Welcome
Our Mission
For Nearly Two Decades…
My Military Life has connected military spouses through conversations, community, events, and opportunities designed to help them thrive through every season of military life.
Whether you’re navigating a PCS, deployment, career transition, entrepreneurship, or life after military service, you’re not meant to do it alone.

Leadership
Developing confident, capable military spouse leaders who strengthen families, communities, organizations, and the next generation of military spouses.
Portable Careers
Helping military spouses build meaningful work, businesses, and opportunities that can move with them wherever military service takes them.

CPO Spouse Connect
A leadership-focused experience designed for Chief Petty Officer spouses and significant others presented in collaboration with The Enlisted Leadership Foundation.

Created to support spouses at every stage of the Chief journey, CPO Spouse Connect provides opportunities to learn, ask questions, build meaningful connections, and strengthen the community surrounding Navy Chief families.

The Military Creator & Leadership Intensive
Ideas Into Action
In August 2026, military-connected creators, leaders, and entrepreneurs came together in San Diego for the inaugural Military Creator & Leadership Intensive, presented by USAA.
The hands-on experience was designed for people ready to build something meaningful on their own terms. Attendees explored vision and mindset, publishing, podcasting, business building, financial confidence, and leadership while developing a 90-day plan to keep moving forward.
