Fast Facts: Our podcast is carrying on the legacy of Army Wife Talk Radio as the longest-running podcast of its kind. 2023 marks its 13th year on the air, and we will broadcast our 1000th episode as well!
The Command Team creates TWO podcasts per week, one full-length edition on Mondays with a featured guest, then a shorter variety (Mini-Cast) on Thursdays sharing their personal experiences. Tune in on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon, or even on our website.
Have you ever been told to just be positive? Optimism can deny negative emotions which simply isn’t the reality. Cling to hope and live in reality. Hope is what keeps us going, what motivates us to make it through a tough situation.
Deployment prep, is there such a thing? There are certainly things that you can do to be more prepared for your spouse to deploy and that is what Annie covers in this week’s MEM. Annie provides 5 steps to help you be better prepared. She also warns that things probably won’t go according to plan – so just expect that.
How much is too much? Soldiers often come home from a deployment and want to go back. They give so much of themselves to a country and may not know when to say “I’ve given enough”. This is a major theme in the book Beyond Sacrifice.
Don’t you love the imperfect hero – the character where you can see bits of yourself in them? Alicia Dill enjoys writing characters that are both protagonists and antagonist. Because in reality – we are all a bit of both.
Today’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment is about something that still feels taboo to talk about, but shouldn’t be. Amber gives us some tips on how to navigate grief. She shares her personal journey and lessons she has learned.
Do you ever feel like a supporting character in this milspouse life? One of the many life lessons contained in the book, The Astronaut’s Wife, is that you are essential to the mission’s success. Embrace the fact that you are not a side story and jump in with both feet.
First things first – stop trying to do it all by yourself. You have to build your community and that means putting yourself out there and being vulnerable. Find people who you can be your authentic self around. What you are doing is important, even if you don’t get paid for it or society minimizes it.
You are worth celebrating. For this week’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment, Sharita reminds milspouses everywhere about the importance of milspouse celebrations. As milspouses, we are really good at celebrating our soldiers, but don’t forget to celebrate yourself or other milspouses. Sharita gives us tips on how to do this.
