NMSN Military Spouse Highlights powered by USAA

Julia Priftis is the founder of Blossoming Families, a developmental psychologist, and a Navy spouse whose career spans early childhood education, mental health court systems, child welfare compliance, and now, military family advocacy. In this dynamic conversation, Julia shares how her clinical expertise, personal experience, and creative drive intersected to launch her parenting consultancy and publish her first book—all while living overseas. She outlines how military life influenced her research on spouse depression, parent-child attachment, and service member reintegration, and offers grounded advice for pursuing graduate education as a mobile spouse. Julia also dives into the realities of pivoting after major transitions—defending a dissertation while pregnant, building a business abroad, and finding purpose post-PhD. For military spouses balancing ambition with uncertainty, Julia’s journey offers a practical, empowering roadmap: how to grow where you're planted, create new opportunities from scratch, and build a career that aligns with your values—even when the path isn’t traditional.
