Milspouse Matters Episode 45 with Military Spouse Tara Howes
Welcome back to the podcast! We’ve just hit the 2-year mark of Milspouse Matters, and I’m so thankful for this experience and YOU continuing to listen and share! Thank you, thank you so much.
First off, I’m answering your questions! We’re talking about the isolation felt living overseas, dealing with deployment…and you can find out what my favorite duty station was and maybe something you don’t know about me. Keep the questions coming!
Next, I’m joined by recurring guest and veteran Army spouse Tara Howes, and we discuss some realistic ideas for self care for military spouses during this crazy time. With everyone at home, working from home, schooling kids at home, it may seem counter intuitive to think you can take a break! And we’re looking at you—spouses of deployed service members, those in limbo during a move, or if you’ve been hit with the perfect storm of moving during a pandemic and your spouse deploying.
Listen in for some humor and a much needed break for YOU. Our hearts are with you!
