February Podcast Recap

1st Episode: FEBRUARY’S THEME: Finding Ease in the Kitchen

I don’t care who you are, everyone always wishes things were easier in the kitchen. For me personally, I would just prefer that I could afford a personal chef who would make healthy delicious meals that my whole family would eat and do the dishes too. BBBBUUUTTT, seeing as that’s not in my close financial future I guess I’ll just have to not settle for struggling and figure out ways to make life easier 🙂

Check out some of my top tips by listening to the podcast episode here (iTunes) (Youtube) (Stitcher) (And Google Play but I have all apple devices so I can’t link it) and you can go to The Waiting Warrior page on Instagram and check out the “Ease in the Kitchen” highlight bubble for a TON of amazing tips from myself and some experts.

2nd Episode: MASTERING DEPLOYMENTS with LIZANN

“If you reach out and connect with just one resource -on your base, in your community, online –you’re going to find a network of people who want to help you and support you. And finding that encouragement can really give you that strength and that confidence that you need to face what you have ahead.” @seasonedspouse_military_advice


Military life is not always easy, but if there is one thing that Lizann believes, it’s that you don’t have to do it alone. Listen to her episode on The Waiting Warriors Podcast (iTunes) (Youtube) (Stitcher) (and Google Play but I have all apple devices so I can’t link, sorry!) and hear all her advice on how anyone, anywhere can find the help and community they need!

“I do believe there is a lot of good in every day… we just have to slow down and notice it.” @upliftinganchor

Hope. It seems to be this thing we know we need and keeps us glued together as Waiting Warriors, but how do we find it? In this episode of the podcast Lindsay talks about her journey with hope and how we can implement things in our lives to keep hope strong and alive.
