Welcome back to an exciting new season of Hearts & Stripes podcast.  Season 5 is our Roller Coaster Season where we are looking at the highs and lows of service marriages.  In this episode we are catching up with 2020-2021 AFI Military Spouse of the Year, Paulette Fryar.  She shares some of the phenomenal organizations she is connected with and the resources available for military marriages.  Here is a quick look at the conversation highlights:

Mission Milspouse - https://missionmilspouse.org

Mission: Milspouse originally began as Army Wife Network founded in April 2009. At that time, it joined together what was previously known as Army Wife Talk Radio (est. 2005), Field Problems, and Loving A Soldier blog. Today, Army Wife Network fully rebranded to become Mission: Milspouse in January 2023 and is a fully-vetted 501(c)3 non-profit organization!
