Feature Spotlight Written By: Jen McDonald
I’m Jen McDonald and I was a military spouse for nearly three decades until my husband’s retirement, and I’m also the mom of an active duty son. My heart is for military families!

I published my book You Are Not Alone: Encouragement for the Heart of a Military Spouse to offer a helping hand and a whisper of “You’ve got this!” to other military spouses as you make your own way through the challenges of military life. I hope to celebrate the great moments with you, commiserate when it’s not so easy, and point you to some hard-won wisdom and helpful resources.
Most of all, I want to remind you that you’re not alone on this military spouse journey. I launched my podcast, Milspouse Matters, in 2018 to offer support for military families and share the stories of other military spouses. With listeners all over the world, the show continues to grow and has ranked in the top 50 of its category on Apple Podcasts!

Whether it’s a deployment, move, or raising military kids, my goal is to bring you real-life inspiration and hope from someone who’s been there.
