War heroes are generally made on the front lines, but what about the unsung heroes left behind--the spouses of the men and women who defend our nation in uniform? Those who put their own careers on hold to move between duty stations every two or three years or raise children as single parents while their significant others serve on lengthy deployments? Catholic author Michelle Still Mehta, Ph.D., is a consultant, coach, researcher, and writer specializing in military spouse employment. Her new book, "Silent Sacrifice on the Homefront," now available on Amazon, shares the real-life quests of military spouses to fit career with marriage, motherhood, and military life. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Dr. Mehta shares her own story as well as theirs, and she offers advice on how military spouses can better integrate their own career aspirations with married life in the service.
