Description

(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!

2026/08/20
In this final episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about what it looks like to be fully present in your life—even in a place that feels temporary, imperfect, or not what you hoped for. Because military life can make it easy to: Put your life on hold Wait for the “next” duty station Or just focus on getting through But your life isn’t something to put on pause. It’s worth living fully…right now.  If you've ever had the thought, “What’s the point if we’re just going to leave again?,” this episode is for you!

281. Starting Over (But Not From Scratch) // PCS Survival Series, Part 9
2026/08/13
The move is over. The boxes are unpacked. The house is (mostly) functional. You've officially arrived.  So why doesn’t it feel like home yet? In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about starting over in a new place... and why this part of the process often feels harder than expected. Because settling in is about more than just getting things unpacked. It’s about rebuilding your routines, finding your places and people, and creating a life that feels like yours again.  In this episode, we talk about: Why it takes longer than you think to feel settled What’s actually happening in the “in-between” after a move How to lower the pressure to have everything figured out Why routines and familiarity matter more than you realize And why you’re not starting over from scratch Better Together, Christine Resources Start here: Free Clarity Workshop Stay connected: Join The Free Community The real-time version of navigating life as a milspouse: Instagram Work with me 1:1: Let’s Work Together Support the show: If this episode meant something to you, leaving a review helps more military spouses find it 🤍 Leave a Show Review, Pretty Please!
280. Will You Be My Emergency Contact? // PCS Survival Series, Part 8
2026/08/06
You’ve made the move. Now what?  Now comes the emotional reality of... 👉 not having your people. Not having someone to call. Not having a go-to friend. Not knowing who to put down as your emergency contact.  And even though everything might start to look “settled” on the outside… this is often the part that feels the most vulnerable. Plus, you might still be grieving what you left. In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to build community in a new place.

278. Protecting Your Mental Health During Military Moves // PCS Survival Series, Part 6
2026/07/23
PCSing isn’t just physically exhausting…it’s emotionally and mentally demanding, too. And while most advice focuses on packing, timelines, and logistics…this episode focuses on something just as important. 👉 How you take care of yourself during the move. In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about what it really looks like to move without burning out—and why your mental and emotional health matters more than any checklist. In this episode, we talk about: Why burnout happens during a PCS How stress impacts your body (even if you don’t realize it) The importance of protecting your mental and emotional health Why “pushing through” often makes things worse And how small daily habits can make a big difference Better Together, Christine   Mentioned in this Episode Milspouse Summer Reset Series Episode 241: Permission to Pause Episode 242: Milspouse Mental Health Episode 243: Fueling Your Body Episode 244: The Link Between Spiritual Health and Mental Health Episode 261 – Sustainable Self-Care for Burned-Out Military Spouses Headspace App - Free Subscription Resources Start here: Free Clarity Workshop Stay connected: Join The Free Community The real-time version of navigating life as a milspouse: Instagram Work with me 1:1: Let’s Work Together Support the show: If this episode meant something to you, leaving a review helps more military spouses find it 🤍 Leave a Show Review, Pretty Please!
277. PCSing with Kids: Supporting Your Kids Through Military Moves // PCS Survival Series, Part 5
2026/07/16
One of the questions I get asked the most is: “How are your kids handling the moves?” It’s not easy on them. Leaving friends. Starting over. Adjusting to new environments again and again.  In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about what it really looks like to support your kids through a move—at every age and stage. In this episode, we talk about: How kids experience PCS differently depending on age What it looks like to involve your kids in the process How to prepare them for what’s coming Why resilience doesn’t mean they don’t need support And how to create space for their emotions Better Together, Christine Mentioned In This Episode Episode 166: Need a Little Reassurance that Military Life Won’t Scar Your Kids for Life?

276. The Game Plan: Moving Week (What to Expect) // PCS Survival Series, Part 4
2026/07/09
The days before a PCS move? To me, that’s the part that often feels the most overwhelming. You’re making decisions. Prepping everything. Prepacking. Trying not to forget something important. But once the packers show up… Things actually start to slow down. At that point, you’ve already done the hardest part—you’ve made the decisions. Now it’s just about letting the process play out. In this episode, I’m walking through what moving week really looks like—and how to prepare in a way that makes it feel a little more manageable. In this episode, we talk about: What to do before the packers arrive How to create a “do not pack” system that actually works What to expect during pack-out days And why things start to feel different during the process Better Together, Christine Resources Start here: Free Clarity Workshop Stay connected: Join The Free Community The real-time version of navigating life as a milspouse: Instagram Work with me 1:1: Let’s Work Together Support the show: If this episode meant something to you, leaving a review helps more military spouses find it 🤍 Leave a Show Review, Pretty Please!
275. Your PCS Game Plan: Before the Movers Arrive // PCS Survival Series, Part 3
2026/06/25
Raise your hand if you've ever searched for the “perfect PCS checklist”...only to figure out the checklist was impossible to follow.  Because in real life... Orders come late. Timelines shift. And many moves don’t follow a neat, predictable plan.  In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re getting into the logistics...but in a way that actually works for real military life. This isn’t about having a perfect plan.  It’s about knowing what you can do now to make your move feel more manageable later. In this episode, we talk about: What you can do before you have orders How to prepare financially for a PCS How to start simplifying your home before a move What to focus on once you do have orders And how to create a flexible plan that actually works Better Together, Christine Resources Start here: Free Clarity Workshop Stay connected: Join The Free Community The real-time version of navigating life as a milspouse: Instagram Work with me 1:1: Let’s Work Together Support the show: If this episode meant something to you, leaving a review helps more military spouses find it 🤍 Leave a Show Review, Pretty Please!
274. PCS Plot Twists: When Your Military Move Doesn’t Go as Planned // PCS Survival Series, Part 2
2026/06/11
If you’ve been through a PCS before, you probably already know this: Things don’t always go according to plan. Assignments change. Timelines shift. And sometimes, the version of the move you were preparing for… isn’t the one that actually happens.  In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about PCS plot twists (and why your mindset matters more than you think). Because while you can find a checklist anywhere…what’s harder to navigate is what happens when those plans fall apart. In this episode, we talk about: The emotional impact of unexpected shifts Why focusing only on logistics makes the process harder The role your mindset plays in shaping your experience And how to move forward when things don’t go the way you hoped Better Together, Christine Resources Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?

273. Preparing to PCS? Let's Talk About The Waiting Game // PCS Survival Series, Part 1
2026/06/04
PCSing isn’t just about moving boxes or checking off a to-do list.  It’s about navigating uncertainty, waiting on timelines, and learning how to move forward when you don’t have all the answers yet.  In this first episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re starting at the very beginning: The Waiting Game. That space between knowing a move is coming… and actually having orders in hand. It’s the part where: • You can’t fully plan • You don’t have clear timelines • And everything feels a little up in the air For many military spouses, it’s one of the most mentally and emotionally exhausting parts of the entire process. In this episode, we talk about: • Why uncertainty feels so difficult during a PCS • The mindset shift from control → acceptance • How to make plans (without holding too tightly to them) • Letting go of perfection, especially when it comes to your home and belongings • Why your nervous system needs support during transition seasons • And how to stay grounded when nothing feels certain If you’re in the middle of a PCS (or know one is coming), this episode is for you.

272. Holding On and Letting Go Through Military Life Transitions with Lindsay Swoboda
2026/05/21
How do you hold on… while also learning to let go? In this episode, I sit down with author and military spouse Lindsay Swoboda to talk about the ongoing reality of navigating change throughout military life. From early marriage and career pivots to overseas moves, motherhood, and eventually military retirement, Lindsay shares what it’s been like to continually reinvent herself while holding on to the parts of herself that matter most. In this conversation, we talk about: The cycle of reinvention as a military spouse Letting go of expectations while still holding onto purpose The emotional tension of grief and gratitude that exists at the same time What surrender really looks like in seasons you didn’t choose Why comparison makes transition seasons even harder How to move at your own pace—even when life feels uncertain Lindsay also shares the story behind her book, Holding On and Letting Go: A Life in Motion, and how writing became a way to process the often contradictory experience of military life. Military life doesn’t just ask you to let go once. It asks you to do it again and again, while still holding onto who you are becoming.

271. Mandatory Fun? Why Military Spouses Actually Need More Play (Yes, Really)
2026/05/14
When was the last time you had fun—real, just-for-the-sake-of-it fun? Not multitasking. Not being productive. Not checking something off your list. Just fun. In military life, it’s easy to prioritize responsibilities, schedules, and everything that needs to get done. And somewhere along the way, play becomes something we push to the bottom of the list. But what if fun isn’t optional? In this episode, we’re talking about why play and creativity are essential—not just for enjoyment, but for your mental health, energy, and ability to show up in your life.

270. Always Saying Yes to Everyone Else? It Might Be Time to Start Choosing Yourself with Shari Biery
2026/05/07
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself in military life, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Shari Biery, a national board-certified health and wellness coach, author of It’s Your Turn, and longtime military spouse, to talk about something so many of us experience but rarely say out loud: 👉 What happens when you’ve spent years putting yourself last? After two decades of military life, multiple PCS moves, career disruptions, and raising a family, Shari reached a breaking point—burnout, exhaustion, and the realization that she had been waiting for permission to take care of herself. In this conversation, we talk about: Navigating military spouse identity loss The hidden toll of constant moving and career disruption Why so many military spouses feel guilt around self-care How burnout shows up physically, emotionally, and mentally The mindset shift from “I should” → “I get to” What it actually looks like to start choosing yourself again Better Together, Christine Mentioned in this Episode Connect With Shari: Website: ShariBiery.com Book: It’s Your Turn Quiz: What Is Your Spark Type?
