Welcome to the season four premiere of the Lifegiver podcast!
I’ve returned from my winter sabbatical with new vision for this year and that includes great plans for season 4. When it all comes down to it, it’s all about YOU.
In this first episode, I’ll briefly share about my plans to make the podcast far more interactive in 2019 as well as talking about the results of a spouse survey I created that went viral. Almost 750 spouses told me how they are REALLY doing and it turns out…
We have lots to talk about.
I wasn’t surprised that we are struggling as a community. Many of you aren’t doing well and you aren’t talking about it. In fact, many are burned out, exhausted, and borderline resentful. So in this episode we are going to get honest about that.
But there are some of you who are really doing great. So what is the difference? Take a listen to find out where you fall with other spouses in the community. Perhaps you need some encouragement who are figuring out how to balance it all or maybe you have a lot more to offer than you thought…
It’s time to breathe life into our family- the community family as well.

Brief 02: The Rhetoric of Lethality
The vocabulary of and toward the military has narrowed to a single attribute — and the person who carries it has been edited out.
Maximum lethality. Hunt, and kill. Without mercy. None of it is wrong — they are warfighters. But this brief traces where that register has worked, where it has failed, and what it asks of the people who must live inside it.
Brief 01: Follow the Money: The Warrior Ethos, Redefined
The FY2027 $350 billion mandatory defense request, and what the Warrior Ethos banner funds now.
The language calls it the Warrior Ethos. The scope has changed. This brief walks through three connected shifts in 2026 — in words, money, and how the institution treats the people who sustain the force — and what they mean for military families.
