The most asked question by young couples is something along the lines of, "How do you not grow apart from your spouse after so many years together?"

I've grown apart from pretty much all friends I've ever had so how can we out of nowhere flip the script and change the narrative when it comes to your romantic relationship?

We've heard a lot of advice, some good, some not, but either way, we always come away from conversations on this topic with a new excitement for how we can feel most connected and confident in us.

This is probably the most fly on the wall experience to overhear a natural and honest conversation just like we have while cooking dinner or enjoying a glass of wine together.

We’re talking romantic relationships and how to stay each other’s favorite person long term.

• ​What’s worked for us, even when it’s against all other advice (including from my therapist 😒)
• ​And what we’ve seen just simply not work at all (major 🚩 🚩 IMO!)

If you or someone you know is less than obsessed and overjoyed with their love life, you’ll want to listen to this one!

And if you’re starting from scratch (aka where I was at 23, completely consumed with stress, anxiety, and self-doubt) read my free ebook to gain tools and ideas for how you can reconnect with Self and feel healthier than ever before.

You know that regretful and unbearable to be around old person who is still talking about their unfulfilled dreams...

Yeah. The goal is to not become that.

And we've seen so clearly how taking steps towards the life you desire right now is what's bringing it into your physical reality.

Because the more you do the thing now, however small scale it needs to be at first, the more you learn and the more you become the person who so naturally has that life you envision.

On the show today, we're discussing the newest major upgrade we've made that I honestly can't believe we were able to do already (5 year dream, literally accomplished in 2 months!).

And how much of a confidence boost it is to actually see the physical manifestation of everything you've been talking about.

As someone who hates the grocery store, I’ve found ways to rely on them less and less. 

And it feels so GOOD. Without even trying, it's resulted in such a healthier relationship with food.

So in this episode, I'm sharing my full grocery routine (Every single thing I buy and where I source it as someone who focuses on ancestral cooking from scratch).

I break it up by:

1. Online orders
2. Farm pickups
3. And then the last very few items left for the grocery store

For all the resources and exact brands mentioned in this episode, check out my grocery haul post here.

Why do we have organic produce?

Rallying cries to government? And BIG money payouts to cancer patients from pesticide companies?

Well, because it's not safe to spray poison on Earth at all, but more obviously, it's complete insanity to spray poison directly on something humans are going to consume.

This is one of the main reasons my husband and I are building a homestead... to ensure that what we consume is completely healthy.

So when I saw my neighbor spraying ROUNDUP directly on our shared fence line, near our chickens, garden, and wine vineyard... I was ready to pack my bags and move out immediately.

As I navigate this in my own home, I figured it must be important to share for anyone who is still calling up pest control or spraying chemicals on and around their own home to share some alternatives, because you have to understand that when you poison Earth, you are poisoning yourself.

And it's completely unnecessary when there are safe and natural solutions to these things.

Enjoy the conversation and cheers! 🥂

We just got back from our honeymoon in Italy, and while we loved the espresso, the landscape, and the pasta... the biggest thing we came home with was clarity.

We’re sharing the lifestyle differences we noticed between Europe and the U.S., why traveling was different than expected, and how this trip gave us more confidence than ever in what we are building at home.

We talk about:

• ​What Italians get right about food and daily rhythm
• ​Why travel isn’t always as life-changing or relaxing as it seems
• ​And how this trip showed us that we are even more on the right path than we thought

If you’re drawn to the romantic Italian lifestyle like I am and want to bring more of that into your home now, or if you're just curious about what happens when two “homebodies” go to Europe... Listen now!

Cheers to the honeymoon trip! 🥂

Biohacking is the cool thing to do right now—cold plunges, red light therapy, grounding mats, coffee enemas, and mineral cocktails.

But honestly, most of these expensive “hacks” are just fancy ways to mimic what nature already gives us… for free.

In this episode of Cheers to Growth, we’re breaking down some of the most popular biohacking trends and sharing which ones we love, which we’ve tried, and which ones we skip altogether.

We’re diving into:

• ​Remineralization and grounding practices we’re obsessed with
• ​How hot/cold therapy can be harmful and almost ruined my wedding
• ​Our honest thoughts on red light and coffee enemas
• ​And why nature will always win over man-made tech

Whether you’re intrigued by the world of health optimization or feeling overwhelmed by all the wellness noise, this episode is all about tuning in and finding what resonates with your body.

Cheers to optimal health! 🥂

If you told us a few years ago that we’d be making wine from our backyard vineyard, growing a food forest, and throwing worms to chickens at sunset… we’d have laughed. Hard.

But it all started with two small things: sourdough and raw milk.

In this episode, we’re sharing how baking bread and drinking farm-fresh milk became the unexpected gateway into our homestead lifestyle.

We talk about getting over the fear of real dairy, how making your own bread makes you feel invincible, and why these tiny choices sparked a chain reaction that completely changed our health and feeling of aliveness.

Whether you’re new to this approach to health or you’ve already started growing your own food, this episode will inspire you to take one small, doable step toward a life that feels nourishing, grounded, and way more fulfilling!

Cheers 🥂

Join us for a nourishing meal as you listen to this conversation by following our weekly recipes here!

You’re checking all the boxes… Clean eating, daily workouts, no toxins in sight, but something still feels off.

In this episode, we share how our health shifted when we left behind the polished, plastic version of life and returned to nature. What started as weekend escapes to the forest turned into a full-on nervous system supportive lifestyle reboot.

We talk about the invisible stress of “perfect” neighborhoods and the surprising connection between environment and unhealthy cravings, plus the indescribable joy of muddy dogs and slow living.

If you’re still not feeling your best, even while doing “all the things,” this conversation might be the missing piece.

Cheers to living in nature🥂

If I heard this conversation a few years ago I would’ve rolled my eyes.

Having your lifestyle focused on being a wife and a mom in the modern world is seen as lame at best… and unsafe, stupid, and oppressive at worst.

So for a long time I thought I had to pretend to have other, “more important” life goals.

Now I’ve somehow changed my tune and I’m wondering, how did I get here?

And why is something that feels so natural, so frowned upon socially?

Plus, we’re discussing the health consequences we’ve seen and experienced while living out of alignment with these traditional masculine and feminine roles.

Join us for dinner by following along with our recipe here.
