95. How to Exercise Patience while Pursuing Passions Active-Duty (ft. Arabia Shanklin, Actress + Naval Officer)

Do you feel like your Active-Duty service in the military is
keeping you from pursing outside passions? Do you feel like your
goals have an expiration date and that your service in the
military is getting in the way of personal goals outside of your
career? Well, STOP feeling that way and START changing your
mindset--we're teaching you how. I'm approached by so many of you
amazing listeners + followers (love you guys, btw!!) who want to
pursue personal goals while also serving Active-Duty and have a
passion to #doBoth. Whether you're trying to attack fitness
goals, an Esty hobby, or acting on the side, there are small
steps you can start making every day as well as milestones in
your career to hit as your work toward these outside goals, but
it starts with patience, intention, and determination.





In this episode, I'm sitting down with Arabia Shanklin, Naval
Officer and Actress, who is an expert at balancing both her
service to country and professional acting career. We both speak
candidly how we prioritized our careers first but kept our
personal goals within reach along the way. We are digging into
tips as to how you can, too, balance both your career in service
and patiently pursue your personal goals and hobbies. Grab your
notebooks, as multi-passionate women we have a lot to share about
our trial, errors, and successes along the way.
