I have Kylee Burton on the podcast with me today. She is a full time student, a newborn photographer and blogs over at thebutronbutton.home.blog. Her husband is currently on an unaccompanied tour in Korea and we talk about what that is like, how she is dealing with it, and she gives some great tips if any of you are going through something similar.
Kylee reiterates the importances of communication and setting time aside for each other especially during a long distance relationship. Her and her husband have a giant time difference (13 hours) to deal with and they still make time for each other! She mentions how nights are tough and missing experiences with each other is not great.
Kylee says the key to staying sane is staying busying, starting a new hobby, taking it day by day and allowing your dogs to sleep on the bed with you ;) She also mentions that taking care of your mental health is very important and taking a step back from social media might help with that.
Kylee mentions this podcast episode about traveling with dogs and this episode about "dependa."
