In this episode, we take a look into the roller coaster journey of military life through the lens of the blog Sometimes You Thrive, And Sometimes You Survive by #MilMC Contributor Nicole Cowan. For military spouses, life is a constant balancing act—thriving at some duty stations and merely surviving at others. The unique challenges of frequent moves, long separations, and adapting to new environments often shape this journey. 

We’ll dive into the personal experiences, discuss the resilience, adaptability, and support systems that help military spouses navigate these highs and lows. Whether you’re in a thriving season or simply surviving the moment, this conversation offers insights, encouragement, and practical tips for finding strength and joy in the journey.
