from More Than a Milspouse | mindset, clarity, work-life balance, create a purpose-fueled life as a military spouse, Milspouse Mastermind · host Christine Hinrichs | Military Spouse Mindset Coach, Clarity Coach, Military Life & Business Coach

As a military spouse, it can be tempting to play small…to set small goals…or to not set goals at all. Perhaps you are PCSing this year, or you know your spouse will be gone a lot, or your kids are at an age where it feels impossible to pursue any of your own passions. Of course, there will be challenges and obstacles that get in the way of you pursuing your goals. In fact, you might not achieve your goals. And you might feel discouraged or defeated. So does that mean you shouldn’t set goals? In this episode we’re talking about whether it makes sense to set goals for your season of life, what happens when you don’t set goals, and what I think you should do instead.
