So many people in the military community carry hard-earned knowledge from their careers, side hustles, and lived experiences, but aren't always sure how to turn it into consistent income aligned with their lives.

Here is the encore airing of Transforming Your Knowledge into Profitable Memberships with Stu McLaren, a standout episode that reminds us your expertise has value, and that building something meaningful doesn't have to mean burning yourself out. It's a motivating listen as you reflect on what you know, what you've learned, and what might be possible next.

Feeling behind can sneak up on you. It's not always about the numbers. It's that constant sense that you should be further along, more caught up, more on top of things than you are. And for military families, that feeling can hit even harder when life keeps moving, whether you're ready or not.

In this episode, I'm sharing a quick financial reset. Not a full overhaul or a long to-do list. Just a steady way to pause, get your footing, and decide what actually deserves your attention right now.

Saving money is something most people want to do or are already doing, but where that money sits often gets overlooked. A lot of service members and spouses are doing the right thing by spending less than they make and saving money, but your savings might not be working to its fullest potential for you. And that can slow your progress, even when you're trying hard.

In this episode, I'm talking about high-yield savings accounts, what they are, how to choose the right one for your life, and how to maintain it. I'm going to share some strategies you can use and stick with, especially during military life.

The start of a new year brings a lot of pressure. Pressure to fix everything, do more, be better, and somehow come up with a brand-new version of yourself at the stroke of midnight. And for many military families and others who feel financially or personally behind, that pressure can feel overwhelming instead of motivating.

In this episode, I want to share a more straightforward approach to goals, one that I personally use, especially as I head into 2026. It's not about doing more. It's about creating space, trusting your gut, and taking steady action on the things that will actually bring you peace and joy.

As we close out the year and look ahead to what's possible, this felt like the right moment to revisit a meaningful conversation on the show. Building wealth in the military isn't about quick wins. It's about clarity, confidence, and playing the long game, even when life gets unpredictable.

Here is the encore airing of Building Wealth for Military Families with Jerry Quinn, one of my top episodes of 2025 and a powerful reminder that consistent, values-driven decisions can shape a strong financial future. A fitting note of inspiration as we head into 2026.

Most of us spend years chasing success without ever stopping to ask what "living well" really means. We talk about building wealth or hitting financial milestones, but often overlook the two resources that matter most: our time and our health.

In this episode, Navy pilot Zach Rodriguez shares about how a near-fatal helicopter mishap pushed him to rethink everything from what success looks like to how we care for our bodies and our finances. Zach shares the journey that led him from aviation to helping people align their money with their well-being.

For many veterans, the hardest part of leaving the military isn't the transition, it's figuring out what to do with the physical and mental wear-and-tear of service. Too many walk away without documenting injuries, without understanding the claims process, or believing they don't "deserve" benefits because someone else had it worse. But overlooking a VA disability claim can affect your health, your income, and the opportunities you.

In this episode, Jex Roach, a Marine Corps veteran, Army spouse, financial counselor, and founder of FinanciFI Coaching shares practical guidance to help veterans move from uncertainty to financial and personal stability. We talk about how VA disability really works, why the process is more legal than medical, and what to do when you receive back pay or have delays that create financial stress.

The financial risks facing service members today look nothing like they did 10 or 15 years ago. There used to be real barriers. A literal base gate stood between you and companies that didn't have your best interests at heart. Commanders could keep bad actors out. The Department of War could set policies and say "nope, not on installations." But that world is gone.

Today, the enemy isn't standing at the gate trying to get in. The enemy is already in your pocket. It's in your phone, your apps, and the ads. It's also the algorithms, the late-night scrolling, and the "veteran-recommended" investment opportunities that sound legit but are, in most cases, not.

In this episode, I'm talking about why service members and military spouses must take ownership of their financial safety in a world where financial predators don't need physical base access anymore, and how you can build your own gate since the old one doesn't exist.
