The InDependent Spouse Podcast


The weekly InDependent Spouse podcast is a series of fun, informative podcasts for the military spouse business owner

The InDependent Spouse podcast was born from a need to hear something new.

A need to hear from the inspirational men and women who experience service life from the ‘home-front’ while creating successful businesses.

To give a voice to those who are already achieving amazing things, and to inspire those who dream of doing the same.

As the traditional role of the ‘military spouse’ continues to evolve in line with the military itself, it seems only fitting to reflect these changes in a modern way. What’s also clear is the importance of developing your own role; one that gives you, the spouse, your own voice while also complimenting that of the service member.

In this series, Jess, a current military spouse running a business while living the ‘magnolia wall life’, explores the world of running a business by chatting to inspiring military entrepreneurs who do the same.

 So sit back and listen to their personal stories. Hopefully one day we’ll hear from you!

Today I’ve been chatting to some amazing women who have founded Strength Behind the Strong.

Sharon, Emma and Vanessa are from the very first Military Wives Choirs in the BBC television show, The Choir with Gareth Malone. Together with a number of other military wives they volunteered their time and worked together to create the charity The Military Wives Choirs Foundation. A legacy of the success of the No.1 single ‘Wherever You Are’, the charity has gone on to support thousands of women in the military community signing in choirs.

Now, led by Sharon, they are focused on bridging the gap in support of military wives and their families with Strength Behind the Strong.

Strength Behind the Strong emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. A desire to help women just like us in their everyday lives and in times of crisis. 

I really hope you enjoy this very special episode.
