Squared Away

Beyond Orders is a podcast hosted by Michelle Penczak, founder of Squared Away and military spouse on a mission to break the mold. This show shines a spotlight on military spouses who are challenging expectations, creating opportunity, and stepping far outside the traditional narrative. Through honest conversations and bold stories, Michelle sits down with spouses who have built businesses, forged new careers, and found purpose beyond the PCS cycle. It’s about reinvention, resilience, and rewriting the rules...on your own terms. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, solidarity, or that extra nudge to think bigger, Beyond Orders is your reminder that while orders may move us, they don’t define us. Because military life may be unpredictable, but your potential doesn’t have to be.
