Holding Down the Fort - The Military Family and the Backbone that Keeps it Together
Show Notes

The military family stays together because of the glue that binds it. Our unsung heroes are the military spouses who run the household, who play nanny, caregiver, boo-boo fixer, carpool driver, after-school sports practice pick-up, homework enforcer, chef, and so much more. But what we don't talk about is how all of these titles weigh heavily on the military spouse, and how all of these responsibilities day in and day out, year after year, impact their mental health. AND YET, we say to the military spouse ... drive on. Listen to Olivia Nunn speak to Jen Amos and Jenny Lynne, two amazing military spouses and podcast hosts from "Holding Down the Fort."
