Jessie and Ben are old friends of ours and to be honest, it was amazing just to chat and see their faces again.  Jessie and Ben have three kids, and they shared their relationship tips for keeping the spark alive after becoming parents. From communication to sex, they share their best tips. We also went down the parenting road, as they discussed their values in which they follow for raising kids. Finally, what's not to love about their Steal Aways??

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Aaron and Miranda spill more details about their relationship, and also share callers thoughts about Valentines day.  Also, stay tuned for some fun Valentine's day fun facts. Also... lifesaver books? Conversation hearts? Vinegar Valentines???

Carly and Meg of Fourth Trimester Foundations are registered nurses who found their passion working in the postpartum & newborn speciality. They met working at work and identified that most of their patients, especially the first time moms, were completely uninformed about what would happen to their own healing bodies after birth. They decided to change that narrative together by founding Fourth Trimester Foundations.

They’re also moms of many littles, so they’ve been right there on the other side of the bed too! (They’ve got 5 children between them) They know the transition to motherhood, even if it’s not your first baby, is beautiful, messy, transformative, and full of growing pains.

Back when Facebook was limited to colleges and online dating was considered “weird”, Jillian and Nathan beat the odds by sparking a relationship through Facebook messenger. Their first lunch date progressed into a loving relationship. They have now been together for 15 years 13 of which being married. They have two children Ages 10 and eight. They work together to manage  Jillian‘s Healing Arts Center in their hometown right outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Jillian, the CEO, offers holistic hormone health coaching, on-site massage therapy, yoga and dance classes, and is a CEU provider for massage therapists.  Nathan is the tech wizard making sure everything runs super smoothly behind the scenes with social media, website, advertising, scheduling, and is the site director for the continuing education classes for massage therapists. Building a life and business together hasn’t always been easy especially with Jillian‘s blindness and Nathan‘s ADHD. They have worked through the ups and downs and have truly enjoyed the journey so far. When they are not working, they love brunch dates, taking trips, family pizza movie night with the kiddos, and sex…lots and lots of sex.
