- Season 1

(2018)

"Cynthia" focuses on what it is like to go from having a stable career to facing losing that when you marry someone in the military. It further explores stereotypes military spouses deal with in regards to maintaining their own personal and professional goals.

Katrina is a brand new wife right out of undergrad living in Japan. Her story focuses on learning the ropes as a spouse, figuring out how to best support the other families around her, finding purpose when it's hard to find a job, and creating her own sense of stability.

Peter has battled the unique stereotypes male military spouses face, in addition to the shock of losing a job due to a sudden international PCS. He is a strong supporter of female service members and discusses his opinion on their status in the military.

Meet Marie, a young wife who expresses the struggle she feels being so far away from family while raising young children. She explores the benefits and hardships of military family life, and what she believes people think they know about being a military family, but can't understand unless they themselves experience it.

Tiffany is a Coast Guard spouse who discusses how difficult it can be to find employment even (or especially) with a degree and education, and the shocking advice people often give her. She works to bridge the gap between spouses of different ranks and branches; and serves as a mentor to younger spouses who need a helping hand so they may begin to feel steady.

Sarah is an inspiring force with a servant's heart who has rallied with a husband battling PTSD to support their three children, and she comes armed with a masters degree and utter determination.

Anne is a woman who chooses to be a stay at home mom and champion to younger spouses in her community. She discusses how often civilians, even those close to spouses, have a fairy tale expectation of what military family life looks like.

Allison is a powerhouse woman who takes "you can't do that" and turns right back and says "watch me". Her creativity has transformed the face of her community in Italy where local laws make it nearly impossible for spouses to find legal and consistent work. She has spearheaded a community theater and revamped the School Ages Care program and began a Performing Arts division in a very short time. Her persistence in the face of adversity is inspiring.
