The Go-To Podcast for Military Spouses Who Want to Find Purpose and Reclaim Their Life and Dreams!
Ever find yourself wanting to chase a dream, pursue a goal, or finally start that business, but you’re just not sure how to actually make it happen as a military spouse? You feel stuck and maybe more than a little bit frustrated with military life.
The MilSpouse Mastermind Show 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.
👋 Hey, I’m Christine, seasoned military wife and mom of three, marketing strategist, milspouse mindset coach, podcast host, 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.
In this podcast, we dig into all things military spouse life, from the mindset and clarity 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 as you make progress towards your biggest goals and dreams.
Through honest conversations and expert interviews, I’ll help you set goals, combat stress and anxiety, prioritize 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).
If there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s this: You Are More Than a MilSpouse!
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!

197. How to Live an Embodied Life of Joy as a Military Spouse with Aj Smit
Is it possible to live full of joy as a military spouse? If so, how do we do it? And does it look the same for each person?
Those are the questions we unpack in this week’s episode. I chat with The Joy Weaver, Aj Smit. As a fellow military spouse, she absolutely understands this lifestyle. In this conversation, we discuss what it means to live an embodied life, to tap into joy, and the importance of regulating your nervous system. Plus, you’ll get to listen in as she coaches me through her process to help me tap into embodied joy in my life. If you are struggling to walk in joy in your current season of life, don’t miss this episode.
Better Together,
Christine

196. How to Be Happier Regardless of Where You Live
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been chatting about moving. Partly this is because I’m gearing up for my own PCS in a couple of months, and partly it’s because a lot of families move during the summer, whether to the other side of the world, or just across town.
Today, we’re rounding out this series by talking about what we can do to be happier, regardless of where we live. This conversation was inspired by a statistic I read that blew my mind. I can’t wait to share what the statistic was, and what it means for you as a military spouse.
Better Together,
Christine

195. Dear Christine: 🚚"I Can't Deal with The Change of Moving"
We’re continuing our series all about moving with the military, and talking about our mindset. Specifically, we’re looking at the statement, “I can’t deal with the change of moving.”
I get it. I’m preparing for our third overseas move (OCONUS PCS) in four years. It’s not always fun. But let’s talk about what we can do when we’re not excited about what’s ahead.
Better Together,
Christine

194. Another Move, God?? From Surviving to Thriving as a Military Spouse with Beth Runkle
Sometimes military life is a lot. It can be easy to become resentful of this lifestyle. Today’s guest knows that feeling all too well. Beth Runkle’s journey brought her from bitter and reluctant military spouse to fully embracing the lifestyle and making the most of it. In this conversation, we talk about dealing with loneliness, feelings of frustration over career challenges, infertility, the pain of a failed adoption, and the struggle of an unhealthy marriage.
More importantly, we discuss how her life was transformed, and how she moved from a place of resentment and surviving to truly thriving. We unpack how she traded her loneliness for authentic friendships, how her marriage was dramatically transformed, and how she found purpose and meaning along the way. I hope this episode is an encouragement to you on your journey!
Better Together,
Christine

193. Checklists, Binders, & Labels, Oh My! The #1 PCS Tip That No One Is Talking About
If you’ve never done a military move before, it can feel overwhelming. And if you’ve PCSed a dozen times, it can still feel overwhelming.
Thankfully there is a lot of helpful information out there about how to prepare for your move, how to budget for a PCS (permanent change of station), how to put together a PCS binder, and what checklists you need to follow. There are even resources to help you whether to use the provided moving company or do it yourself. But there’s one crucial tip that not enough people are talking about. And that’s what we’re diving into today.
Better Together,
Christine

As a military spouse, it can sometimes feel like you're a supporting character in someone else's story. Today's episode is all about flipping that script on its head.
I sit down with ghostwriter Steven Leaply, a Navy veteran, to talk about why YOUR story as a military spouse matters, three reasons why you should share your story, and how to get started. If you're ready to trade the mundane of everyday life for a life of meaning (without ever changing your circumstances)...then keep listening!

Customer Reviews
Great podcast for military spouses!
This is a great resource for all the military spouses out there. Tons of interesting and different topics that we encounter along our journey with the military lifestyle. Thanks for making this.
The go-to guide for milspouses!
I highly recommend this podcast to all military spouses! Christine (a military wife herself) understands exactly where you are and has episodes on ALLL the things they never told you about surviving and thriving as the spouse of a service member. Most importantly, this podcast addresses many of the emotional aspects of living a fulfilling life as a military spouse that are often overlooked. You won’t regret letting Christine be your personal military spouse life coach through these podcast episodes!
Encouragement to be more than a title
I love the message in this podcast that I am not stuck in one role. I can grow, change, and develop as a person. Each episode has hope, encouragement, motivation, and practical tips for change. Thank you so much, Christine, for helping us see that we are more than our title.
