This week, Tisa Schmidt, a behavior analyst, mother of four, and milspouse of 7 years, generously shares her experiences with partnership, marriage, and motherhood in this milspouse life, including how Tisa and her husband have crafted a life that grounds her and their family permanently in her hometown. Tisa walks us through what it takes to overcome stereotypes and personal bias, how you know that your person is “the one,” and what it’s like to share life and parenthood with a frequently absent spouse. Thank you so much for sharing your story with the project, Tisa!
