Description

Milspouse Matters is the podcast dedicated to encouraging military spouses! I'm your host, Jen McDonald, and I was a military spouse for 30 years until my husband's retirement. We lived all around the world, raised four kids, and dealt with all the challenges and adventures of military life, just like you! I'm also the author of two books for military spouses. Over the years, I came to believe that we military spouses are tough, but we're only stronger together. Whether you're a new or more seasoned spouse…Whatever life is throwing your way? Let's talk about it!
