AP 663: How Self-Care Saved Our Marriage || an honest conversation on how healthy marriages need two people who are taking care of themselves


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like a martyr in your own home, doing everything right for everyone else but slowly losing yourself in the process? In this episode, my husband Brad and I share our deeply personal story of how we navigated the choppy waters of marital stress and found salvation through self-care.


We’ll take you back to 2015, a pivotal year for our marriage, and discuss how self-care transformed our lives individually and as a couple. From my early struggles with balancing motherhood and personal needs to Brad’s own journey to prioritize himself, this episode dives deep into the practical steps and hard conversations that saved us. Tune in to hear why self-care isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a necessity for sustaining healthy relationships and personal well-being.
