I Get It

Wes & I dive into a time in our marriage that we were ready to call it quits. We talk about how outside stress (family issues, job loss, death, life changes) can affect our mental state. Life is hard! We talk about how counseling ultimately saved our marriage, and helped Wes work through the emotions he was working to escape. This episode is all about how to find a counselor, why go, and when! We want to alleviate any shame you currently associate with it and give you hope for what is to come.

Becoming a mom is the biggest transition of your life. There are so many questions, fears, anticipation. On today's episode, I am talking through things Wes and I did as we prepped to become parents. I talk about birth plan, breastfeeding, in-laws, postpartum, and expectations. Take a listen with your partner to get on the same page about what is to come. And welcome to the club! Excited for you for what is to come.

It doesn't matter how close we watch our kids, accidents happen. Yup, even to the helicopter moms. Today, we talk about how our kids have taken us by surprised even when they are right under our nose. We talk mindset shifts in how to create space for your kids to explore while keeping them safe.... at least as safe as we can. We talk mom shame, guilt, and how passing blame can wreck a marriage. 

Disclaimer: I talk about locking my kids out of the house... it was only the big kids. I don't recommend locking a baby outside. Just don't do it. When you ask the question, could my kid die? Don't do it. If they may scrape their knee... let them go! 

Moral of the story... Put the helmet on! But you eventually have to take off the training wheels & let them fall.

Either way, accidents happen, stop beating yourself up when they do.

Motherhood is not for the faint at heart... I get it!

In this episode, we dive into the love languages and enneagram test to explain how getting to know your spouse can transform how you communicate. You may "think" you know each other already... we certainly did. But taking these tests have transformed how we see each other, talk to each other, and understand each other's needs. It is so much easier to not get stuck a cycle of feeling empty and unseen.

I believe this is the funnest way to take your marriage to the next level.
