In this rich and heartfelt conversation, I’m joined by the incredible Misty Moreno, 20-year Air Force veteran, marketing manager at Vets2PM, podcast host, instructor, author, and a woman who has mastered the art of designing a life on her own terms.

Misty’s story is one of courage, clarity, and deep self-awareness. After a powerful turning point in her military career, she made the bold decision to retire with just one year’s notice, and that moment reshaped her entire philosophy on success, identity, and purpose.

In this episode:

• Why “one-year-at-a-time” living may be the most grounding approach you’ve never tried
• How to define a lifestyle you actually want, not the one the military or society tells you to want
• What it takes to transition with confidence, both logistically and mentally
• The mindset shifts that allow you to choose purpose over pressure
• Her five powerful life lessons from the military that still hold true today
• How to make your career a part of your life, not your whole identity
• The unexpected gift of contentment, and why striving isn’t always the answer

Hey there! I'm Christina Mattison, an Air Force Officer, yoga teacher, dedicated wife, and proud mother of two. But most importantly, I'm here as a wellness and leadership coach for women in the military. I want you to know something: It doesn't have to be this way.

I've walked in your combat boots, and I understand the chaos that often accompanies military life. But I'm here to share a powerful truth with you: You have the innate ability to transform your own life. I've personally experienced this transformation, and I've witnessed it in the lives of countless clients I've had the privilege to guide.
