423 – Carolee Hagstrom – Conversations with a Vet

I was excited to welcome Carolee Hagstrom, a remarkable mother of two Marine sons and the host of Conversations with the Vet to Oscar Mike Radio. We delved into the unique challenges and joys of parenting children in the military.
Carolee shares her deeply personal journey into motherhood, from navigating an unexpected pregnancy to adopting her oldest son. She reflects on the profound emotional experiences of raising sons who chose to serve, including how military life shapes family dynamics.
The conversation also touches on her youngest son's post-COVID vaccine health challenges, providing a candid look at the ripple effects of service life and health decisions on families. Through it all, Carolee highlights the strength and resilience it takes to support loved ones in uniform.
This episode is a touching reminder of the vital role of community and support networks in helping military families navigate their unique journeys.
