We are all familiar with the traditional marriage vows: "I, Sasha take thee, Richard, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
But have you really thought about the "in sickness and in health" part? Like REALLY thought about it. What if your spouse had a stroke and required 'round the clock care? What if they suffered from mental health issues and needed you to be their caregiver? Do you think you would be able to cope with that?
Today, we are joined by Jennifer, from Mom to Wife Plus Life who shares her journey of motherhood, and wifehood. Jennifer is the mother of a little girl, a wife for the second time, and a caregiver to her Navy veteran husband. Listed as top 50 mom podcasters in Podcast Magazine in May 2020, a current 2020 Elizabeth Dole Fellow for the state of Arkansas, and now a Mom Empowerment Coach. "I want to be a woman who sheds the light on women and moms going through different seasons of life and making the normal struggles we all go through normal and not something to be ashamed or embarrassed about. AKA hot mess momma life. I'm also a big supporter of childhood ADHD, domestic violence survivors, and caregivers for veterans."
