In this week's podcast episode, I talk to spouse Kim about being adaptable and being ok with "going with the flow."
Kim and I also talk about;
- what happens when defence suddenly becomes part of your plan
- a not-so-great first move and why Kim didn't let it set the tone for spouse life
- her husband deploying a month into their first posting
- how Kim used that first deployment to establish a friend network
- navigating finding work as a spouse in an area where jobs are scarce
- how their family cope with sea postings every 2 years
- communicating your needs with the military member when they're home
- being able to hand some of the mental load over to her husband when he is home
- connecting with the defence community and the importance of spouse support
- taking the time to acknowledge your feelings when plans change and moving forward
