I love how Mrs. Brown shares that its never too late to build healthy relationships! In our latest Hearts & Stripes podcast episode we share her opening remarks from the @military1source Relationship Wellness Summit to wrap up the Marriage & Leadership series.
If you feel hopeless in your relationship I encourage you to take a small step today. Listen to the Hearts & Stripes podcast for encouragement, resources and tools to help strengthen your military marriage. One step could start the ripple effect that changes everything. It’s worth it. You’re worth it. 💙🇺🇸

I am grateful for the opportunity to chat with my #milspouse friend & fellow marriage advocate Lindsay Cavanagh.
In the latest episode The Importance of Strengthening Military Marriage on the Married to Military podcast I share my philosophy on military life. To often we feel that this #militarylife happens TO us, but I believe it happens FOR us. We are stronger because of it and we “get to” experience opportunities most families do not.
Be sure to tune in to the Married to Military podcast with Lindsay to hear our full discussion. While your there, rate and review 😉!

Let’s get plugged in!
I had the opportunity to chat with proud Marine Corps spouse & mom, Mattrice Williamson for part two of the Marriage & Leadership series on Hearts & Stripes podcast. Her advice is one that we need a constant reminder of, and that’s to connect with our available installation resources first. This is something she has committed to doing throughout her milspouse journey and shared how it’s connected her to who and what she needed for each assignment.
Take Mattrice’s advice to support your your marriage and your role as a leader. If we don’t use it these programs will go away. Utilize them, give feedback and share with others so we can continue to be #milmarriagestrong 💙🇺🇸

"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it's destination full of hope." - Maya Angelou

Who is the #MMDSummit for? ALL military married couples.
There is a BIG misconception that investing in your marriage or getting support is only needed when something is wrong. Not true! Some of the best athletes still seek out coaching to get even better. We are forever #becoming and working towards our version of a perfect marriage.
There is also a misconception that a relationship can be too damaged for an event to make any real impact. Wrong again! The best thing you can do for your marriage is to take small steps and get in community with other couples.
In this episode of Hearts & Stripes podcast I am sharing all about the @militarymarriageday summit for 2021. If you want to hear more about #militarymarriageday or the summit, head to www.militarymarriageday.com #linkinbio and check out episode 79.

Feel - Deal - Heal
Building resilient marriages starts with building resilient individuals. Working on our mindset doesn’t sound like a sexy topic, but it’s one that we can’t avoid when we are looking to cultivate healthy, sustainable relationships. I love how @theresaalexisspeaks breaks this down in our most recent episode of Heats & Stripes.
Are you taking time to feel, deal & heal? A few great ladies & I are doing just this within my Identity coaching program throughout the month of June. Doors are closed for this round, but you’ll want to check out Identity #linkinbio and see if this could be the opportunity you need to build your confidence & resilience for the next offering.
In marriage we race together. Our goal should be in agreement and look like the same finish line, but we may be at different parts of the race.
We love how Rachel Luna breaks this down in episode 71 @girlconfident ! Personally & professionally we need to understand that being in lock step with one another, but rather we cheer on or teammate as we run our race.
Do you feel like you and your spouse are running at the same pace or different paces? We’d love to hear from you so comment below.
To hear more real talk from Rachel listen to Hearts & Stripes podcast today! #linkinbio
Milspouse By Bree Carroll
The heart beat of the family
The glue that holds so true
The silent in the ranks
The women and men of the few
The ones with strength and grit
The ones who stay behind
The ones who wear no uniform
The ones diverse in kind
We are not average or mediocre
We are not only wives
We are not your limiting stereotype
We are not afraid to thrive
We love our service member
We sacrifice along their side
We celebrate today together
We are milspouses with pride
Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day to all my amazing #milspouse

#Tuesdatip Make a Vow 💍
This #elopement had us all so emotional. It all started when our #milspouse to be reached out in a Facebook post bearing her heart saying, “I just want to get married...” This was right as the pandemic caused shutdown after shutdown, her original wedding plans were not possible, and the uncertainty of what life looked like beyond that point was uncertain. We were moved by their hearts as they desired to walk through whatever would come together. They made a vow.
A vow is just a promise. Our couple made one of the biggest promises of their lives in the midst of chaos. As we all walk through these unprecedented time... What vows are we making to ourselves, to our love, to our family, to our communities? What is your big promise? Can you commit to it? Your vow is based on what’s under the surface, in your heart. It may be to seek understanding or gain empathy through proximity. It may be to be an example, move intentionally and love deeply. Whatever it is, now is the perfect time. Assess the Foundation and Make a Vow. 🖤
