Do you know that one friend that has high energy, a positive mindset, is physically fit, AND has such a zest for life?  Ever wonder how they do it?

We sit down and talk to Angie's friend, Shay Gillespie to learn more about her faith, family, and fitness journey.  Shay shares how her Dodge Lancer taught some life lessons at an early age. You don't want to miss that story!

If you enjoy listening, would you take a few minutes to rate this podcast? We would appreciate it.

Thank you so much for listening!
Love, Angie & Aric

In this episode, the other half of API Project Fitness, Jerrell Jackson stops by to talk about growing up in the toughest part of Houston, Texas.

Going on to become the first person in his family to attend college and play high-level college football!

He talks about "turning the light switch on no matter how you feel" and "growing out of concrete".   Jerrell reflects on the kind of mindset it takes to transition life when injuries take away your professional football dreams!

Hope you enjoy this conversation with Jerrell!
Love,
Aric & Angie

On this episode, we talk about our 2-year wedding anniversary which we call the "CrewVersary", green relationship flags, and wounded oysters! We laugh and cry. As always sharing the raw emotions of life. Painful beauty.

Happy Easter to you and your Families! Take the pics and videos and hug your kids longer than they are comfortable with!   

Love, Love, Love,

Tune into this episode as we tried to dive into our spring break trip with the Crew many times but kept getting sidetracked on what was really top of mind. Raw and real emotions kept coming out whether we liked it or not.

Quick shout out to Lexi and Grandma Alice! Their birthdays are today!!!

We are ALWAYS A MESS.   Thanks for listening!
Love,
Aric & Angie

Shortly after we lost Hallie, we wanted to reach young kids to educate them on relationship red flags and gun safety. Where do all the young kids hang out?  Tiktok. 

Angie created several videos like the Honor walk, Relationship Red Flags, and Gun Safety. They blew up. The kids kept saying...Mom/Ang you're going viral!!! They might be jealous of her following.

As we shared last week, we are trying to find purpose through the pain in the midst of this extreme heartache.  Heather Pettey (who was recently on our podcast) reached out to Angie in January after watching her TikTok and asked her to be on the Life Coach BFF Podcast that she hosts.

In today's episode, we share that podcast with Angie and Heather covering Gun Safety and Relationship Red Flags that you do NOT want to miss!

Thanks for Listening,

"No" can be a tricky word to say. We have both struggled to say no to people, events, work, and kids. Sometimes life throws unimaginable curveballs that force you with no other option than to say No.

Tune in as we discuss how to say no, when to say yes, and the value each of those simple words brings!

Thanks for listening!
Love,
Aric & Angie

P.S. Sometimes, we are in a groove when recording, and this time we were not. Angie was having a rough, emotional night, and we clawed our way through it.

Angie has requested this podcast topic for quite some time. Although Aric is not sure he feels qualified to share his thoughts, he sure shows up for all of us with grit and determination to be a strong Dad and Husband. At the end of the day, that is what matters!

So here we go...we hope this helps some dads and husbands!

One request, if you are enjoying our podcasts, would you give us a review on your favorite podcast listening platform?

We continue to find that it is incredibly important to surround yourself with people who will walk with you thru life by following Jesus...

In this week's episode, we visit with Heather Pettey, the author of "Keep It Simple, Sarah" and The Life Coach BFF Show Podcast.

Heather talks to us about building your Fire in the Rain as you face adversity! 

And the choices we have when FEAR enters into our lives...

We hope you enjoy our visit with Heather!

God Bless,
