Our Partners and Collaborators
At Pad Wives Assemble, we’re proud to work with an incredible network of partners and collaborators who share our mission to support, empower, and uplift military partners and families. From community organisations to mental health advocates and creative business contributors, our collaborations help us bring honest conversations, valuable resources, and meaningful stories to our listeners every week.
Summit & Stream
Hi! I'm Cathy and I support military wives and partners build flexible, purpose-driven online businesses that move with military life. Through Summit & Stream: The Academy and in-person retreats. I guide women to find clarity, confidence, and the freedom of creating a business that fits around deployments, moves, and family life. After leaving my career in primary education to move overseas on a posting, I lost a bit of myself. I decided to start an online business, but I struggled to find support from someone who truly understood our unique lifestyle - so I created it myself.
Summit & Stream is a place where you can be yourself while building your business - at your place, in your own way, with the people who truly get it.
