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!

Lauren Cecora is a go-getter!

But after giving birth to her first child, her world was rocked by postpartum depression. In this real and honest episode, you’ll hear about Lauren’s journey through PPD while her husband was deployed. Realizing quickly that something was off more than the typical postpartum “baby blues,” Lauren reached out for help, made the necessary changes in her life to get well and healthy, and then through her experience became an advocate for other new moms.

If you’re a new mom, know one, or find yourself in a fog after having a new baby, you’ll want to listen to this episode. Lauren is here to remind you that you’re not alone, gives you practical tips for finding your way through, and most of all extends hope that you CAN make it through your darkest days.

Also in this episode—find out what’s so special about Beale AFB, get her tips for any new mom trying to make sense of life after giving birth, and what she considers was her worst job ever!
