Welcome to Milspouse Matters, the podcast dedicated to encouraging military spouses!

I’m your host Jen McDonald, and I was a military spouse for 30 years until my husband’s retirement. We lived all around the world, raised four kids, and dealt with all the challenges and adventures of military life, just like you! I’m also the author of two books for military spouses. Over the years, I came to believe that we military spouses are tough, but we're only stronger together. Whether you’re a new or more seasoned spouse…Whatever life is throwing your way?  Let’s talk about it!

Making Peace with Military Life - Episode 16

Dec 13, 2018

Lindsay SwobodaIf you've ever felt the pull of "military spouse denial," as guest Lindsay Swoboda so aptly words it, you'll relate to this episode! Maybe you've been there, too? It's that mindset of refusing to believe that military life will define you, change your life, or otherwise affect you. Lindsay's been there/done that! She talks about how back-to-back overseas moves, deployments, and the birth of her daughter all slowed her down and taught her some important life lessons. 

Currently stationed in South America with her Marine Corps husband, Lindsay shares about her now slower pace of life and how she's come to embrace what military life brings, instead of fighting it. Hear about her family's time living in Morocco and how she learned to navigate an entirely foreign world. Then, be sure to download her overseas guide for military families!
