Manage episode 498499084 series 3662673
In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, I sit down with Jen and Kirsten—co-founders of Wives of the Armed Forces(WAFs) and powerhouse military spouses—to talk about the highs, lows, and pivots of military life. From awkward first friend dates to navigating PCS, deployments, and major life transitions, we dig into what it really takes to find your people and stay grounded when everything around you is changing.
Whether you're new to military life, preparing for transition, or craving a deeper sense of connection and purpose, Jen and Kirst share invaluable lessons on friendship, flexibility, and how WAFs was born—on a couch, during a move, in the middle of military chaos (naturally).
Topics We Cover:
- Creating authentic friendships in the military community
- Redefining transitions: PCS vs PCA
- The emotional toll of military isolation
- How to build a support system from scratch
- Why WAFs is changing the conversation for modern military spouses
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating military life—or supporting someone who is. Prepare to laugh, nod along, and maybe even tear up.
🎧 Tune in, share with a fellow spouse, and don’t forget: never say never.
