When I sat down to interview Lt. Emily McCamy, my children played in the room next door while she and I had a heart-wrenching conversation. She wants to inspire her daughter and serve her country. But as she and I have both observed, there are many people that want to ask a particular question. How does a mother leave her children and deploy overseas?

As Emily, a Navy Reservist with 22 years of services prepares to deploy in the new year, she joins me in person to discuss why sometimes Facetime hurts, how a child's school can mean the world and the struggle to be intentional when time feels fleeting. 

Emily and I bravely address this topic and so much more in my most raw interview to date.
