How Military Life Prepared Me to Handle Everything
A military spouse shares lessons learned from deployments, overseas moves, and raising kids alone
Some people look at the stressful lives of military spouses and say, "I couldn't do that." But there is nothing unique about military spouses that equips them for challenging situations. The truth is that we are strengthened and sharpened one stressful event at a time. After going through my husband's seven deployments (five which were combat), six PCS moves, giving birth alone, living overseas, and raising five children as a solo parent, I've been tested more than most. I'll share my lessons learned so listeners don't have to go through the same challenges.
In this session, attendees will learn:
- How to view life in seasons to adapt better to difficulties
- Why "just keep busy" is not the best advice for someone facing a challenge
- How to strengthen your marriage when your communication options are limited
- The value in streamlining your routines and schedule when you are stressed
- Ways to encourage yourself when you're doing difficult things

Building Resiliency as Military Spouses
How to Strengthen our Milspouse Community to Prepare for Inevitable Challenges
Military life is difficult--whether you are a new spouse or a more "seasoned spouse." Sometimes, there is time to prepare for major changes like a PCS move or deployment. Other times, the military surprises us with unexpected stress. In an age where many military families live far from relatives and rely on virtual groups for support, it is essential for spouses to know how to make meaningful connections that will carry them through difficult times. And we all must build resiliency skills to cope with military life.
In this session, attendees will learn:
- Why you need to build your support network BEFORE it is needed
- Resources available for milspouse support on and off military bases
- How to make connections when you're new to a base
- Different types of people to lean on in challenging times
- Small things to focus on when military life feels overwhelming
- What self-care is, and practical examples for busy parents
- Taking the next step forward when you're in a difficult season
- Personal examples of the challenges I overcame throughout military life
