A candid conversation about being a USNA parent and riding the roller coaster of shifting and evolving relationships and emotions during the four years at USNA and beyond. This episode will tie together various aspects from Episodes 1, 2, 5, 7, and 9, with special guest, my husband Jeff.
Staying on Mission
My goal is to support, equip, and empower USNA parents with strength, knowledge, and wisdom to navigate this unique journey successfully. MidMoms and MidDads are a different breed: we stick together, we are resilient, we are faithful, we are not strangers but are lifelong friends - even if we have never met. We will always share the lifelong bond of our Mid's journey and, of course, like our Mids, we Never Give Up the Ship!
