Summary

It’s another two part story time! This time, it’s with the Awtreys! In this first half of a two-part conversation, Rachel sits down with her husband, Thomas, to catch up on a year marked by deployment, parenting curveballs, and chasing big dreams. From the boys’ muddy adventures to the behind-the-scenes of writing Rachel’s debut book, this episode feels like a warm, honest chat on the couch. They talk reentry after time apart, lessons from military life, and how joy still shows up in the middle of messy routines. If you’re craving a real-life check-in with laughter, honest marriage talk, and big “same here” energy—you’re in the right place.
