After rediscovering her sense of purpose through The COMMIT Foundation, Amy B. turned inspiration into action. She launched a LinkedIn series spotlighting nearly 60 military spouse–owned businesses and nonprofits—creating a ripple of connection, visibility, and empowerment across the community. The traction from her series caught the attention of a leading military-related nonprofit, which offered her an incredible new role perfectly aligned with her values.
“The COMMIT Foundation was a breath of fresh air after feeling like I couldn’t breathe for so long. I was just so ready for a change and for some support, and she [my DVS] immediately made me feel like it was okay for me to be vulnerable.”
For years, Amy tried to push through uncertainty and self-doubt on her own, determined to find her footing after her husband’s military retirement. But after months of job searching and professional frustration, she realized the roles she once thought she wanted no longer reflected who she had become. That moment of reflection led her to The COMMIT Foundation—a discovery that marked a turning point in how she approached her future.
Through one-on-one coaching, Amy found the clarity, confidence, and renewed sense of direction she had been missing. Each session gave her practical tools to align her goals with her identity and reminded her that asking for help is often the first step toward genuine transformation.
Today, Amy is thriving both personally and professionally. She has found meaningful work that aligns with her values and continues to build a strong sense of community wherever she goes. Alongside her husband, a 20-year U.S. Coast Guard veteran, Amy is focused on putting down roots and continuing to nurture the relationships that have guided her along the way.
