    277. PCSing with Kids: Supporting Your Kids Through Military Moves // PCS Survival Series, Part 5

Adjusting to new environments again and again.  In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about what it really looks like to support your kids through a move—at every age and stage. In this episode, we talk about: How kids experience PCS differently depending on age What it looks like to involve your kids in the process How to prepare them for what’s coming Why resilience doesn’t mean they don’t need support And how to create space for their emotions Better Together, Christine Mentioned In This Episode Episode 166: Need a Little Reassurance that Military Life Won’t Scar Your Kids for Life?

    276. The Game Plan: Moving Week (What to Expect) // PCS Survival Series, Part 4

    The days before a PCS move? To me, that’s the part that often feels the most overwhelming. You’re making decisions. Prepping everything. Prepacking. Trying not to forget something important. But once the packers show up… Things actually start to slow down. At that point, you’ve already done the hardest part—you’ve made the decisions. Now it’s just about letting the process play out. In this episode, I’m walking through what moving week really looks like—and how to prepare in a way that makes it feel a little more manageable. In this episode, we talk about: What to do before the packers arrive How to create a “do not pack” system that actually works What to expect during pack-out days And why things start to feel different during the process Better Together, Christine Resources Start here: Free Clarity Workshop Stay connected: Join The Free Community The real-time version of navigating life as a milspouse: Instagram Work with me 1:1: Let’s Work Together Support the show: If this episode meant something to you, leaving a review helps more military spouses find it 🤍 Leave a Show Review, Pretty Please!

    275. Your PCS Game Plan: Before the Movers Arrive // PCS Survival Series, Part 3

    Raise your hand if you've ever searched for the “perfect PCS checklist”...only to figure out the checklist was impossible to follow.  Because in real life... Orders come late. Timelines shift. And many moves don’t follow a neat, predictable plan.  In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re getting into the logistics...but in a way that actually works for real military life. This isn’t about having a perfect plan.  It’s about knowing what you can do now to make your move feel more manageable later. In this episode, we talk about: What you can do before you have orders How to prepare financially for a PCS How to start simplifying your home before a move What to focus on once you do have orders And how to create a flexible plan that actually works Better Together, Christine Resources Start here: Free Clarity Workshop Stay connected: Join The Free Community The real-time version of navigating life as a milspouse: Instagram Work with me 1:1: Let’s Work Together Support the show: If this episode meant something to you, leaving a review helps more military spouses find it 🤍 Leave a Show Review, Pretty Please!

    274. PCS Plot Twists: When Your Military Move Doesn’t Go as Planned // PCS Survival Series, Part 2

    If you’ve been through a PCS before, you probably already know this: Things don’t always go according to plan. Assignments change. Timelines shift. And sometimes, the version of the move you were preparing for… isn’t the one that actually happens.  In this episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re talking about PCS plot twists (and why your mindset matters more than you think). Because while you can find a checklist anywhere…what’s harder to navigate is what happens when those plans fall apart. In this episode, we talk about: The emotional impact of unexpected shifts Why focusing only on logistics makes the process harder The role your mindset plays in shaping your experience And how to move forward when things don’t go the way you hoped Better Together, Christine Resources Why don’t I feel like myself anymore?

    273. Preparing to PCS? Let's Talk About The Waiting Game // PCS Survival Series, Part 1

    PCSing isn’t just about moving boxes or checking off a to-do list.  It’s about navigating uncertainty, waiting on timelines, and learning how to move forward when you don’t have all the answers yet.  In this first episode of the PCS Survival Series, we’re starting at the very beginning: The Waiting Game. That space between knowing a move is coming… and actually having orders in hand. It’s the part where: • You can’t fully plan • You don’t have clear timelines • And everything feels a little up in the air For many military spouses, it’s one of the most mentally and emotionally exhausting parts of the entire process. In this episode, we talk about: • Why uncertainty feels so difficult during a PCS • The mindset shift from control → acceptance • How to make plans (without holding too tightly to them) • Letting go of perfection, especially when it comes to your home and belongings • Why your nervous system needs support during transition seasons • And how to stay grounded when nothing feels certain If you’re in the middle of a PCS (or know one is coming), this episode is for you.

    272. Holding On and Letting Go Through Military Life Transitions with Lindsay Swoboda

    How do you hold on… while also learning to let go? In this episode, I sit down with author and military spouse Lindsay Swoboda to talk about the ongoing reality of navigating change throughout military life. From early marriage and career pivots to overseas moves, motherhood, and eventually military retirement, Lindsay shares what it’s been like to continually reinvent herself while holding on to the parts of herself that matter most. In this conversation, we talk about: The cycle of reinvention as a military spouse Letting go of expectations while still holding onto purpose The emotional tension of grief and gratitude that exists at the same time What surrender really looks like in seasons you didn’t choose Why comparison makes transition seasons even harder How to move at your own pace—even when life feels uncertain Lindsay also shares the story behind her book, Holding On and Letting Go: A Life in Motion, and how writing became a way to process the often contradictory experience of military life. Military life doesn’t just ask you to let go once. It asks you to do it again and again, while still holding onto who you are becoming.

    271. Mandatory Fun? Why Military Spouses Actually Need More Play (Yes, Really)

    When was the last time you had fun—real, just-for-the-sake-of-it fun? Not multitasking. Not being productive. Not checking something off your list. Just fun. In military life, it’s easy to prioritize responsibilities, schedules, and everything that needs to get done. And somewhere along the way, play becomes something we push to the bottom of the list. But what if fun isn’t optional? In this episode, we’re talking about why play and creativity are essential—not just for enjoyment, but for your mental health, energy, and ability to show up in your life.
