About this listen
What’s it really like to build a family and a life around one of the most demanding jobs in the world? In this episode of SMECO Connects, Sonja Cox and Tom Dennison sit down with Rachel, a third-grade teacher, mom of three, and proud wife of a SMECO lineman.
Rachel opens up about the unseen sacrifices linemen and their families make—missed birthdays, long nights without sleep, and storm calls that pull them away at a moment’s notice. She shares how her family balances teaching, parenting, and supporting a husband whose work keeps our lights on.
Key themes in this conversation:
- The hidden challenges of being a lineman’s family
- How teaching and linework both serve the community
- Finding strength, pride, and perspective in sacrifice
Rachel’s story is a heartfelt reminder of the resilience and dedication that power not just our homes, but our communities.
