82 - from service to support: a veteran mom’s insight on military life and motherhood

Happy Veterans Day!

In this special episode, we honor the resilience, sacrifice, and strength of military families by sharing the story of Heather Jones, a veteran, military spouse, and mom. Heather opens up about her journey in the military—why she enlisted, how she met her husband, and how they navigated almost two decades of military life together while raising a family.

As a military mom and now a coach for other military spouses, Heather brings a unique perspective to the challenges and rewards of military life. She shares insight about finding balance, letting go of the pressure to do it all, and building a support system. In fact, she reveals that the challenges she faced at home while her husband was deployed were even harder than her own deployment—a testament to the often unseen strength of military spouses.

Whether you're part of a military family or simply looking to understand the hidden sacrifices made by those who serve our country (including spouses who support our servicemen and women), this episode is for you. Join us in celebrating Veterans Day by tuning in to hear Heather's powerful story and her takeaways that can be applied to all the mamas out there, whether serving or civilian.
