On this episode of Mining Minds, we sit down with Clorinda and Shawn Cosper to talk about the unique and often challenging life of a traveling miner's wife. Clorinda opens up about her journey, from growing up in a small town and planting roots to give her children stability, to meeting Shawn, and navigating the traveling miner’s life.

As we dive into their story, Clorinda shares the ups and downs of supporting a lifestyle that requires constant travel, the struggles of managing multiple W-2’s, and setting clear expectations for their family’s success. We also explore what it looks like to raise children in a home with a traveling miner, including the emotional toll on both parents and the importance of asking for help when needed.

Now both actively involved in their community and the VFW, Clorinda and Shawn offer valuable advice for couples in similar situations, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, communication, and community support to make it all work. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about resilience, love, and balancing family life on the move. Join the conversation and help us welcome Clorinda and Shawn Cosper to the FACE!
