to you. And with a little intentionality, you can have a summer that moves you closer to your goals and dreams. (Yep, even in the middle of a crazy PCS).
Maybe what you’re after this summer is just the chance to rest. Or maybe you want to invest in your kids a little more. Perhaps you want to finally launch that business. Or find a way to be present with your kids, while still working from home.
If you want to be intentional and productive with your summer, then you need to carve out time for one thing…a morning routine.
In this episode we discuss why this routine is so important, and ways to structure it to give you the desired outcome you are after. A morning routine does not have to be rigid, but carving out time for this routine might be the difference-maker between a summer of joy and a summer of exhaustion.
Better Together,
Christine

Have you ever not taken action on sometime because it felt overwhelming and no one was pushing you to step outside your comfort zone? You’re not alone.
At the end of January, I was nominated for the Armed Forces Insurance 2023 Military Spouse of the Year award. Thanks to your support, I was invited to attend the AFI Military Spouse of the Year Town Hall in Washington DC in May.
When I got back from the trip, I started reflected on my experience and decided to record an episode for you. So today’s episode is all about my biggest takeaways from the event, what keeps us playing small, and what we need to move forward.
As you listen to this episode, my hope is that you will take some time to reflect on where you are today, and how I can support you as you take your next step on your journey to living with purpose.
Better Together,
Christine

My life might not look all that different from yours. I’m juggling motherhood with three kids, military life, frequent moves, volunteer opportunities, and working from home. So how do I do it all?
Or perhaps the better question is, what tips and insights do I have to help you navigate your journey?
This episode is an honest conversation about expectations, what’s really possible, and three things that have helped me live with more meaning and less overwhelm as a military wife and work from home mom.
I hope this episode inspires you!
Better Together,
Christine

What happens when PTSD comes home?
Today’s conversation is with Lissa Figgens, a veteran army ranger spouse and now a mom to an active duty service member. Lissa is a Time Management Coach and has built a business around helping women who feel pulled in all directions. But she reached out to us, because her heart is for military spouses. She asked if she could share her story about living with someone who struggled and sometimes still struggles with the effects of PTSD.
She shares about:
- Not knowing that she was ever going to become a military wife
- Not knowing where to go to get the resources
- What she learned about
- Four keys to helping a loved one who is dealing with mental health challenges
- And what she and her husband are now doing to shine a light on mental wellness and suicide prevention
Lissa never thought mental health was going to impact her family. She thought she was gaining knowledge that she would eventually be able to use to help someone else, but it was her friends who ultimately supported her and helped her get the resources and tools she and her husband needed.
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, we encourage you to seek professional help and remember that you are not alone.
Better Together,
Christine
