This week we are switching it up and speaking to male milspouse and Marine Corps veteran, Chris Molina! Chris is a girl dad and a leadership coach who finds himself navigating the female-dominated milspouse space. Chris and I discuss his experience as a milspouse, why he loves being a girl dad to his daughter, and his passion for understanding code-switching in every environment.
As a man in the female-dominated milspouse world, Chris feels the sense of isolation that many milspouses can relate to due to relocation, overseas assignments, and separation from friends and family. Chris shares a few tips on how to manage his feelings of isolation on his own and how he manages it with his wife as a couple.
In this episode, we mention Chris’s upcoming film Code-Switching. You can follow the Code Switching Instagram for updates and premiere dates.
