Change is constant in military life and with every PCS, our friendships and support systems often get left behind. But what if you could build relationships that last, no matter where you go?

In this special archive episode, veteran, Army spouse, and podcaster Kasie Purvis (Gather the Scattered Podcast) shares her 5 Steps to Building a House of Friendship, a framework for finding your people and creating meaningful community in every new season.

Kasie draws from her own journey as a military spouse, a veteran, and her 10 years working in Federal Law Enforcement to show us that while friendship transitions are hard, they’re also an opportunity to grow, connect, and thrive.

If you’re ready to stop feeling alone and start building your own “house of friendship,” this episode is packed with the encouragement and tools you need.

In this special archive episode, we’re revisiting a standout presentation from Monarch: From Cocoon to Crown, our virtual summit hosted in May 2025. Army spouse, author, and leadership coach Stacey Morgan shares heartfelt, practical advice for one of the toughest challenges in military life, friendship transitions.

From the grief of leaving your village behind to the intentional effort required to build new, trusted connections, Stacey offers a mix of encouragement and strategy to help military moms navigate this season with grace. With 25 years as a military spouse, four kids, and moves around the globe, including Kwajalein Atoll, Stacey has lived it all and understands exactly what’s at stake when we lose our sense of community.

Whether you’re in the middle of a PCS, preparing for one, or simply longing for stronger connections, this episode will leave you inspired, equipped, and reminded that you are never truly alone.

Thank you Stacey!
