Calculated Chaos: The Podcast

In this episode, we chat about our recent escapades, and read some pretty dramatic reviews from Amazon... Let's just say some got carried away with their literary entries. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we catch you up on the staycation plans, answer some juicy questions, and go deep on our mental health journey. We say "our" because marriage adds a oneness to every experience, including mental health!

As always, thanks to Nik Boone for the podcast music. We need to give him more credit for that!

Today we decided to go back to our earliest memories... and it got deep. We rediscovered how different we are, but we balance each other out. Thanks for listening!

Crazy, cute, that one you wish never happened? There's a bit of it all here. We also catch up on what's been going on here and chat about our upcoming STAY-cation! Thanks for listening in!

Wynston is turning one! We reminisce on his first year, look forward to summer (school ends this week!!), and play a little “this or that” for birthdays.

May can feel like a benchmark in the year. Easter festivities are behind us, the flowers and trees are in a full growth spurt, the days are more consistently warm or temperate. It’s a great time to really hone in what the rest of Spring will be for you/family, and dream/plan a little for Summer. 

It can also be a time when you realize your goals from January aren’t exactly on track, so it can be a great time to simply reflect and refocus, (ah, alliteration) and tweak those goals that may or may not (ooooh pun alert) have been too ambitious for your current season. 

Josiah's "Dream Life" is out! We talked about what sort of things he values and hopes for, and we also got into what the Lord has been teaching us. We often find that He is working similar or complementary things in each of us, but just how we individually need to hear. Look at God. That's just how He works.

Here's the ChatGPT Prompt if you want to try this game of crafting a dream life and compare with a partner or friend!

"I want to create my goal and vision for 2025.

Please guide me through this process by asking me 20 questions one by one, and when I'm done answering the 20th question please write my dream life story for 2025, what my 2025 affirmation will be and then my top 5 goals broken down by relationship, business, family, money, body, and life."

Join us in hearing Cailin's 2025 dream life, using ChatGPT! It's funny, but our conversation gets deeper than the superficial of the goals and dreams listed. If you want to try this AI prompt, copy and paste this to ChatGPT in the app or on the website:

I want to create my goal and vision for 2025.

Please guide me through this process by asking me 20 questions one by one, and when I'm done answering the 20th question please write my dream life story for 2025, what my 2025 affirmation will be and then my top 5 goals broken down by relationship, business, family, money, body, and life.

Welcome back after a needed break, and new intro who dis?! Thank you to Nik Boone, who also cohosts a great podcast, for crafting it! It feels more like us.

This week, we chatted about how the rhythm feels better, more peaceful. That said, sometimes hard things come, and there's no way to sugar-coat it! By the grace of God, we are empowered to move through those tough spots and carry on in victory. Thank you Lord for these sweet chats and helping us grow.
