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
