Episode 07: Deployments

About this episode

In this episode, Heather shares her personal experiences with military deployments and offers advice from fellow military spouses.

Welcome to Military Wife, Life, and Strife, the podcast where we get open and honest about all the struggles of military life. In this episode, I open up about my personal experiences with three very different military deployments. Whether you're a seasoned spouse or facing your first deployment, you'll hear stories that might sound familiar… and others that are nothing like your own. I also share advice and candid moments from fellow military spouses in our incredible community. Whether you’re in the thick of it right now, reflecting on your own past deployments, or about to face a first deployment, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone. Subscribe and join me, your military Seanchaidh, as we connect with fellow members of the military community. We’d love to hear your story! Connect with me on Instagram and let me know your crazy deployment stories!
