(Episode 41) Jumpstart Your Fitness Journey as a Military Spouse

Welcome to the first episode of our brand-new 8-part fitness series inside The PCS-Proof Podcast! Whether you’re completely new to fitness, coming back after a break, or trying to find your footing after a hectic PCS or deployment, this episode was made with you in mind.

I’m kicking off a series to help you take back control of your health, one small, powerful step at a time.

💥 In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why getting started (or restarted) with fitness is especially hard for military spouses—and why that’s not your fault

• The real-life PCS story that knocked me off track—and how I got back up using tiny, doable steps

• 4 science-backed strategies to make working out easier and way more realistic

• Why perfection isn’t the goal (and what actually builds momentum)

• A powerful mindset shift that could change the way you see yourself and your goals forever

👟 This episode is all about simplifying your fitness start. No pressure. No unrealistic routines. Just small, intentional actions that work with your unpredictable military lifestyle—not against it. So that you can start building momentum right away.
