Raising Resilience: The Military Family Way

Raising Resilience: The Military Family Way

This month on Orange Gum, in honor of Month of the Military Child, we’re spotlighting the tough stuff, the good stuff, and everything in between. We’re joined by our guy Dustin Hughes (basically a superhero spouse, dad, and defender in boots) who shares how military families are shaped by resilience, adventure, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you grew up on base or just want to understand this community a little better, this one’s all about the strength of military kids and the families who raise them.

Hope in Action: Showing Up for Yourself & Others

We explore what it means to be present and supportive, both for ourselves and the people around us, particularly when things are uncertain. A lot of us are feeling down right now, so we wanted to have some real talk about how hope isn't just something that happens to us. It's something we actively build through our actions, small acts of kindness, and by choosing to connect with others.
