Personal Details

Bio

As the "Seasoned Spouse," Lizann has been encouraging and supporting military spouses since 2016 through her blog of that name, hundreds of published articles on military websites, and several books for the military community.

Her most recent book, "Open When: Letters of Encouragement for Military Spouses," was published in 2021 by Military Family Books. It includes short letters written directly to the reader to encourage them through the most common large and small challenges of military life.

Since then, Lightfoot has focused on encouraging spouses through the many challenges of military life, with an emphasis on deployment preparation and family support. She runs an online deployment support group called Handle Deployment Like a Boss, which has 8,000 active members.

As a speaker, Lightfoot has spoken at military spouse small group events like Book Clubs and unit gatherings. She has coordinated pre-deployment and post-deployment workshops for spouse groups up to 75 people. And she has spoken at several national conferences, to include the International Association of Movers (IAM) Conference in Florida in 2021 and the Military Influencer Conference in Las Vegas in 2022. She specializes in sharing stories of military life that are both relatable, entertaining, and inspiring.

Lightfoot is available to travel throughout the U.S.

A military spouse for more than 15 years, Lightfoot has been with her Marine through his entire 22-year career. Together, they have faced 7 deployments, done 6 PCS moves, and raised 5 children. They have lived on each U.S. coast, and spent 3 years overseas in Spain. They are currently settled near Gettysburg, PA as he prepares for retirement from the military.
