Milspouse careers so often get paused, set aside, laid down, or otherwise given up in the demands of moving and single parenting…

But I have a more than a few friends who have made their passions a reality in the midst of military life and I wanted to share a few of them here!

1. The Fragrant Bean is passionate about connecting friends and family around the globe through meaningful gifts. Because scent is tied so strongly to memory, the Duty Station Collection was designed to help military families create scent memories in each place they call home! All of the candles are made with soy wax and hand-poured in small batches with high-quality ingredients. Each premium grade, phthalate-free fragrance oil is handpicked and meticulously tested in order to provide you with beautiful, uniquely scented candles.

2. Second Wind Wellness seeks to reconstruct the feminine fitness industry with straightforward, science-based health and fitness coaching tailored to the client. While cultural norms push diet and exercise to achieve a particular body type, Second Wind creates a health space that joins mental and physical growth on a path to sustainability.
