VOLUNTOLD Caresse Noelani, military spouse

Happy Military Spouse Appreciate Day! You've clocked in the hours of endless solo parenting, showing up to holiday parties without a date, sacrificed anniversaries and even your career. So today is for you! The Voluntold Podcast recognizes and commends YOU for your hard work, commitment and solid skills of rocking this Voluntold Life. I am so proud to to be a military spouse and share this community with you. Today let's celebrate YOU! 

Week 3 or 4 since the U.S. was Voluntold to be quarantined. How are you doing so far? Today we discuss our battles, speaking and focusing on holistic health. We are all fighting the battle for our mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health. Listen as we discuss how to fight for truth and joy during a time of loss and fear. 

Times have changed. The Nation is in quarantine. The economy is uncertain. Our financial future is unknown. Are you financially prepared? Are you in debt? Do you have emergency funds saved? It can be a little nerve racking to think about especially if you're not ready. Taylor and I were in debt for years. Finally we decided to be intentional with our finances and paid off $25,000 of debt in 2 years, on a single income. No extra cash, no outside help. We found 10 life hacks that helped us save money, stay on budget and pay our way out of our debt. And this episode we are sharing with you exactly how we did it. What better time than now for us to share our financial story than during the end of the World? lol Whether you're working towards getting out of debt or save for future goals these "10 ways to save" will set you up for success!

Welcome to the Voluntold Club America! Nothing is guaranteed, everything is up in the air and we're all hoping we can celebrate the next holiday together. Comical? Yes and no. Reality? 100% So! how are you doing? How do you know what you NEED to purchase, how to prepare and how to live life while stuck inside? Listen as Taylor and I share our tips and tricks to preparing and thriving during this quarantine. We share what we purchased, how we prepped our house and how we're living this crazy life so far. Share with ALL your friends, military and not, cause we're all in this together! # coronavirus

You get married, move with your spouse to their new base and then you're on your own? Well sometimes it can feel that way. It's hard enough being married to someone who is rarely home. On top of that we also have to find people and activities to do enjoy life with. How do we build a sense of community and friendships in a foreign place with foreign people? Listen as Evie King, Executive Director of In-Dependent.org shares her experiences with moving and building community wherever she goes.

When two girls with ADD take a stroll down memory lane the topics are unpredictable. Long time military spouse friend Sabrina Wheeler and I discuss our experience with deployments and celebrating Valentines. We share our stories about how we stayed connected to our spouses while they were away and give tips and ideas on ways to make Valentines feel special (even when you can't be physically together). A good Galantines is always fun! We also deserve some intimate connection in our marriages.
