Navigating Navy Life with Confidence: Inside Navy Services FamilyLine w/ Morgan Reister

Association of Military Spouse Entrepreneurs w/ Moni Jefferson

In this episode, we sit down with Moni Jefferson, founder of AMSE Agency (Association of Military Spouse Entrepreneurs), for a conversation that blends inspiration, real-deal business wisdom, and the power of community...plus a very important discussion about the *perfect nachos*. Moni shares her journey as a military spouse entrepreneur and the “why” behind building AMSE Agency as a space rooted in connection, collaboration, and togetherness. We talk about what it really takes to grow a business in military life, how community changes everything, and why you don’t have to do it alone (even if you’re used to figuring things out solo). Come for the entrepreneurial insight, stay for the encouragement—and yes, leave with nacho opinions you didn’t know you needed.

Doing the Work: Therapy for Military Spouses w/ Alysha Stella

In this episode, we sit down with Alysha Stella, LCSW, to talk about therapy for military spouses—and why it’s so much more than “coping” with the lifestyle. We get into honest conversations about identity, boundaries, burnout, and what it actually looks like to show up as your authentic self when military life constantly asks you to shrink, adapt, or start over. Alysha brings clarity, compassion, and practical insight as we unpack how therapy can support military spouses. Whether you’re therapy-curious, already in the work, or just trying to figure out who you are outside of the role you play, this episode offers validation, permission, and a few well-timed gut checks.

Dear Salty: Why is OCONUS the worst?

PCSing overseas can be the worst. The process to actually move overseas is ridiculous. Then you get to a whole different world where the isolation hits harder, nothing works the way it “should,” and suddenly even buying groceries feels like an Olympic sport. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about why overseas moves can knock military spouses flat—and why it’s okay to hate parts of it. And then… there’s the plot twist. Because if you’re willing (and we mean willing, not just magically or toxically positive), overseas life can also be wildly life-changing. It’s not all sunshine and sushi—but sometimes it is really dang worth it.
