Not making progress? 3 Questions to ask yourself to help you move along...
Beyond the Military Podcast: Women Transitioning from the Military, Veteran Women, Confident in Life & Career, Transitioning out of the Military into the Civilian Sector
11/15/21 • 12 min
Hey military-sister,
If you’ve made changes in your life to help you improve or get better at something possibly even...
being more present with your family, but feel as if you're not making progress.
It’s NOT because you don’t know how to or because you don’t have what it takes to make progress.
It’s because you’re not taking the time to evaluate yourself as you do in the military.
In the military, we are trained to conduct an After Action Review (AAR) after every training event or ANY type of event we conduct, so we know how we can improve our training and overall mission.
So why don’t we take the time to do that in our personal lives as a woman of God, wife, mom, friend, and leader?
If it works in the military... it will work for YOU!
So in today's episode, I share 3 questions that will help you get a step closer to making progress.
I hope this episode blesses you and helps you make progress.
Much love,
Wendi

Finding hope during life's unexpected setbacks and challenges
Beyond the Military Podcast: Women Transitioning from the Military, Veteran Women, Confident in Life & Career, Transitioning out of the Military into the Civilian Sector
07/19/23 • 17 min
I want to let you in on a little secret... life is not always a walk in the park. Believe me, I'm experiencing something deeply emotionally draining right now. But here's the empowering part - we don't have to be perfect. In fact, it's perfectly okay to feel overwhelmed. Join me as we explore how we can navigate through life's unexpected setbacks and challenges, leaning on our faith, submitting to God's will, and the strength that he gracefully provides.
Overwhelm. The feeling that life is spinning out of control. But guess what? It's okay not to have all the answers, and it's okay to recognize that some things are simply out of our control. We'll discuss how staying close to God's Word and prayer can guide us, offering hope and strength despite the tumultuous storms of life. Remember, we're in this together, and God is always our source of hope. Stay connected, stay grounded, and let's navigate this journey together.

MVP: Judgmental thoughts about our actions
Beyond the Military Podcast: Women Transitioning from the Military, Veteran Women, Confident in Life & Career, Transitioning out of the Military into the Civilian Sector
11/15/23 • 22 min
Hey there, sis! Are you tired of the guilt, shame, and disappointment that often stems from self-judgment? We promise you're not alone. In today’s episode of , we talk judgment - its roots, its impacts, and how we can manage it in our daily lives. We all judge, and that's okay! It's part of being human. But how can we ensure it doesn't consume us or hamper our actions? That's what we're here to explore together.
Throughout this episode, we take an introspective journey into the depths of our judgmental thoughts. We don't just identify these thoughts; we challenge them, question them, and we learn how to turn them around. We all harbor lies that we tell ourselves, and it's about time we called them out, don't you think? By becoming mindful of our thought process and habitually reframing our negative thoughts, we can set a path towards truth and a healthier mindset. Now, that's a journey worth undertaking!
We also dive into the heart of our military community and highlight the blessings and challenges it brings. We look at the critical role of faith and spirituality in shifting our mindset and guiding us towards more positive decisions. Join us and let's navigate the choppy waters of self-judgment together.

Are you living on autopilot? 5 questions you need to ask yourself to redirect your mind and your life!
Beyond the Military Podcast: Women Transitioning from the Military, Veteran Women, Confident in Life & Career, Transitioning out of the Military into the Civilian Sector
08/18/21 • 19 min
Hey my fellow veteran,
Do you sometimes feel like you are living on autopilot? I know I did and it was because I didn't realize my mind needed supervision.
When you don't supervise your mind, it will take over and decide to run on autopilot for you.
Every decision you make is important.
Leaders decide and execute.
But when it comes to your personal goals, you decide to put them off... end up living on autopilot.
You can stop living on autopilot by managing one thought at a time.
Your brain is always searching for answers, so provide it with empowering answers.
Empowering answers (thoughts) require empowering questions.
In today's episode, I share with you 5 empowering questions that will provide you with empowering thoughts that are going to create the feelings you need to move closer to what really matters to you.
Enjoy!
Much love and appreciation,
Wendi
