On this week's podcast episode, I speak with spouse Freya about her quick introduction to defence life after meeting her RAAF guy through Tinder and three months later posting across the country with him.
Freya and I also talk about;
· Why she decided to follow her heart and jump in feet first
· Making the hard decision to leave her cats behind in WA
· Why they could not move into a DHA property and finding a rental
· Going into defence life with no expectations or information
· The first year together and huge milestones- a new relationship, a new location
· The realisation that her defence member was going to be away a lot
· Her decision to get out into the community and connect
· Why it took Freya around 12 months to start finding friends & supports
· Freya’s nursing career and why nursing is and isn’t a great fit for defence life
· The decision to start her own photography business and the reality of that
· Posting back to Perth WA, and what that means for her business
· The comfort she feels after learning defence friends are also posting to WA
· Future plans, a possible transition out and where Freya would like to end up
