Active Duty: The Inspiring Entrepreneurial Journey of a Military Spouse

Flossie Hall, Founder, Healthy Momma 

Have you ever felt completely frustrated with repeatedly being told 'no' when trying to achieve your goals? As a mother of four and active-duty military spouse, Flossie Hall never seemed to be in the driver’s seat of her own life. In 2015, facing another looming deployment, she put her dream of going to medical school on permanent hold, launching an affordable meal delivery startup. Since then, she hasn't turned back and continues to blaze the trail for others, mentoring, inspiring and advocating for military spouses with entrepreneurial ambitions across the country.

She generated over seven-figure revenues within the first year of launching her meal prep and delivery company Healthy Momma in 2015.

In 2018 Flossie served for a short period on a startup called Fokcus where she was acting Chief Marketing and Development Officer. Fokcus is an accelerator, that also offers a technology platform for startup mentoring along with software solutions. 

Flossie served as the National Director of Project Initiatives at The Rosie Network, which guides military spouse and veteran entrepreneurship through curriculum, education and mentoring. She helped spearhead the Nonprofits growth from a single location to seven cities in a single year projecting to serve a thousand Military Spouses and Veterans annually. 

Flossie’s most recent venture, Association of Military Spouse Entrepreneurs (AMSE) connects Military Spouse impact advocates, entrepreneurs, and freelancers with organizations who want to make an impact with their products and services and create brand awareness in the military community.
