Emma and I also talk about;

• Why she was the one to suggest an Army career to her partner

• Going from living together to living apart during training
• The plan to reunite, moving and finding her feet in a new location
• What happened when her partner changed direction
• How COVID had a positive impact on Emma’s plans and fast-tracked her partner's training
• Finding work, setting up her own business and making connections
• Falling pregnant and posting into a new location
• Feeling her way through their first posting
• Why the time Emma had put into online connections made finding friends in her new location so much easier
• Re-establishing her business in a new location and why she decided to set up a Biz Network to help others
