Doing the Work: Therapy for Military Spouses w/ Alysha Stella

In this episode, we sit down with Alysha Stella, LCSW, to talk about therapy for military spouses—and why it’s so much more than “coping” with the lifestyle. We get into honest conversations about identity, boundaries, burnout, and what it actually looks like to show up as your authentic self when military life constantly asks you to shrink, adapt, or start over. Alysha brings clarity, compassion, and practical insight as we unpack how therapy can support military spouses. Whether you’re therapy-curious, already in the work, or just trying to figure out who you are outside of the role you play, this episode offers validation, permission, and a few well-timed gut checks.
