Life and work are balancing acts. We all have priorities, hopes and dreams, financial responsibilities, and family. Sometimes these can be out of sync and you end up doing work that doesn’t fulfill you instead of doing work you love.
Many military spouses put up with work they don’t like for little money because of limited options. Many veterans struggle to find work after the military that they can earn a living at and enjoy. But what if you leverage things like your personality, natural skills, and your passions to meaningful work.
I know what it’s like to get out of the military. I also know what it’s like to be a military spouse and a military brat. And I know what it’s like to experience your husband getting out of the military and the ups and downs that come with it all.
Your identity, career, and earning potential can quickly get wrapped up in it all. It’s easy to get caught inside a bubble and not see the possibilities outside. Had I known then what I know now, the path I took to get to the point I’m at now where I’m doing work I love would have been a lot smoother. That is why I’m so excited to share this interview with you.
