“Hey MilSpouse, It’s Your Turn”: How to Reclaim Your Identity After Military Life

Shari Biery MilSpouse Transition Conversations
Milspouse Transition Conversations

For years, you’ve handled it all—PCS moves, deployments, last-minute changes—always putting your service member and family first. But now? It’s your turn.

In this episode of MilSpouse Transition Conversations, we’re diving into what it really means to rediscover yourself after military life with Shari Biery, a fellow MilSpouse turned purpose and well-being coach. When her veteran handed her a folded flag and said those three words—”It’s your turn.”—it sparked a journey of self-discovery that led to her new book, It’s Your Turn: How to Rediscover Yourself, Prioritize Your Well-Being & Thrive With Purpose.

If you’ve ever wondered Who am I now? or What’s next for me?, this episode is for you. We’re covering:

  • How to put yourself first (without feeling guilty)
  • Why transition is the perfect time to focus on yourself
  • Simple steps to reset, refocus, and create a future on your terms

No more waiting. No more “someday.” Your next chapter starts now.

The Conversation Q&A

  • Why are military spouses so reluctant to make choices that prioritize their needs?
  • You talk in your book about the “woman with the helium hand saying yes to everyone.” Can you talk a little bit more about how transition out of active duty military life can grab us in what you call the messy web?
  • What are three tips to help military spouses decipher who they are and what they want out of life as they navigate transition?
