Walk away feeling a little less alone in the world, and share a laugh at their clumsy transparency through all the mid-life struggles. You’re invited to eavesdrop as they give each other the advice you didn’t ask for but wish you did, as well as the occasional Actual Advice from experts they know IRL.

    How Schitt's Creek Mirrors Military Life

    Ew, David! We have been waiting a long time for this: we are talking all about  the Rose family and Schitt's Creek. More specifically, we are putting our own spin on how the story arc of Schitt's Creek has a lot of similarities to what military life is like. We dive deep into being a fish out of water, new in town, roles different family members take on, self-discovery and awareness, personal growth, and for good measure we give a rundown on all of the characters' Enneagram types.  Mentions:  Schitt's Creek on NetflixBest Wishes, Warmest RegardsReddit thread of SC Enneagram types Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/milspogurus)
