Finding My Voice

If you haven't caught on, there is a pattern developing here!
From now until January, Lifegiver will have a new episode every
payday which means two a month! I will be bringing you tips and
topics from me during one and the other episode will be an
interview with an inspirational military spouse. This week is no
exception! Erin Whitehead has achieved what many spouses dream of
achieving. She is a Marine spouse who loves her husband dearly
and followed him everywhere the Military sent him. In this
episode, she shares what it was like right after 9/11 to be a
military family. As a counselor, I know the power that journaling
and writing can have during difficult times. Erin describes how
writing helped her get through several deployments, each unique
in their difficulty. She also opens up about how military spouse
community surrounded her and helped her through loss and moving
forward. Seeing the power of finding her own words, she created
Many Kind Regards, a blog-writing and coaching business that has
helped hundreds of writers including military spouses find their
voice on paper- if not the computer screen. "Our goal is to help
writers create meaningful, effective content that engages an
online audience. " Erin WhiteheadFollowing her dreams didn't end
there. Her volunteer work earned her the 2010 Armed Forces
Insurance Marine Spouse of the Year and a spot on The American
Military Spouse Choir that performed on Season 8’s America's Got
Talent. I encourage you to take a moment and watch their
performance here. In this candid interview, listen to Erin's
story of how she got through difficult times separated from her
husband, the power of the military spouse community, and the
wisdom she has to share as her husband is about to retire. You
wont want to miss this one.
