Empowering, Connecting +supporting milsos
This question came in earlier this week and hit us This question came in earlier this week and hit us both right in our feels because we've personally been there😭😭 It can be extremely volatile in the world of military friendships (a reality we loathe) and if the lessons we've learned over the last several years of milso life can prevent anyone else from having that experience we are here to help!!! Starting with what to look for and avoid...our biggest red flags in a military friendship are: 1. Thriving on gossip - we all know the saying, if they're talking to you about someone else...they're probably talking to someone else about you + at this point in life, we've got better ways to spend our precious time! 2. Competitive about military life - the "just you wait" mentality or pressure to prove how hard military life is, no thanks. 3. Zero respect for boundaries - there's a big difference in challenging you to get out of your comfort zone and disrespecting you by ignoring social and emotional boundaries. 4. Only show up when drama is involved - if they're in it for the chaos but not there celebrating alongside you when things aren't chaotic, they're not your person. 5. You're drained being around them - if you get home and are overwhelmed with anxiety after being with them (maybe because you're constantly feeling judged or judging others) that's a good nudge to cut ties. Going to talk through these red flags (and how to steer clear of these people with grace) in more detail on next month's podcast episode, be sure to subscribe to our Patreon at the link in our bio 😘

Flipping the script in our brains is a powerful th Flipping the script in our brains is a powerful thing to help us get through some of these seasons of military life, and love those around us through it! Finding bright spots like stolen time, joy in making breakfast for two instead of just one, and in the complexities of living life with the person you love more than anything is what makes this life the sweetest. 🤍 For whatever the adventure, big or small, we love bringing our oversized Getaway Bag with us!

Over the last 10 years, whenever someone would ask Over the last 10 years, whenever someone would ask what's next for us when my husband was eligible to separate our answer was always the same, "depends on the day". Military life has challenged us, refined us and ultimately changed us. We've met some of our closest friends, made unforgettable memories with our families and have grown to understand our call to service. We've spent the last year talking through our options and just when we thought we had it all figured out, the opportunity of a lifetime came knocking + we agreed to 8 more years of active duty service (even typing that out feels surreal!!!!) God's plans are greater than our own, and the peace that came with this choice has affirmed that this decision was the best next step for our military family. Here's to more chaos, memories + growth! 🇺🇸
