Welcome to The Hustle Behind the Camouflage Series, where we peel back the layers of military spouse life to uncover the journey of rediscovery, empowerment, and purpose-driven hustle.

In this powerful kickoff episode, I sit down with a fellow military spouse, Amber, to talk about what it really means to rediscover yourself , not just after marriage, motherhood, or a PCS move, but in those quiet, often isolating moments where you’re forced to pause and reflect.

This conversation sets the tone for a new series where I’ll be interviewing women who’ve turned moments of uncertainty into clarity, and isolation into inspiration by building businesses, dreams, and lives that reflect who they truly are.

We get real about: Feeling stuck and finding your way out
The power in pausing to rediscover who you are
Misconceptions about military spouse life
And how owning your story is the first step toward building something bold

Because before we build dreams, we must first build ourselves and empower each other in the process.
