Self-Care for the Homeschooling Military Spouse

Episode #5- Self-Care for the Homeschooling Military Spouse

Self-care has become a fashionable buzzword in our culture. Still, as guest Dr. Sharita Knobloch points out, self-care deserves a key place in the life of every homeschooling military spouse.

Seasoned Army wife and former homeschool mom, Dr. Sharita Knobloch, joins Crystal Niehoff this week to discuss the importance of self-care for homeschooling military spouses. Self-care is a commonly used phrase nowadays, but what does it really mean in practice? Sharita shares her definition of the term and gives tips for creating a doable self-care routine for whatever phase of homeschooling and military life you’re in. Whether you are the mom of preschoolers or high schoolers, you’ll learn why self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential!

Dr. Sharita Knobloch has been married to her beloved infantryman husband Brandon for over 10 years. The joys and challenges of this milspouse life ignited her faith on a deep level, so she answered the call to ministry in July 2011. Sharita holds a bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University in Animal Science & Industry (Communications Option, Leadership Minor), master’s degree in Christian Leadership from Liberty University, and Doctor of Education in Community Care and Counseling: Pastoral Counseling, also from Liberty University.

Sharita is a Tiny Human mama of two kiddos, an 8-year-old girl and a 4-year old boy. She is also a smallish-dog-owner, aspiring-runner, writer, speaker, and spiritual leadership coach. Sharita has been volunteering with Army Wife Network for more than seven years and transitioned into the role of Owner and Commander in October 2019. She is overjoyed to serve milspouses and their families in this capacity. In 2020, she was named Armed Forces Insurance Fort Bliss Military Spouse of the Year.
