Get ready for the truth about what it means to have a strong identity before joining the military lifestyle! In this episode I talk with Jessica Wright, as she vulnerably shares her point of view with us. 

Becoming a Late Career Milspouse is like this: 

👉🏻Don't know how or where you need to catch up? Yep. 

👉🏻Hearing archaic advice from spouses who've been doing this for a long time? Yep. 

👉🏻Feeling like your identity prior to becoming a milspouse is painful to change or even let go of? Absolutely. 

This is Episode #4 of The Heart of a Milspouse Podcast series highlighting Late Career Milspouse/Milso stories + experiences ❤️ 

Topics we cover: 

👉🏻How Jessica met her service member (same as me!) 

👉🏻Some advantages + disadvantages of having a strong identity prior to joining the military lifestyle 

👉🏻How Top Gun shapes the way we knew of the military (we had this convo before the new movie release) 

👉🏻The crap other spouses have said to her while experiencing tough deployment circumstances 

------------------------------------ 

Jessica lives in the Seattle area with her Navy spouse and dachshund, Hershey. She's an Enneagram 2 and enjoys cooking, baking, crafting, and drinking coffee. Jessica is obsessed with degrees and programs that have the word “transformation” in them because she believes in seeking continual growth and learning how to embrace change. It's been said that she takes no shit but does no harm. She's on a mission to help people believe that they can make a big difference in the world once they learn how to reframe their challenges and show up in their life in a way that makes them excited. She truly believes she’s the funniest person she knows and always wants to be around other changemakers, but can often be found narrating the thoughts inside every dog’s head that she sees.
