This week on the Military Life Podcast, I speak with Defence Partner Kristy about a crash posting and balancing family and career alongside Defence life.
Kristy and I also talk about;
- Focusing on her career and why, early on, the Army had little impact on her everyday life
- The huge changes that came with a crash interstate posting (the 2-week notice type)
- Living out of a motel to finish out her notice period at work and moving to Brisbane
- Going from having a successful career to being unemployed and starting fresh
- Choosing to focus on the bigger picture and the positives in her new location
- Finding meaningful employment she can take with her when they post
- Taking part in a new Spouse and Veteran program called the Career Evolution Program
- The importance of balance and the role a supportive and flexible employer plays
- Why Kristy would like her kids to see that both Mum and Dad can do amazing things
- Connecting in with the Defence Community and accessing support
