PCS Season Survival Tips with Isabel of Logas Mil Moves Host Ashley welcomes back Isabel, Army Military Spouse of the Year finalist and president of Logas to discuss community, networking, and practical PCS-season tips. Isabelle shares her work in military moving (Logas MilMoves), her Mexico-based Guerrero Leather venture, and volunteer efforts supporting a free clinic in Chihuahua providing cataract and dental care, emphasizing long-term impact and avoiding scarcity mindset. They explore why PCS moves are stressful—compounded stress, changing housing, school and commute priorities, and grief over leaving people and places—plus the importance of attitude and how kids absorb anxiety. Isabelle explains families can choose movers and “download” their budget, warns about bad brokers/lead farms, and recommends partial PPMs, creating a clearly marked “do not pack” closet, advocating for nonnegotiables, and booking early due to seasonal capacity and heat constraints, while Ashley highlights Deployed Love’s community support across 12 installations. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:29 Isabelle’s Background 04:35 Purpose-Driven Work 10:00 Community and Mindset 17:30 Deployed Love Mission 22:16 Why PCS Feels Hard 24:44 Priorities and Schools 29:35 Grief and Missing Home 32:17 Making PCS an Adventure 34:47 Mindset Shapes PCS 35:45 Kids Absorb Stress 38:53 When Plans Change 43:08 Taking Control of Moves 45:47 Avoid Broker Scams 48:15 PPM Costs and Work 54:06 Top Three PCS Tips 59:25 Protect Your Valuables 01:05:31 Resources and Booking Early 01:11:21 Self Care and Move Day Safety 01:15:53 Build Your Network 01:18:03 Final Wrap Up Connect with Isabel Website: Www.logsamilmoves.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BJKK7ttb7/?mibextid=wwXIfr Email: Isabel@logsahq.com More about Guerrero Leather and Clinic https://www.guerreroleather.com/ https://www.guerreroclinic.org/ Find us or reach out here: Website: www.deployedlove.org/podcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/ruckupbuttercup Instagram: www.instagram.com/ruckupbuttercuppodcast Email: ashleybrown@deployedlove.org
