Julie Tully joins the VET S.O.S. Network to explore identity, resilience, and reinvention after nearly two decades overseas as a military and diplomatic spouse. Drawing from her memoir Dispatches from the Cowgirl, Julie shares what it’s really like to navigate culture shock, community, humor, and reintegration after long-term service abroad.

In this episode, we explore:
• Life overseas as a military and diplomatic spouse
• Redefining home beyond geography
• Writing as a path through transition
• Reintegration challenges after overseas service
• Why military spouse stories matter

Whether you're transitioning out of the military, supporting a spouse in uniform, or redefining your next chapter, this conversation offers grounded perspective and encouragement.

Julie Tully is an author and former military spouse who spent nearly 20 years overseas supporting U.S. diplomatic and military missions. She now works as a storyteller and writing coach, helping others bring their lived experiences to the page.

The VET S.O.S. Network connects veterans, spouses, and service members with real resources and real people who want to see you thrive.
