Meet Kolleen
After 23 years in the Marine Corps, I learned life rarely goes according to plan – and honestly, that’s when the best detours happen. From Private to Major, from fearless leader to figuring out life beyond the uniform, my journey is full of unexpected turns, laughter, tears, and bold new adventures.
Embracing Every Detour
Major Detour isn’t just about travel – it’s about embracing every unexpected twist life throws our way. From military transitions and motherhood to health, humor, and bold adventures, this space is where I share unfiltered moments to inspire you to embrace your own detours too.

Share Your Detour
Life’s detours come in all shapes – career changes, motherhood, unexpected pivots, bold choices, quiet wins. I’d love to hear yours. Whether it’s a story you’re proud of, a lesson learned, or a path you’re still figuring out, know that your journey matters.
I promise I’ll never share your story without your permission.
