Maybe we're just two little birds in a tree, and if our wings are working, we better jump off this bridge and see, hey, this one isn't up to me.
Parenting is never easy, but for April, it's a whole different ball game. As a military spouse, she spends much of the year holding down the fort while her husband is away with the special forces. With two kids aged 11 and 8, April navigates the ups and downs of solo parenting, balancing household duties, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with long separations. Despite these challenges, she’s not putting her dreams on hold.
April is pursuing a doctorate and teaching at local universities wherever the family is stationed. In this episode, April shares her unique story, revealing how she manages to create meaningful family moments despite the distance. She talks about the importance of communication and finding joy in the little things. Whether it's tackling cultural differences or just making the most of the time they have together, April’s story is a testament to resilience and love.
Tune in to hear how she juggles it all and still finds time for herself.
