From the very beginning of our podcast journey one of our goals was to  highlight local businesses, the heart and soul of any place but especially Alaska. We love pouring back into our community and so we thought what better way to do that then to bring attention and accolades to the wonderful people serving Alaska! 

We're kicking things off with an AKCoCo family favorite, Doggy Adventures! Come meet the owner and CEO, Melanie and learn more about what her business offers the pets of Alaska ( because really it's all about the pets, duh). 

If you or someone you know has a business they'd love to showcase on our podcast, contact us via social media @AKCoupleOfCouples

Welcome back to the final episode of our deployment series! In this episode, we are thrilled to have Eric back with us as we delve into the re-deployment and post-deployment/re-integration stages. The anticipation of a loved one's return from deployment can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, and we'll explore the range of emotions that come with this transitional period. We'll also discuss the "honeymoon" phase that often occurs during re-integration, as well as the challenges that can arise later on. Join us as we hear firsthand from Noemi and Eric about their differing perspectives and the ups and downs they've experienced during this time. Don't miss out on this candid and insightful conversation!

Join Noemi and Karen as they unpack their personal experiences, discover the similarities they have in their roles as mothers, and what they've learned over the years.
