Episode 10: Becoming a Villager with Ashlee Sullivan

About this episode

In this episode, Heather talks with Ashlee Sullivan about the challenges and rewards of balancing business and family life within the military community.

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 sit down with Ashlee Sullivan for an encouraging conversation about life, business, and military community. Ashlee is an entrepreneur, military wife, homeschool mom, and a natural connector who has a gift for bringing people together. She shares personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and practical advice drawn from her experiences navigating multiple roles at once. We talk openly about the challenges and rewards of owning a business while living the unique rhythms of military life, including frequent transitions, balancing family responsibilities, and staying grounded during seasons of uncertainty. Our takeaway is simple but powerful: if you want to have a village around you, you have to be willing to be a villager.
