Are you a military spouse struggling to keep your career going while juggling all the competing demands of military life? This book offers a glimpse into the lives of other military spouses who have faced the same challenges and reflect candidly about the good, the bad, and the ugly of their experiences. In addition to sharing these real-life stories gathered in her research, Michelle Still Mehta offers a strategy for managing the conflicts so many military spouses encounter. This 3 M framework provides practical advice in three key areas that must be balanced in order to sustain your career:• Marriage: What support do you need from your spouse to make a career possible?• Motherhood / Fatherhood: What are your expectations and needs as a parent and how do they mesh with your career plans?• Military Life: What aspects of military life need to be reconciled with your career goals (e.g., deployments, unpredictable work schedules, PCS moves)?Michelle Still Mehta, PhD, is a consultant, researcher, writer, and coach specializing in military spouse employment, the psychology of working life, and organizational change. Through her writing, Dr. Mehta hopes to promote open dialogue and positive culture change within the military community.
