Astronaut Wives Are the Moment

Welcome back to Hopecore, your Friday dose of joy and wonder - this week's guest is the kind of hero who never asked for a cape — she just quietly held the world together while her husband went to the moon. Dr. Catherine Hansen is an ob-gyn, a mom of three — and the wife of Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist on the legendary Artemis II crew.

In this episode, we talk about the emotional weight that astronaut families carry so quietly. The anxiety that hums in the background for years. The moment the rocket lifts off and all you can think is just go. The 40 minutes of complete silence when they disappear behind the moon, and what it means to hold someone else's dream without losing your own.

This conversation would not have been possible without all of you! Your comments truly make my week ❤️ Please share this episode with a friend and make sure to subscribe to officially join the family!
