Empowered to Dream: How The Pillar Foundation Helped Alex Thrive and Choose Her Next Chapter
When Alex, an Air Force SOF spouse and young mom, first found herself staring down the uncertainty of her husband’s transition from the military, it felt like everything was up in the air. It wasn’t just about supporting him through the changes—it was also about figuring out what her own next chapter would look like. That’s when The Pillar Foundation stepped in and empowered her to look beyond the daily stress and start dreaming again.
With The Pillar Foundation’s support, Alex realized that she didn’t have to just react to the changes in her life; she could proactively choose the path she wanted to take. They encouraged her to set big goals, explore her passions, and get excited about what’s ahead, all while providing the practical resources she needed to make those dreams a reality. Instead of seeing the transition as something to simply “get through,” Alex began to see it as a chance to grow and thrive—for herself and for her family.
The Pillar Foundation also helped her reframe her mindset. They showed her that it was okay to prioritize her own dreams while still being a supportive spouse and present mom. They pushed her to pursue her health and wellness journey, grow her business, The CoVive, and take bold steps forward. It wasn’t about just surviving the transition—it was about embracing the chance to create a life that truly reflected who she was and where she wanted to go.
Now, as she and her husband set off on their exciting 50-state road trip in an RV, Alex credits The Pillar Foundation for giving her the confidence to make such a bold move. They encouraged her to see this new adventure not as a scary unknown but as a carefully chosen chapter—one that she helped write. Today, she’s not just supporting her husband’s journey but living out her own, pursuing her passions, building her business, and embracing every new day.
Thanks to The Pillar Foundation, Alex has learned to dream bigger, thrive even amidst uncertainty, and confidently step into a future she’s actively choosing, one incredible adventure at a time.
