On this week's podcast episode, I speak with spouse Freya about her quick introduction to defence life after meeting her RAAF guy through Tinder and three months later posting across the country with him.

Freya and I also talk about;

·                     Why she decided to follow her heart and jump in feet first

·                     Making the hard decision to leave her cats behind in WA

·                     Why they could not move into a DHA property and finding a rental

·                     Going into defence life with no expectations or information

·                     The first year together and huge milestones- a new relationship, a new location

·                     The realisation that her defence member was going to be away a lot

·                     Her decision to get out into the community and connect

·                     Why it took Freya around 12 months to start finding friends & supports

·                     Freya’s nursing career and why nursing is and isn’t a great fit for defence life

·                     The decision to start her own photography business and the reality of that

·                     Posting back to Perth WA, and what that means for her business

·                     The comfort she feels after learning defence friends are also posting to WA

·                     Future plans, a possible transition out and where Freya would like to end up
