Before you leave, you think you know what it means to deploy. But the reality? You don't really know what you are in for. It changes everything.

In this episode, we talk about the emotional weight of deployment, the anticipation, the distance, the impact on family, and the moment you realize life doesn’t pause just because you’re gone.

We share our personal experiences navigating our first deployment:

•The mindset before that first deployment

•How being away affects your marriage, your kids, and your mental health

•What reintegration really looks like (and why it’s harder than people think)

•And the long-term ripple effects that deployments leave behind

This isn’t just about military duty, it’s about what happens when your world splits in two: the mission and the people you love.

For every veteran who deployed and every family who waited, this one’s for you.
