Hi I’m Jo,
and I’m so glad that you’re here!









Military life is an adventure. It can be full of frustrations and worries, but it’s also overflowing with opportunities and joy. And while it seems like everything can change in an instant, there is one constant: You don’t have to do it by yourself.
When I fell in love with my sailor, I had no idea what our military journey would bring. (Maybe you feel the same way!) But I learned so much and I’m so excited to share everything with you. The Jo, My Gosh! community is here for you through every deployment and every PCS, through each care package and each video call. You don’t have to be alone.
Military life. Together.
