On episode 131 of the Military Life Podcast, I speak with RAAF spouse Rachael about finding the defence life balance, having her husband home and growing thanks to gratitude.
Rachael and I also speak about;
- the first posting shock and finding your feet away from family and friends
- the realisation that when her husband was away she was all alone
- being independent but still being able to be dependent on each other
- figuring out their communication style and how they adapted it when apart
- making sure they communicated properly with each other to avoid disconnect
- taking time to realise being a whole person away from her partner was a good thing
- why a 3rd posting back to Richmond has been one of the best yet
- how a varied career helped her decide which field she wanted to explore
- finding community after posting while also experiencing post-natal depression
- the positive impact yoga, mindfulness and gratitude journaling play in her life
- being the CEO of Frontline Yoga and why all defence partners should get involved
