about us
The story behind The Military Spouse Show, the community we’ve built, and the mission that continues to guide us.
Originally launched as Navy Wife Radio in 2007, The Military Spouse Show has spent nearly two decades helping military spouses navigate military life, pursue meaningful goals, and build what’s next beyond military service.
What began as a podcast during the early days of podcasting has evolved into a platform focused on connection, personal growth, leadership, entrepreneurship, and intentional living.
Through more than 200 podcast episodes, community events, speaking engagements, and coaching conversations, Wendy Poling and Dr. Krista Wells have created opportunities for military spouses to connect, learn, and grow through every season of military life.
Today, The Military Spouse Show continues that mission by sharing practical conversations, actionable insights, and encouraging stories that help military spouses build meaningful lives, careers, and communities wherever military service takes them.
