Becky Hoy shares with us that “there is a distinction between intentional self care and crashing. Intentional self care means that we are creating a life that we don’t need to hide from, a life that feels fluid, feels good for you, that you have set boundaries in your life that leave space for you to BREATHE.”
You will be getting out your pens and paper for this episode! Take notes as Becky breaks down how to:
Establish our rocks in the river, which are critical for our own family’s well being, and they help to make everything else optional.
Reframe a deployment. There can be a paradox of finding JOY in a painful season. In Becky’s experience, “Deployment forced me out of my comfort zone and forced me to create habits, systems, and routines in my life that transformed me and transformed my relationship.”
Approach reintegration as a season of dating.
Becky also answers the question of when to begin or when to wait as a budding milspouse entrepreneur.
This conversation will give you courage to look at your life with new eyes. Or, as Becky puts it: “Being brave for me means taking a hard look at the reality I’m living in, embracing it, and stepping into that unknown to make a way forward.”
