EP110 V for Valentines
Monday Feb 14, 2022
Monday Feb 14, 2022
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!! Today we are talking about V for Valentine’s. I’m sharing five things to keep in mind to strengthen your military marriage. Our goal here at Hearts & Stripes podcast is to continue to provide resources and tools to keep your relationship thriving. Keep in mind, it’s never too late to start getting intentional about your marriage. Here are five Vs for Valentine’s.
Validate : Take the time to listen and validate your spouse. A great technique to use to accomplish this is active listening. Steps to active listening include listening, empathize, repeat what is shared, normalize their feelings with understanding and bonuses are being able to add body language, eye contact & touch.
Vacation : Plan opportunities to getaway. This may look like an actual trip, staycation or even a mental getaway. It’s not about the dollar amount, but rather valuing the time spent together.
Vow : Valentine's Day is known as a day of love. Nothing says I love you like commitment and covenant. Reflecting and reminding one another of the vows that you have taken is a beautiful way to connect/reconnect or hit the reset button on your relationship.
Value : Get intentional about showing your spouse that you value them. A great way to do this is by using their love language. Saying and showing your partner that they are valued is a great way to stay #milmarriagestrong
Victory : When you win, I win & we win! It’s no surprise that we are all about celebration here at Hearts & Stripes. Acknowledging the wins in your relationship is a tip that we absolutely love sharing. It shifts your focus as a couple to positivity and progress, which can help keep the momentum going.

EP107 Marriage & Leadership with Space Force Command Spouse Mollie Raymond
Monday Jan 24, 2022
Monday Jan 24, 2022
It’s a new year and we are coming in strong with the Marriage & Leadership series! Over the next few weeks we will hear from our Armed Forces leaders as each shares their marriage stories, lessons learned and advice for #milmarriage. This series demonstrates that caring for our military families means that we care for our military marriages, which is a priority amongst our leaders. Lean in as we have a heart to heart to gain lessons on love, marriage and leadership with those shaping our service branches for a better tomorrow.
Representing the Space Force we have Mrs. Mollie Raymond!
Bio
Mollie Raymond is the Spouse to the First Chief of Space Operations, United States Space Force. Mrs Raymond is married to General John "Jay" Raymond, the first Chief of Space Operations, United States Space Force. Mollie has traveled all over the world as a military spouse and has moved 19 times during her time. She has long been a champion for military spouses and families working tirelessly to support them through promoting family engagements, building connections, and creating a sense of community. With the stand-up of the sixth and newest branch of the Armed Services, Mollie is humbled to serve alongside Jay during these historic times. Her focus will be to support and advocate for Space Families while upholding the Space Force’s worldwide necessity, heritage, and culture.
Top Points:
The MilMarriage Story
From a church tour to a co-ed volleyball team, the Raymonds met and connected quickly based on having the same core values. After 5 months they were engaged to be married. They had a long engagement in Grand Forks, North Dakota before a PCS took them to California. That move was difficult for Mollie as her first time away from family. She describes the transition as being very difficult. In hindsight she learned the importance of working together and supporting one another through transition especially when it’s harder on one spouse more than another.
Mattrice’s Top Tips For Servant Leadership in Life & Marriage:
- Respect what your spouse is saying. Validate your partner's feelings and acknowledge what they are communicating to you. This will help make your spouse feel understood and loved.
- “Listen more and talk less.” Mollie shares how key communication is and creates dedicated time to listen. Making a point to set aside time to talk and share what's on one another plate is .
- Affirm and compliment your spouse. “It’s important to lift one another up… He needs to hear those things.” Mollie highlights how they
- Marriage is a partnership. Being a team member, working out goals, capitalizing on strengths and respecting one another are key in marriage and leadership. “Everyone brings something to the table.” Mollie continues by stating,“Trust, integrity, communication, those are all a part of leadership and essential in our marriage.”
Marriage & Leadership Advice:
- Embrace opportunity. You may not always succeed, but you learn and grow from them.
- Make time together a priority and have fun. Take advantage of the 5ks and activities on installation.
- Be aware of when your spouse needs a pick-me-up and make time to do things together.
- A good leader admits when they are wrong. Be humble, forgive and be forgiven.

EP106 Marriage & Leadership with Marine Spouse Mattrice Williamson
Monday Jan 17, 2022
Monday Jan 17, 2022
It’s a new year and we are coming in strong with the Marriage & Leadership series! Over the next few weeks we will hear from our Armed Forces leaders as each shares their marriage stories, lessons learned and advice for #milmarriage. This series demonstrates that caring for our military families means that we care for our military marriages, which is a priority amongst our leaders. Lean in as we have a heart to heart to gain lessons on love, marriage and leadership with those shaping our service branches for a better tomorrow.
Representing the Marine Corps we have Mattrice Williamson!
Bio:
Mattrice Williamson is a Hospitality Director and Special Events Manager. She has spent nearly three decades leading, coaching, mentoring and supporting military families. Leading, learning, and legacy building is how Mattrice has chosen to journey through military life with her Marine. Mattrice’s personal and professional career path has afforded her the opportunity to work and serve with several non-profit organizations. Servant leadership is a lifestyle for Mattrice as she enjoys sharing her “TAGS” (Talent, Ability, Gift, and Skills) with others.
As a 27-year Marine Corps spouse and mother of three, Mattrice has had the opportunity to navigate through multiple deployments, relocations, career challenges and life changes. She has been inspired by mentors in her life to find her voice and tell her story; she encourages others to do the same. Her purpose and passion drive her to continue leading and motivating others to be ‘mission ready’ for whatever life brings. Living in Purpose on Purpose is their family motto.
Top Points:
- The MilMarriage Story Mattrice dated her husband to be through their college years and made the 2% club of Naval Academy couples to survive all four years. The couple met in church in the 90s and started as friends. She credits the strength of their relationship to their foundation of friendship and being great listeners. The Williamsons married in 1994.
Mattrice’s Top Tips For Servant Leadership in Life & Marriage:
- Understanding and mutual respect are key. Know and respect who each person is as individuals. She notes the importance of being committed to the relationship and the journey as you operate with understanding & mutual respect.
- Find mentorship. Seek it out and connect with others so you can ask, “will I survive this?”. Mattrice recalls that her mentors were in her life for a moment, but she soon became the mentor. Paying it forward is a part of being a leader.
- “You have seasons in your life. Those seasons come and go.” Mattrice learned to step back and edit her life as the seasons change. She asked herself, “Who was I between the leaves of the tree?” Introspection is key at all seasons.
- Mattrice’s husband encouraged her to stop looking for the mentor she felt she needed and step into being that mentor and pouring into others. Her philosophy of servant leadership is modeled as she presently supports and mentors spouses.
- As a Marine Corps spouse and mom she finds ways to connect with other people & families. As a family, the Williamsons are intentional about plugging in with Marine & Family Programs for orientations, programs and workshops. The more Mattrice learned and applied, the better she could connect by simply getting to know others. She became an advocate for our military resources, because she personally experienced loneliness in earlier years due to not knowing about what was available to her.
Marriage & Leadership Advice:
Resources are underutilized. When programs are not utilized they will go away as it’s seen as a waste of resources. “If you know something that has worked for you, share it!...Join the club.”- Mattrice Williamson
The responsibility is with each of us. You can be a leader right where you are by sharing the resources you are aware of.

The MilMarriage Story
They at Ft Bragg, NC NCO Club in June of 1993. Dated off and on for 3 years and recently celebrated 25 years of marriage.
“We don’t get caught up as much in the single day as we do cherishing everyday with one another.” - CMSAF Bass

Chief shares about having meaningful conversation with her spouse. They are more meaningful about caring for their relationship today than they’ve ever been and appreciate individual time. “I just need you to listen and not fix things.” - CMSAF Bass
Chief models how to allow your partner to mentally prepare for discussions by stating, “When you have time, I really need to talk to you about something, but it should take about 20 minutes of focused time.” This allows them to come to the conversation prepared, as opposed to demanding to talk whenever only one individual is ready.

EP103 Unwrap & Recap of EP054 with Juvilyn Garcia
Monday Dec 27, 2021
Monday Dec 27, 2021
Happy Holidays! During this season of gratitude and joy we are going back and unwrapping the gems found in past episodes that we may need to listen to again before 2022. Joining me for this Unwrap & Recap series is my guest co-host Juvilyn Garcia. Juvilyn is the 2020-2021 Armed Forces Insurance MCRD San Diego Spouse of the Year & our Hearts & Stripes episode 50 guest that shared on effective communication in your marriage.
Today we are recapping episode 054 with Nate & Felicia Wells : Two Careers, One Family!
Bree’s Takeaways
- Joint spouse relationships or mil to mil is such a challenge. I’m grateful to get a glimpse of this with my friends Nate & Felicia (we hooked them up btw, so you’re welcome) and shout out to Nate’s book of poetry.
- Talking to functional, communicate with your spouse, manage expectations, and creating a career plan that’s complementary
- Dual military couples are encouraging. Both have a career and they are figuring out how to accomplish their goals together.
Juvilyn’s Takeaways
- Loved how their stories of how they met were so different and it was super entertaining. They are an extremely relatable couple.
- Watching dual military couples make it work is so commendable. They come together to make their family work. “Your family should be successful” - Felicia Wells
- Being on the same page, mutual respect & understanding is huge. This takes effective communication, not talking at your spouse, but talking to your spouse. Take ownership, apologize, be conscious of tone and really listen to your spouse.
- We fix what’s broken versus throwing it away. Applying this to your marriage will make all the difference. Stay committed to your spouse. We want to see those hearts in the comments if this resonates with you.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Juvilyn is the 2020-2021 Armed Forces Insurance MCRD San Diego Spouse of the Year & our Hearts & Stripes episode 50 guest that shared on effective communication in your marriage.
Today we are recapping episode 048 Patrice Washington Connected in Marriage & Purpose!
Bree’s Takeaways
- This was our season 2 opening episode with my coach & client Patrice Washington and I love that she said the foundation of their relationship is friendship
- I personally live by the 6 pillars of wealth that Patrice teaches on, I’m a product of her coaching program and I love her book Redefine Wealth For Yourself. I’ve loved the Command the Stage program, Purpose to Platform and continue to work with her as I grow personally and professionally.
- Chase Purpose not Money = 6 Pillars of Wealth, which are Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, Money. We will be working on our Fit & Faith Pillar as we go into 2022!
Juvilyn’s Takeaways
- As the 2020-2021 Armed Forces Insurance MCRD San Diego Spouse of the Year, this was our hardest duty station and it humbled me. I didn’t realize how many people were watching and encouraged by my journey.
- It’s important to have a friendship. Continuing to date your spouse is so crucial. If you don’t invest in your spouse, your marriage won't thrive!
- Keep the spark alive. Flirt and compliment your spouse. Continuously get to know your spouse as things change over time.

EP101 Unwrap & Recap of EP056 with Juvilyn Garcia
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Happy Holidays! During this season of gratitude and joy we are going back and unwrapping the gems found in past episodes that we may need to listen to again before 2022. Joining me for this Unwrap & Recap series is my guest co-host Juvilyn Garcia. Juvilyn is the 2020-2021 Armed Forces Insurance MCRD San Diego Spouse of the Year & our Hearts & Stripes episode 50 guest that shared on effective communication in your marriage.
Today we are recapping episode 056 Heather Campbell Fueling Your Life!
Bree’s Takeaways
- They allowed another couple to speak life into their marriage & accept the help of community at a time when she said “I didn’t sign up for babies in the arctic”
- With huge stressors they went from survival mode to having to deal with the “holes in the boat” by effective communication and deciding to stay
- Grief is not just when you lose a person. We need to all grieve the losses or separation from friends, family, jobs and other areas of our lives that take an emotional toll.
- Food insecurity is such a real issue in our community and I love Heather’s approach to meeting this need in our community with her background.
Juvilyn’s Takeaways
- It’s easy to mask our issues in #milmarriage. Not taking care of those issues makes it even more difficult along the way.
- Survive mode = unmet needs. It takes longer and is harder to work through when we don’t address those unmet needs when they show up.
- The first two years we were on the verge of divorce because we weren’t addressing the issues within it. You can only be in survival mode for so long until the unmet needs end in an explosion.
