In today’s inspiring episode, we welcome a first: a military spouse, mother of two, content creator, and Expecting and Empowered App Affiliate - Corrie Lynn! Corrie joins us to share her unique experience navigating motherhood and military life, and how she’s rewriting the narrative with positivity, resilience, and intentionality.

After moving to their first base only a few short months before their first child was born, they leaned heavily into their new community of the other military families to build their own “village”! Whether you are military or civilian, creating your village is so key to feeling supported when you’re parenting through a tough season of life. She also touches on the mindset shift required in both motherhood and military life, where it can often feel like decisions are out of your hands. Corrie reminds us that we do have the power to influence our daily lives and encourages women to embrace that power through the choices they make each day. Another big way to keep your “self” during hard times is to find time to do the things that make you happy. Corrie encourages us to use our gifts and talents in your current situation that not only brings you joy, but may be a contribution to your community. As always on this podcast, we discuss the importance of movement and exercise in motherhood. Corrie shares how she prioritizes fitness as a military spouse and busy mom, offering helpful strategies for making movement more accessible and consistent. She also opens up about why she loves the Expecting and Empowered App and how it has supported her wellness journey through pregnancy and postpartum! To wrap up the episode, Corrie gives us a peek into her practical and grounded approach to family finances within the military lifestyle.
