    Ep 19 - Empowered Health with Erin

    Our special and extremely knowledgeable guest for this episode is our good friend Erin, from Empowered Nutrition.  Erin is a registered Dietitian and Nutritionist with a passion for women's health.  She is former Active Duty Air Force, spouse to an Air Force flight surgeon, mom of three,  leads her own private practice and is part of a functional medicine clinic near her family's duty station!  Erin is working on her Ph.D. in Clinical Nutrition, hosts her own podcast, Empowered Nutrition (which we borrowed for the title of our episode!) and manages her private practice through her site Erin Skinner Nutrition. Erin started as a human performance specialist in the USAF and after a life-changing personal health experience, dove deep into academics, course work and the subjects of digestive, metabolic and hormonal health.  In this episode, Erin talks to us about the military health care system, the state of medicine and health in the US and how busy women can prioritize their health in this environment.  This is a must-listen episode!  We loved talking to Erin, and you'll love hearing her compassionate and pragmatic thoughts on an extremely important topic.

    Ep 18 - Can You March_Bellas Alum Michele

    In our second interview with a Bellas Alum, we interview Michele, a very recently retired Active Duty officer with over 20 years of time in the uniform. Michele spent a large part of her career in academia and professional development along with a command tour as a BMT commander.  In this episode, Michele reflects on the importance of reflection, intentional leadership philosophy development and developing interpersonal skills.  As a life-long learner, Michele is perfectly suited to help listeners think about intentionally developing themselves and we thank her so much for sharing her wisdom with us in this episode!

    Ep 17 - Minimalist Military Life with Stephanie

    Military life often lends itself to clutter – we keep a lot of things “just in case” we get stationed somewhere we’ll need them. Or we have trouble letting go of all the military memorabilia we pick up after each tour. Maybe family members who can’t spend time with us due to distance make up for it with (maybe excessive) gift-giving, and we struggle with guilt when those gifts just aren’t our thing. In this episode, we talk to Stephanie, a professional minimalist who helps military families identify the purpose their possessions serve, and down-size those things that aren’t working towards that purpose. Stephanie walks us through her process and lots of incredible, practical tips.  She really digs deep into the roots of why we keep things, why we can’t let them go, and how we should think about our possessions in an often chaotic, unpredictable military life. Check out our website, wwww.bellasadbellum.com for more information about this and previous episodes. And we love listener feedback!

    Ep 15 - Summer Book List 2020

    Summer is just around the corner! Actually, it’s kind of already here – no school, less work, warmer weather. Quarantine life may have brought us the first two a little early and while some of us aren’t sure how we’re going to survive our kids much longer, some of us are loving all the social isolation. Bring on the summer book list!!  In this episode, Bernadette and Julie share book recommendations in five categories: leadership, self-improvement, historical/non-fiction, fiction/fun and children’s books, as well as share what they’re reading now, and what they’re reading next. Listen in for some great ideas to fill your summer reading hours! If you have your own recommendations you’d like to share, or want to chime in on any of our recommendations, jump on our social media sites and tag us in a post, conversation or comment! If you’re an “avid reader” like Julie and want to be a featured guest contributor on our website, consider writing a book review for one of your own book recommendations.

    See, what had happened was….Life. And it happens to all of us, right?

We also have two amazing Bellasaurus Rex stories, an extremely relevant listener-submitted question about update advice for young officers and some really enjoyable Favorite Things recommendations!

    Ep 13 - Mom of Military

    Just a tad late for Mother’s Day, but in honor of nonetheless, episode 13, a great talk with a very special guest – Julie’s mom, Debra. As a spouse of a military member and a mom to a military gal, Debra shares her perspective on guiding young people as they consider the option of joining military service, and her perspective on supporting your military member spouse. Listen in for a viewpoint you probably haven’t considered: your mom’s! Then, call your mom for Mother’s Day and thank her for supporting you in your decisions and tell her you realize she may have sacrificed some of herself to do so.

    We have another installment of our Segments format in Episode 12!
