Let's be real. When you can't control where you live, when your spouse is home or what holidays you get to celebrate together, you can start to feel powerless. The Voluntold lifestyle is a beast of its own but we're gonna rock it together! My name is Caresse and I'm a military spouse and here we're going to find our voice and power by focusing on the things we CAN control, starting with us. Voluntold is about relationships, parenting, health, career life and being our best selves today!
