You Are Not Alone: Encouragement for the Heart of a Military Spouse - the book

On this episode, we’re talking about how to cope when you hate where you’re stationed with the military. 

First, I answer a couple of your questions, including what’s been my favorite place the military sent us and also my favorite/least favorite things about being a military spouse.

if you don't like where you're stationed, it can be a challenging time, but let’s talk about: 

• Every place can’t be your absolute favorite, and you might outright dislike where you’re living.
• Start small and focus on one thing you can find that’s positive. 
• How to avoid the negative spiral.
• Remember this is not forever. 
• Keep your eyes open for potential friends—they’re what make the tough assignments worth it!
• Watching out for the pitfalls of the comparison trap. 
• How to get yourself out there, and taking care of yourself.
