In a late night conversation in Kansas, Rachael and Kindra record a heartfelt show as they catch up on all that happened in the year since Kindra moved from Colorado to Kansas with her family.

Looking in, it's clear that these two women have a special bond that goes beyond friendship. They met while living in Colorado and quickly became close while leading the Mothers of Preschoolers group at their church. In all the challenges of being  moms and leaders, they found humor, warmth and solace in each other's company. When Rachael's husband, Micah, died, Kindra walked the intimate and messy road right beside her. 

When her friend decided to make a cross-country move to Kansas, Rachael was initially concerned about what it would mean for their friendship. However, distance couldn't diminish the love and support they have for each other.

Since the move, they've continued to walk through life's ups and downs. From job changes to family drama, they've been each other's sounding board and support system. Rachael talks with Kindra about how her friend has thrived in her new home, started nursing school and grown as a person through the stress and challenge of transition.

Rachael and Kindra's friendship is an inspiring story of how friendship endures in  difficult times when both people are willing to fight for each other.  Even though they can't be together in person as often as they used to be, when they are together it feels like no time has passed. 

Be encouraged through these friends' willingness to be authentic in the "beautiful hard" places of life while finding laughter in the spaces of their stories.

On this edition of the show, Rachael talks with author, speaker and podcast host, Allie Marie Smith. She shares her story from her book, Wonderfully Made: Discover the Identity, Love, and Worth You Were Created Fo. It was on a gloomy June day in 2001, eighteen-year-old Allie Marie Smith hopped in her blue Ford Explorer and headed north for the Golden Gate Bridge. She planned to jump off and end her life.

Smith had been a scholar-athlete, part of the popular crowd at her all-girls high school and appeared to have the ideal life. But hiding behind a pretty smile, she was fighting an internal battle with mental illness. “My body was alive, but there was no life within me,” Smith recalls. 

In her new book Wonderfully Made: Discover the Identity, Love, and Worth You Were Created For(Moody Publishers), Smith recounts the events that led up to that fateful day, her encounter with a kind-hearted man who came to her aid causing her to abort her original plan, and offers a message of hope and worth for young women reminding them that their identity is not defined by their struggle.

Listen to two line of duty, law enforcement widows spill the tea  on what we wish we had known about our husbands’ worlds as first responders. 

Gracie and I take an honest, insightful and brave look back over our roles as LEO wives and things that would have helped our husbands and helped us. 

We hope that our look back can help all the men and women who continue to serve the thin blue line and the families who serve our heroes by holding down their homes.
