On episode 10, I chat with K'Dee Kolle about her life as a flight surgeon’s wife! Her and her husband have known each other since high school and being a doctor is something he always wanted to do. Their family has had a very exciting and unique journey since he joined the Navy. There has been schools, trainings, they have had two babies, and PCSed three times in three years, so lots going on. Her advice is to celebrate all the minor victories and little things along the way.
She gives insight and tips for someone who’s spouse might have an irregular and unpredictable work schedule. Kdee says give yourself, your spouse, and your kids a lot of grace when going through a difficult season of life. Have things planned but also have low expectations for how that plan is going to go cause things always change. Speaking of change- their family have PCSed three times in the last three years! Her biggest advice is to make sure you know the schedule of how things are happening with your PCS and don’t stress too much cause somehow it all works out!
Kdee’s outlook on their journey is so wonderfully optimistic and their family seems to be thriving in this military life!
