Welcome back, Feels Family! 💛
In this fun, vulnerable episode Johnny & Lisa play a couples card game (the Tales couples edition) to rediscover each other and spark honest conversation. They open with a weekly check-in, share life updates (gym, family, wedding recaps), and move through questions about skydiving dreams, retirement plans, dream jobs, how they show love, making amends, parenting, and simple ways to pamper one another. It’s part quiz, part date night — and full of real moments that remind you how important curiosity and communication are in any relationship.

Topics you’ll hear: game prompts that spark vulnerability, retirement/travel goals, a dream job conversation about mental-health innovation, how each of them expresses love, tough but necessary talks about family and amends, the impact of kids on decision-making, plus a “yes-day” pamper wishlist. Sponsor shoutout to OuLa-Lade Lemonade makes a cameo too.

✨ Question of the Week:
What’s one thing you and your partner do to keep your connection fresh? Drop it in the comments — your idea might become someone else’s favorite date night move.

Welcome back, Feels Family! 💛
This week, Johnny & Lisa dive into nostalgia—why songs, smells, and little moments can teleport us back in time, and how those memories can warm the heart or keep us stuck in the past. They unpack the difference between celebrating your history and idolizing a former version of yourself, the “glory days” trap, and practical ways to invest in your future self right now. You’ll also hear a candid riff on aging, health habits, and the importance of healing your inner child so old triggers stop running the show. 

Plus: a refreshing shoutout to our sponsor, OuLa-Lade Lemonade 🍋—fresh, all-natural, and always a vibe.

Welcome back, Feels Family! 💛
This week Johnny & Lisa get honest about the mental loop of overthinking—why fear loves the unknown and how to shift from “what if” to “even if” so you can move forward with clarity. They share practical ways to quiet the noise, set time/place boundaries (especially at work), and lean on your village or therapy when your thoughts start spiraling. You’ll also hear how intentional reflection (with clear goals and intention) is different from overthinking—and why that shift changes everything.
