On this episode, I'm discussing the issues that spring up with deployment and reintegration with guest Terri Laurent, a seasoned military spouse who’s sharing a ton of wisdom.

This episode is a "best of" from waaaay back on Episode 34. 

Have you dealt with the emotional build up leading up to deployment? Have you wondered why the service member’s homecoming isn’t like what you see on TV or the movies? Maybe you’re struggling, and you think you’re the only one.

We talk about preparing your heart and marriage for deployment and reintegration, that time period after the service member returns home from a long separation/deployment. 

This is part two of our talk–listen to part one on Episode 31, all about mentoring.
