As military families, we have the opportunity - and the challenge - of moving from community to community. In the process we can make friends with people from across the country. Sometimes when you move somewhere new, you have the good fortune of reconnecting with an old friend - someone you knew years ago in another time in another place - and to rekindle your friendship.
Catherine Grant met our co-host Claudia Beswick when they were both posted to Wainwright early in their journeys as military spouses. Recently, they had the opportunity to reconnect when Catherine and her family moved to Pembroke.
Catherine is from St. John’s Newfoundland. She now lives with Pembroke, and is the owner of The Bath Boutique.
Catherine’s husband Will recently retired from the Canadian Armed Forces after a 20-year career.
In this episode we talk about:
· life as new military spouses,
· the importance of connecting with friends and community, and
· our best advice for anyone starting out – or making the transition to post-service life.
We also share our funniest stories about our experiences in a military family.
