Strive Press is proud to unveil Life After Military: A Comprehensive Guide for Veterans and Their Families Navigating the Transition to Civilian Life, authored by Yvonne Coulson, affectionately known as "Ms. Veteran Affairs." This groundbreaking book and its companion workbook are now available on Amazon, with audiobook and special spouse-focused editions forthcoming.

Every year, approximately 200,000 service members transition out of the U.S. military. This significant life change often presents challenges that extend beyond employment, touching on identity, mental health, and family dynamics. Life After Military aims to guide veterans and their loved ones through this complex journey, equipping them with tools for financial readiness, career planning, and emotional resilience.

A Comprehensive Guide with Actionable Tools

The book features the innovative S.O.A.R. framework—Self-Awareness, Opportunities, Action, and Resilience—offering a structured path to redefine purpose, explore career options, and build a fulfilling civilian life. It is complemented by a highly interactive workbook that transforms concepts into action steps through checklists, reflection prompts, and practical exercises.

Yvonne Coulson’s personal journey inspired this transformative resource. "Transitioning from military life is about more than finding a job—it’s about rediscovering your identity and creating a life that honors your service and fulfills your potential," she says.

Why This Matters

With 200,000 veterans transitioning annually, the stakes are high. Many struggle to translate their military skills to civilian roles, access available benefits, or find adequate support systems. This book addresses these gaps head-on, offering clear guidance and real-life success stories that inspire and inform.

Special Editions

In addition to the primary release, Coulson’s forthcoming audiobook and a specialized edition for military spouses will provide tailored insights for these critical support networks, ensuring the whole family is prepared for life beyond service.

About the Author

Yvonne Coulson, “Ms. Veteran Affairs,” is a seasoned advocate for veterans, a sought-after speaker, and the founder of New Horizons for Life. Her dedication stems from her personal experiences navigating the VA system and supporting her late husband’s transition to civilian life.

Availability
