In Episode 22, college sweethearts and real-life power couple Bryana and DJ join the podcast to share on their first year of marriage.

Bry and DJ are vulnerable about what it is like navigating life as a Black couple and how deeply they cherish each other. They dive deep into living as a long-distance couple in the first year of marriage. For many, this time in a marriage is a huge learning curve. On top of that, they added exactly 716.9 miles between them literally after saying "I do."

Bry and DJ tell their story of meeting in college, and how beginning as friends led them to create a solid foundation for their future. They each share their individual perspectives on growth in a marriage together, AND how they leave space for each other to thrive individually. They speak on their intentionality in always coming together at the end of each day in ways that respect and fit the needs of one another.

Get out your confetti and air horns to wish this couple a Happy Belated One Year Anniversary as they share wisdom and encouragement in going the distance!

Stay steady walkin'!
