  • Little Boots, Big Feelings
    Jul 7 2025

    Today's episode is about 👶🏽💭 tiny humans with huge feelings — let’s talk about it.

    In this special episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the emotional world of military kids. From missed birthdays 💔 to long deployments, our little ones carry more than their backpacks — they carry the weight of change, uncertainty, and resilience. 💪🏾


    Join us as we sit down with our own children to hear their side of the story — unfiltered, honest, and full of heart. 🥹 We’re also bringing Dad into the mix to reflect on parenting through distance, duty, and deep emotional moments.


    💬 Expect laughter, a few tears, and some real talk on how we can show up better for the smallest members of our military families. 🫠


    🎧 Press play and listen as we give voice to the emotions inside those little boots. #MissionMarriage #MilitaryKidsMatter #BigFeelings #LittleVoices #MilitaryFamilyLife #ChrisianaIRL #ChrisianaXO 🫶🏾

    This episode should be called, "When Only One of You Shows Up & It's Not Him" because I wasn’t supposed to record this episode alone… 🎧💔

    My husband and I had plans to connect—even from a distance. But when the time came, he checked out instead. 🕒➡️🫥 While I sat in silence waiting, he slipped into distraction, and I was left choosing presence over pretending.

    This one? It’s not cute. It’s not polished. It’s REAL. 🫀💬

    I talk about the sting of emotional unavailability, the weight of being the only one showing up, and the truth about loving someone who escapes when it gets heavy. 🏃‍♂️💭

    If you’ve ever held your relationship together while your partner drifted… this one’s for you. 💡🧍🏽‍♀️

    You’re not asking for too much. You’re just asking for a teammate. 👥❤️‍🔥


    🎙️ Raw truth

    📍 No filter

    📵 No sugarcoating

    🧠 Deep reflection

    👑 Full power reclaim


    Tap in, share it with your crew, and if you’re the one who’s always showing up… know that I see you. 🫶🏾💯

  • Home for a Moment: Making the Most of Short Visits
    Jun 23 2025

    💬 Episode Summary:

    What do you do when your spouse finally comes home… but only for 48 hours? 😩💕 You savor it, stress a little, laugh a lot, and maybe cry in the car when it’s over.

    In this episode, I’m joined by my favorite human—my husband 🫶🏽—and we’re getting real about what it’s like when 🖤military life💛 only gives us a moment to reconnect. From tight hugs to tight schedules, we open up about how these quick visits feel, what we try to prioritize, and how we’ve learned to hold space for both the joy and the tension. 🥴

    Whether you’ve had that two-day whirlwind or you’re still waiting for your turn, this episode will hit home. 🏠❤️



    👀 What to Expect:


    ✨ How we actually spend those 48 hours (hint: it’s not always sexy 🛒🍕🛌)

    ✨ The pressure to make every moment perfect—and why that’s not realistic

    ✨ Real talk on love, frustration, and feeling all the things at once 🧠💞

    ✨ How we stay connected and give each other grace through the come-and-go rhythm of military life 🫂🕰️



    💌 Favorite Quote:


    “Even if we only get a moment, we make it matter.” 🖤⏳
