Empowering, Connecting +supporting milsos
We both LOVED this clip from @drmorgancutlip on a We both LOVED this clip from @drmorgancutlip on a recent @tscpodcast epi about strengthening your marriage and immediately thought about how often military life is filled with criticism—whether it’s directed at ourselves, our spouses, or even this lifestyle. We know firsthand that military marriages and friendships are already tested in ways most people never experience. The constant change, distance, and uncertainty can make it easy to focus on what’s wrong. But here’s the truth: criticism creates distance, while self-awareness, support, and understanding bring us closer. Instead of leading with frustration, let’s lead with grace. Instead of only pointing out flaws, let’s recognize our own triggers, acknowledge strengths, and approach challenges with solutions. The healthiest relationships—whether with our partners, our friends, or ourselves—are built on encouragement, not criticism. That’s where real, lasting change happens.

As 2 outspoken personalities, nothing is louder th As 2 outspoken personalities, nothing is louder than our silence 👀👀👀 It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison, especially when parts of military life can feel so isolating, but no one wins when we treat hardship like a competition. The number of deployments, TDYs, or moves doesn’t define your strength or value in this community. Instead of comparing who’s had it tougher, let’s focus on how we show up for one another in the messy, unpredictable moments that shape this life. There is power in connection, empathy, and encouragement. Your journey (no matter what it looks like!!!) is real, valid, and enough. To find other milsos with this mindset, visit the link in our bio for ways you can connect with the WAF community on Patreon, Facebook and more 🫶🏼
