He's Serving Overseas. She's Serving at Home - Doris Brandford

Do you ever wonder what’s happening to a service member’s family while they are overseas?Who’s taking care of their children, for instance?In today's episode, I talk to Doris Branford who is an army wife. That means this young mother has to handle life at home while he serves overseas. Being a solo mom doesnt’ necessarily mean that you are single.But Doris doesn’t only take care of her young baby. She left her corporate job just before lockdown to start a new business as a Virtual Assistant. She's fearless, strong, and focused.I’ve been fortunate to be Doris’ client as she is very efficient and pays attention to details.So in the year of lockdown she started a new business, while having a baby under 2 years old. At the same time missing her husband who is serving overseas.Pardon the input from her baby but this is a mom show, right? :)Points we discussed:- If you want it bad enough, you have to make the sacrifices necessary to go after it.- success doesn’t equal happiness.- You can make excuses but action gets it doneLet us remember our service members, especially during the holiday season. Please include their families in your prayer and thoughts.Hire my VA: Skycee Virtual SolutionsCheck out  SoloMoms!
