  • Episode 10: Becoming a Villager with Ashlee Sullivan
    Dec 22 2025

    Welcome to Military Wife, Life, and Strife, the podcast where we get open and honest about all the struggles of military life.

    In this episode, I sit down with Ashlee Sullivan for an encouraging conversation about life, business, and military community. Ashlee is an entrepreneur, military wife, homeschool mom, and a natural connector who has a gift for bringing people together. She shares personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and practical advice drawn from her experiences navigating multiple roles at once.

    We talk openly about the challenges and rewards of owning a business while living the unique rhythms of military life, including frequent transitions, balancing family responsibilities, and staying grounded during seasons of uncertainty. Our takeaway is simple but powerful: if you want to have a village around you, you have to be willing to be a villager.

  • Episode 09: Reintegration the 4th Trimester
    Nov 26 2025

    Welcome to Military Wife, Life, and Strife, the podcast where we get open and honest about all the struggles of military life.


    In this episode, I finally make good on my promise to dive into the reintegration process. Whether you’re preparing to welcome a soldier home, recovering from a tough reintegration and looking for guidance, or simply wanting to learn how to reconnect with your spouse in a healthy way after deployment, this episode is for you.


    Drawing from my own experiences and the wisdom shared with me by others, I break down practical, compassionate tips for creating a smoother, more meaningful reconnection. Think of it as the real-life support behind all those heart-warming homecoming videos you replay on loop—only this time, focused on what happens after the cameras are off.Subscribe and join me, your military Seanchaidh, as we connect with fellow members of the military community.

  • Episode 08: Following Breadcrumbs with AJ
    Nov 12 2025

    Welcome to Military Wife, Life, and Strife, the podcast where we get open and honest about all the struggles of military life.


    In this special Veterans Day episode, I sit down with my friend AJ to talk about her journey as a veteran. With many years of dedicated military service and continued commitment to her community after retirement, AJ is a shining example of resilience, faith, and servant leadership. Her story will inspire and encourage you wherever you are in your own journey.


    As we honor Veterans Day, I want to take a moment to thank every veteran — from every branch and generation — who has served our country. We see you, we appreciate you, and we love you. ❤️
