Before we ever turned on the microphones, Karen and I met Joel and Sarah by chance during a night out for dinner. What started as a simple conversation quickly revealed a story that felt perfect for Second Time Around.

In this episode, Joel and Sarah share their journey of finding love again, navigating the challenges of blending families, and building a relationship grounded in authenticity, compassion, and friendship.

Listen as they reflect on the joys, lessons, and laughter that have shaped their second-time-around story, including the adventure of bringing two households together while raising three young daughters.

And yes—you’ll definitely want to hear the story behind the pantless proposal! Their story is a beautiful reminder that love, partnership, and deep friendship can flourish in unexpected ways.
