In partnership with
We’re excited to officially launch something deeply personal and powerful - Beyond Orders, a podcast for military spouses who are tired of waiting for permission and ready to take ownership of their career story.
Hosted by our founder and CEO, Michelle Penczak, this podcast is all about redefining what’s possible because while PCS orders may move us, they don’t define us.
Episode 1 Is Live: Rooted at Last: How Squared Away Became Jordan’s Steady Ground
We’re kicking things off with an inspiring conversation with Jordan Streetman Cole, Chief Experience Officer at Squared Away. In this episode, Jordan shares:
✅ How she went from professional burnout to executive leadership
✅ What stability really looks like for military spouses
✅ The moment she realized she wasn’t just building a job—she was building her future
✅ The power of community, reinvention, and having the right support system
Why This Podcast Matters
This podcast was created for military spouses, by military spouses because we know what it’s like to juggle deployments, PCS moves, parenting, and still want more for ourselves.
Each episode explores:
Career transformation
Remote work opportunities
The mental load of military life
Stories of resilience, reinvention, and leadership
Ways military spouses support civilian businesses and make them better
