THE INSPIRATION & MOTIVATION YOU NEED TO TURN OFF AUTO-PILOT & LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE.
There’s a saying by Robert Byrne that goes something like this:
“The purpose of life is a life of purpose.”
But, how exactly can you achieve that?
After all, we live in a fast-paced world riddled with day-to-day distractions and demands.
Incoming texts and emails for the next to-do or request.
Calendar alerts on upcoming appointments, school pickups, or extracurricular functions.
Countdown app notifications that make you realize all you haven’t gotten done, but “need” to do before homecoming day arrives.
And, before you know it, just for the mere pleasure of checking things off your list, you end up moving through life at rapid speed while losing sight of your own needs, passions, and beliefs—the things that make you feel most alive.
Like a hamster spinning in its wheel, you feel you’re going nowhere, fast.
You go around and around in circles as you continuously equate doing more with being more.
You’ll be a better spouse, parent, friend, or overall human being if you tackle everything that’s on your plate and then some.
But, as a past, present, or future military spouse who regularly focuses on the needs of others, this way of thinking does not do your life justice!
That “good enough” feeling can only be found from within.
So, what do you say we stop rushing through the day-to-day and instead…
STOP & SMELL THE ROSES. Go beyond the busy, pulling from the depths of our hearts, to unveil how our choices—from how we choose to love, grow, spend, eat, and move—are connected to a greater sense of purpose.
Set aside some “You” time—whether at home or on-the-go—over the course of six days and get ready to take charge of your life.
The world needs you to show up being nothing but your most fulfilled self!
Ready to get off that hamster wheel & find fulfillment?
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE MILITARY SPOUSE WELLNESS SUMMIT?
Here at InDependent, we’re military spouses just like you. And, we know how challenging this life can be!
From countless moves, giving up careers, long-term separations, and conquering life overseas, the idea of consciously making time for yourself might seem nearly impossible.
That’s why we created the Military Spouse Wellness Summit.
We’re going on our fourth year of hosting a week-long virtual retreat for military spouses. Yes, past, present, and future!
We’re able to gather together—near or far, within the U.S. or overseas—from the comforts of our home, car, or office and unplug from the hustle and bustle. That way, we can truly revel in this opportunity to listen and learn from wellness experts who are seriously passionate about helping you set intentions to move forward into living life with purpose.
Did we mention the retreat is 100% virtual? Yes, check. But, we can’t celebrate that fact enough because you can sit back and relax thanks to:
No travel. No missed work. No childcare.
So, block off some time within your busy calendar, find a happy place to retreat to, and join more than 1,300 military spouses for a week that’s bound to leave you feeling inspired, connected, and ready to live a purposeful life.
Are you ready to make the shift toward living more purposefully?

How exciting is that?!
“Honestly, you ladies know how to put on a good party! I loved the interviews, but my favorite part was the All-Access FB group where I could interact with the participants and the organizers. Truly, this was a life-changing experience and made me change the way I think about my health and wellness.”
“Went above and beyond what I wanted for wellness guidance. Left each message feeling renewed and a more positive outlook on my situation.”
“Y’all couldn’t have made it easier or more accessible if you tried. Even if someone could only pick a couple of the topics that resonated with them to listen to, they’d still go away with that knowledge. ”
Really, what are you waiting for?
