The InDependent Spouse Podcast: 053 : Dr Jill Jackson

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!

053 : Dr Jill Jackson

Oct 8, 2021

Hello you lovely lot, welcome to episode 6 of this 5th series of The InDependent Spouse.

Today is a great episode if you are a parent, or a parent to be. I’ve been chatting to Dr Jill. Maternity doctor and founder of The Birth Café.

But, just before the interview I need to tell you about the amazing work from The Royal British Legion, who sponsor this series.

The RBL know that families are the most important support structure within the serving community. But time spent apart during exercises and operations has its challenges and can strain any relationship. As the UK’s largest Armed Forces charity, the RBL works with its partners to support us when we need a bit of support ourselves. They are here for us 365 days a year, even if it’s just for a phone call to talk to a friendly voice. Head over to rbl.org.uk for more info.

Today I’ve been talking to Dr Jill, who has a wealth of experience as a maternity doctor, and as a military partner knows first-hand the sorts of challenges we face as parents in the armed forces community.

I hope you enjoy todays episode with Dr Jill.
