    EP140 BUILD Your Mental Health with Kimberly Gold

    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.   You can connect with Kimberly on social media @kimberlyisgold on all platforms.   If there is a topic  you'd like to hear more on Hearts & Stripes Podcast, reach out on social @militarymarriageday or email militarymarriageday@gmail.com.   Today’s Heart Track is by: Lift Me Up by Rhianna https://youtu.be/Mx_OexsUI2M Let's Connect: To get even more on Hearts & Stripes podcast, resources, community and more head to https://www.militarymarriageday.com Connect with Military Marriage Day on IG & Facebook @militarymarriageday and check us out on YouTube Connects with Bree on IG https://www.instagram.com/itsbreecarroll

    EP139 50th Anniversary Reflections

    Welcome to Season 6 of the Hearts & Stripes podcast with encouragement from host, Bree Carroll.  Today Bree is reflecting on three big takeaways from her in-laws 50th wedding anniversary and vow renewal.  A huge thank you to Edna & Stanley Carroll for your example and support. Happy 50th! Here are our highlights from this episode:    Focus on Family - Everything blooms from a focus on marriage and family. Making sacrificial decisions to put the family in a better position was a big part of what made them successful. This takes selflessness and a big picture perspective as opposed to a short term gain. Focus on Faith - The Carrolls don’t just say what they believe but also model it. They practice their beliefs and follow the order that the Bible outlines for families.  It takes submission, surrender, trust, and intentionality. Focus on Selflessness - I love watching my inlaws love one another. They model showing up for one another when it matters most. This looks like taking vows seriously, especially the “for better or for worst” portion. This is something that isn’t always easy but is necessarily for a sustainable relationship.  If there is a topic  you'd like to hear more on Hearts & Stripes Podcast, reach out on social @militarymarriageday or email militarymarriageday@gmail.com.   Today’s Heart Track is by: Forever by Jason Nelson https://youtu.be/FnVFe_J2zfI  Let's Connect: To get even more on Hearts & Stripes podcast, resources, community and more head to https://www.militarymarriageday.com Connect with Military Marriage Day on IG & Facebook @militarymarriageday and check us out on YouTube Connects with Bree on IG https://www.instagram.com/itsbreecarroll

    EP138 Moms In The Military

    Welcome to Season 6 of the Hearts & Stripes podcast with encouragement from host, Bree Carroll.  Today we are chatting with Air Force veteran and author Patricia Q. Throughout our talk we go back to the basics of what is needed to thrive in your family and marriage relationship.  Here are our highlights from this episode:    Marriage First - Make time for you to connect with your spouse.  Consider scheduling a day to yourselves during TDY or deployment reintegrations before spending time with the entire family. Individual Relationships - As parents try to foster individual relationships with your kids.  Take them on one on one outings or join activities that they enjoy so you each have a special connection collectively and individually. Resources - I love that we went back to basics as Patricia shared the following resources: Family Readiness, Spouse Club, Chapel, First Sergeants and fellow service families.  Remember When You Were New - If you see someone new, take the first step towards them to assist.    More About Patricia:   Patricia became a mom early in her military career and spent most of her career tackling both service and motherhood. Her husband was also a member of the United States Air Force.  After retirement, Patricia worked as a contractor with the Air Force before deciding to professionally pursue her passion for writing. She published her first book in December 2022. She is currently working on a book of poetry and a companion book to her first book.   Website http://www.patriciaqaiyyim.com Social Media Handles https://www.facebook.com/PatriciaQaiyyimAuthor/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-qaiyyim-veteran-author/   If there is a topic  you'd like to hear more on Hearts & Stripes Podcast, reach out on social @militarymarriageday or email militarymarriageday@gmail.com.   Today’s Heart Track is by: We Are Family  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyGY2NfYpeE Let's Connect: To get even more on Hearts & Stripes podcast, resources, community and more head to https://www.militarymarriageday.com Connect with Military Marriage Day on IG & Facebook @militarymarriageday and check us out on YouTube Connects with Bree on IG https://www.instagram.com/itsbreecarroll
