Welcome to Season 6 of the Hearts & Stripes podcast with encouragement from host, Bree Carroll.  Today we are chatting with Kimberly Gold and dive into what caring for yourself looks like within your marriage and for yourself. Sometimes BUILDing your marriage starts with you first BUILDing Your Mental Health. Here are our highlights from this episode: 
 
Kimberly shares her milmarriage story that starts with sliding into DMs and a shift to work on physical health.
She shares her journey of resentering, healing and recovering from a toxic work environment. 
“You can’t be a good partner when you’re not being good to yourself.” 
Stop using positive distractions. Be brave enough to acknowledge that you need help. Let’s stop normalizing or silencing your trauma, hurt or feelings.
 Know your options. Look into different health care providers like Steven A Cohen’s - Cohen Veterans Network  at https://www.cohenveteransnetwork.org & providers highlighted on the Military Marriage Day app
 
About Kimberly
 
Born to a Korean woman who would become the first Korean female Chief Warrant Officer Five in the US Army, Kimberly prides herself on learning directly from her mother who taught her how to turn obstacles into opportunities. 
As a military kid, Kimberly has been assigned to seven military bases and can recall attending at least five schools. In elementary school, Kimberly stayed with a babysitter when both her parents deployed for the Gulf War. Kimberly recalls a time where she deeply disappointed her patriot mother by not accepting an appointment to the Air Force Academy. In the words of Kimberly, she was “DONE” with military life. To show her mother exactly how done she was, she went on to spend the next two decades serving military communities, even deploying to Kuwait, as a humanitarian and is happily married to a foreign born spouse who serves in the Army.
