Building Community Wherever You Go: Kandi Hart on What She's Learned as a Military Spouse
Military spouse Kandi Hart
In the Season 2 finale, military spouse Kandi Hart joins the show to discuss what she's learned about building community after decades of moves. She and Stacy talk about what it takes to thrive in every new place, including the mindset you need, the tactics that can work, and how sometimes community starts with just one person.
Hear Kandi talk about:
Why Twentynine Palms — a base most people dread — became a place her whole family asked to go back to
The party mistake that humbled her and changed how she thinks about inclusivity
How she went from a shy kindergartner who cried every morning to the first person to grab the microphone in any room
Why she thinks showing up at someone's door still matters more than any Facebook group
How to build your community when you're not in a military bubble
Mentioned in this episode:
“ I will immediately walk up to somebody, and I will ask them about themselves. I’ll say, ‘Tell me about your family.’”
