Welcome back to the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — where we’re taking intentional steps to reset your life one focus area at a time using the Clarity Compass, our free self-assessment tool designed for military spouses.

This week, we’re diving into one of the most important — and often most challenging — areas of military life: friendships. Making friends as a military spouse isn’t always easy, especially when you’re constantly moving, solo parenting, or just plain exhausted. But authentic community matters, and it is possible.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by military missionary, author, and community builder Megan B. Brown. Megan shares her personal story of learning to drop the mask, embrace her true self, and build deep, meaningful connections — even in a lifestyle that often feels isolating.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why authentic friendships are built, not found
• How masking and perfectionism can get in the way of real connection
• What to look for when building a community that actually supports you

We dive into:

• Simple, effective ways to keep communication open and honest with your kids

Welcome back to the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — a special collection of episodes designed to help you make small, intentional shifts that lead to big transformation. Each week, we’re digging into one of the 10 key focus areas from the Clarity Compass, a free life assessment tool available inside the Milspouse Transformation Guide.

This week, we’re talking about a vital, but often strained, part of military life: your relationship with your spouse or significant other.

To help us navigate this conversation, I’m thrilled to welcome back Dr. Lindsay Cavanagh — military spouse, psychologist, marriage coach, and host of the Married After Kids podcast. Our first conversation remains one of the most downloaded episodes of the show, and for good reason. Dr. Lindsay gets it — the deployments, the stress, the missed moments — and she brings both compassion and clarity to the realities of military marriage.

Together, we’re diving into how to keep your relationship strong, connected, and life-giving, even when military life makes it anything but easy.

Better Together,

Christine

Welcome back to the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — where we’re diving into small, strategic shifts that help military spouses trade overwhelm for meaning and create a life that truly excites them.

Each week, we’re exploring one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass, a free life assessment tool included in the Milspouse Transformation Guide. These conversations are designed to help you reset your rhythm and realign with what matters most, while navigating the uncertainty of military life.

But this episode? It’s a little different.

I’m currently moving into my eighth home in ten years. So this week’s topic hits close to home – literally. We’re exploring what it means to create a sense of home in the middle of so much movement, transition, and uncertainty.

Because it’s not just about the walls around us — it’s about how we feel inside them.

Whether you're unpacking in a new duty station or wrestling with feeling unsettled in your current space, this episode invites you to reflect on what home truly means to you, and how to cultivate it no matter where the military sends you next.

Better Together,

Christine

Welcome back to the Milspouse Summer Reset Series, where we’re exploring small, powerful shifts military spouses can make to live with more meaning and less overwhelm.

Each week, we’re unpacking one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass — a free life assessment tool inside the Milspouse Transformation Guide. These conversations are designed to help you reset, refocus, and create a life that truly excites you.

This week, we’re diving into an area of wellness we don’t talk about nearly enough: spiritual health.

While we may not always have clear language around it, research continues to show that our spiritual well-being deeply influences our mental, emotional, and even physical health.

That’s why I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Sharita Knobloch, military spouse, researcher, and faith leader, to the show. Together, we explore the intersection of religion, spirituality, and military spouse mental health, and why nurturing your inner life is just as important as caring for your body or mind.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why spiritual health is often overlooked but deeply impactful
• How faith and spirituality support mental and emotional resilience
• What Dr. Sharita’s research reveals about the role of spiritual practices in milspouse well-being
• Practical ways to nurture your spiritual life, wherever you are in your journey

This summer, we're hitting reset together with the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — a special collection of episodes designed to help you make small but powerful shifts that can lead to major transformation in your life.

Each week, we're diving into one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass, a free life assessment tool and your go-to resource for creating a more fulfilling, purpose-fueled life.

In this episode, we’re starting with the foundation: rest.

I’m joined by military spouse, entrepreneur, author, and mom of three, Chrissie Kenaston, for a real and refreshing conversation about what rest actually looks like in the middle of military life, motherhood, and everything in between.

We’re unpacking what it means to build a life of more meaning and less overwhelm — not by doing more, but by giving yourself permission to pause.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, like you’re always “on,” or stuck in hustle mode, this episode will remind you that rest isn’t just allowed — it’s essential.

Better Together,

Christine
