Intro: About The Military Working Mom

Thank you for tuning in to the military working mom podcast! I am your host Drea Jones and I hope you are as excited i am to finally have a place to go, that is completely geared towards helping women who live the military lifestyle. To civilians our lives are complete chaos but to us it is the norm to move every 3-5 years, go without seeing our spouse and kids for months at a time, and our families for years. This is the life we are living and we can make it our best life with help and guidance from listening to stories of those who have experience the same hardships and challenges, as well as from professionals who are willing to help along the way.

In this episode i am going to give you a quick rundown of what you can expect from this podcast as well as a little bit about me

This podcast is meant to provide help to women in the military of all ranks and services by providing regulations, processes, resources, information, checklists, stories, and tips of the trade for all things related to the 3 core pillars of our life that surrounds and is affected by the military....being a mother, a spouse, and a military member.

To do this we have amazing guest speakers to include not only military moms sharing their stories and experiences, but also professional women across the globe who are willing to help military women through pregnancy and into motherhood, assist getting you back into shape after kids so you can take your fitness test, show you how to cope with anxiety and stress with work and relationships, and sooo much more as they understand our unique lifestyle.

I do want you to know they each guest speaker was carefully chosen to make sure they are well known in their career field and have a large following, as I want to make sure you are only getting the best advice and information. They are all briefed on what military standards and life is like for us before hand so they can tailor their programs and advice to specifically help you. This is not an off the shelf podcast....it is made to be a platform for you to give and get.

Share your experiences so others may learn, and listen to those who may help you know you are not alone.

You can look forward to a new podcast episode every Monday and they will alternate between stories, guest speakers, and my own recommendations and funny tid bits from my own life and mom experiences.

So who am I?

My name is Drea and I am an active duty military officer, I am the spouse to my amazing husband Brad who is also in the military, and I am a mom to an amazing little boy named Tripp, who at the time of this recording is almost 9 months.

Im no stranger to the military life as I grew up as a military dependent to two duel military parents, and now living the military life myself, I thought I knew it all.  However, once I became a mom, I realized I knew nothing at all and there was not a one stop shop resource for women in the military to help them with life after childbirth.   Enter the Military Mom Podcast
