Welcome back to the Milspouse Summer Reset Series, where we’re exploring small, powerful shifts military spouses can make to live with more meaning and less overwhelm.

Each week, we’re unpacking one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass — a free life assessment tool inside the Milspouse Transformation Guide. These conversations are designed to help you reset, refocus, and create a life that truly excites you.

This week, we’re diving into an area of wellness we don’t talk about nearly enough: spiritual health.

While we may not always have clear language around it, research continues to show that our spiritual well-being deeply influences our mental, emotional, and even physical health.

That’s why I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Sharita Knobloch, military spouse, researcher, and faith leader, to the show. Together, we explore the intersection of religion, spirituality, and military spouse mental health, and why nurturing your inner life is just as important as caring for your body or mind.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

 * Why spiritual health is often overlooked but deeply impactful
 * How faith and spirituality support mental and emotional resilience
 * What Dr. Sharita’s research reveals about the role of spiritual practices in milspouse well-being
 * Practical ways to nurture your spiritual life, wherever you are in your journey

Better Together,
Christine

244. Why Spiritual Health Matters Too with Dr. Sharita Knobloch

Welcome back to the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — a podcast series designed to help you make simple, strategic shifts that lead to a more meaningful, purpose-fueled life.

Each week, we’re exploring one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass, a free life assessment tool inside the Milspouse Transformation Guide. It’s all about making empowered changes that help you live with more energy and less overwhelm.

This week, we’re focusing on physical health and discussing one of the most foundational, yet often overlooked, areas of wellness: nutrition.

Whether you’re navigating another PCS, juggling family dinners with picky eaters, or just trying to stay healthy on a tight budget, figuring out how to fuel your body well can feel like a challenge.

That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to Heather Campbell, a military spouse, family nutrition expert, and researcher who is passionate about making wellness accessible and sustainable for military families.

Together, we break down practical strategies for nourishing your body and your family.

Better Together,

Christine

242. Milspouse Mental Health Matters with Evie King of InDependent

This summer, we're hitting reset together with the Milspouse Summer Reset Series — a special collection of episodes designed to help you make small but powerful shifts that can lead to major transformation in your life.

Each week, we're diving into one of the 10 focus areas of the Clarity Compass, a free life assessment tool and your go-to resource for creating a more fulfilling, purpose-fueled life.

In this episode, we’re starting with the foundation: rest.

I’m joined by military spouse, entrepreneur, author, and mom of three, Chrissie Kenaston, for a real and refreshing conversation about what rest actually looks like in the middle of military life, motherhood, and everything in between.

We’re unpacking what it means to build a life of more meaning and less overwhelm — not by doing more, but by giving yourself permission to pause.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, like you’re always “on,” or stuck in hustle mode, this episode will remind you that rest isn’t just allowed — it’s essential.

Better Together,

Christine

239. How to Rebuild Communication in a Military Marriage (Without Therapy) with Linda Schwefel

Trigger Warning: This episode contains mentions of sexual abuse, rape, miscarriage, addiction, and suicide. 

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Nicole B. Gebhardt—author, speaker, transformational coach, and military spouse—as she shares her personal journey through trauma, loss, addiction, and healing. Nicole opens up about how she turned unimaginable pain into purpose, and how she now helps others—especially military spouses—do the same.

Nicole holds a Master’s in Human Development & Family Studies and is a Certified Child Life Specialist, Reiki Master, and Emotion Code Practitioner. Named the 2025 Washington, D.C. National Guard Spouse of the Year, she is a passionate advocate for pregnancy and infant loss awareness, addiction recovery, and helping others rediscover their worth.

If you’ve ever wondered if healing is possible or questioned your ability to rise after deep hurt, this conversation will remind you: you’re not alone, and there is always hope.

Better Together,

Christine

238. Turning Pain into Purpose with 2025 AFI Washington, DC National Guard Spouse of the Year Nicole Gebhardt

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, constantly “on,” or stuck in survival mode… I see you. And on this Military Spouse Appreciation Day, I don’t just want to say thank you—I want to give you something that helps you breathe again.

So I created a bonus episode for you. In this episode, we chat about what’s really going on in your body and mind when you feel overwhelmed or disconnected—and how to start calming the chaos from the inside out. We talk about the role your nervous system plays in stress and 7 practical things you can do to build resilience, feel more grounded, and shift out of survival mode.

Plus, I created a free gift for you: The Milspouse Reset—a soothing bundle with a guided meditation, affirmations, and journal prompts to help you pause, reconnect, and remember that you are so much more than just holding it all together.

You were made for more than burnout. Let this be your moment to reset.

Better Together,

Christine

236. The PCS Chaos Is Real: What You Can Control This Summer

In this episode, we’re getting real about the stress and mental load so many military spouses carry—especially during busy or solo parenting seasons. Often, the first thing we let go of is taking care of ourselves.

We explore the hidden beliefs that keep us stuck in self-neglect, even when we know we need to fill our own cup. You'll learn why guilt, busyness, and limiting stories might be holding you back—and how to shift that narrative. 

Plus, I’m sharing the simple yet powerful 30-Day Fill Your Cup Challenge to help you reconnect with yourself in practical, soul-nourishing ways

Better Together,

Christine

235. Fill Your Cup in 30 Days: A Simple Start to Self Care for Milspouses

The go to podcast for military spouses who want to live with more meaning and less overwhelm! Have you ever felt stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, frustrated or unfulfilled as a military spouse? Are you tired of putting your own dreams, goals and plans on hold; waiting for some future season to build a life you love? Do you sometimes feel like you’ve lost sight of who you are and what you have to offer? The MilSpouse Mastermind Show is here to empower you to GET UNSTUCK, CRAFT A LIFE WITH PURPOSE, and show you that YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT FOR TOMORROW TO CHASE YOUR DREAMS. In this podcast, we dig into all things military spouse life, from the mind and growth work that has to happen in order for you to completely get unstuck and feel fulfilled every single day – YES, IT’S POSSIBLE – to practically navigating the unpredictability of military life. Through honest conversations and expert interviews, we’ll help you set goals, combat stress and anxiety, incorporate self-care as a military spouse, boost your mental and emotional health, and prioritize what matters most, so that you can pursue your life, career and business dreams (with more joy and less hustle and overwhelm as a military family). 👋 Hi, I’m Christine, a military wife of over ten years, marketing strategist, mom of three, and coffee connoisseur. I am all-too-familiar with the challenges that come with frequent moves, deployments, TDYs and trying to balance military life with your own dreams and passions. After four moves and three babies in four years, I became an accidental stay at home mom. I began a journey to find myself again and figure out how to love the life I was actually living, rather than the one I had imagined for myself. If there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s this: You were made for more! More than the managing of schedules, keeping up with kiddos and holding down the home front. YOU have something uniquely valuable to offer, and when you pursue the things that light your heart on fire, you trade frustration for FULFILLMENT and isolation for IDENTITY, CONNECTION, and a life of IMPACT. I’m here to help you thrive as a military spouse, get clarity on what fuels and fills you, and give you practical tools and strategies to craft a life of MEANING and PURPOSE today. Whether you are an Army spouse, an Air Force spouse, a Marine spouse, a Navy spouse, Coast Guard spouse, or a Space Force spouse, this is the podcast for you! Friend, it’s time to reclaim your life and dreams and discover who you are meant to be because together we can change the world! LET’S DO IT!
