48: Made to inspire with the bracelet queens of Charlie Madison Originals!
The Unspoken Life of the Military Wife | Building community and connection for military spouses
Continuing on with our holiday gift giving ideas, we chat today with Wendy Hively who is the founder and owner of Charlie Madison Originals.
Wendy and her family served 20 years in the Navy before retiring back in 2007 but we look back briefly at what their military lives looked like then. And touch on how challenging career continuity was and still is for mil spouses.
Wendy shares how she founded Charlie Madison Originals, which is named for her daughters. They make the most beautiful bracelets and they tell a story which I love.
Being part of a family with 3 generations of hero's across multiple branches of service, is what inspired them to create an uplifting community of fellow military families, whose common bond and shared experiences remind you that you’re not alone on your journey.
Their military jewelry collection inspires you to tell your unique military family story as you grow through each season and transition of military life - from deployment to PCS, celebrating a veteran, honoring a fallen hero, and showing pride for your milspouse tribe.
Having a personal and meaningful everyday reminder to slip on your wrist each morning empowers you to focus on what matters most and reassures you that you’re part of a community who understands that your sacrifices as a military family matter – that you matter!
