In this week's podcast episode, I talk to RAAF spouse Nicole about why a mindset shift has totally changed the way she experiences defence life.

Nicole and I also talk about;

Meeting her now Husband while he was studying at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA)
Realising that the member doesn't just sign up for a job but a lifestyle
Moving to Newcastle for her husbands first posting and not being formally recognised as a couple
Trying to find housing, work and friends while not yet being entitled to any support
Feeling like she didn't fit and questioning whether the defence lifestyle was for her
Deciding to go forward with a different mindset to help her see the positives
Why having regular check-ins on her mental health is so important
What it's like to live on base in Richmond NSW and why it is a tick on her defence bucket list
Why signing up for spouse related activities, even if they aren't your thing, can lead to great friendships
