Marriage with Intention

30 Day Goal Sprint: Have More Fun this Summer

Yoga Class with Me on Saturday, July 19 at 10am MT -  GRAB YOUR SPOT

Curious how to find real estate deals or build other streams of income or be an extra in a romcom movie - on top of your day job? This episode is for you. 

Most couples feel the tension between wanting more and not knowing where to start. They get stuck in thinking about what’s the “right” next step and are all talk and no action. 

And if we’re honest, it’s easier to stay in rinse-and-repeat survival mode than to risk dreaming out loud or taking a step to doing something new. 

But here’s what most people don’t talk about: behind every opportunity we’ve said yes to, there was a moment where we had to do something different.

In this episode, we’re sharing four of our personal stories (including ones that didn’t work out) of how we created opportunities that changed our lives - before we had “the time,” “the money” or “the perfect plan.” We open up about cold emails that led to business deals, dream-killing spreadsheets that saved us and how sharing a vision (even when it sounded silly) helped it actually happen.

You’ll hear:

• The exact mindset shift that helped us get out of autopilot and back into possibility
  
  
• How we moved from “we don’t know how” to “we’ll figure it out”
  
  
• One of Tom’s best-kept stories (that includes commercial real estate and a six-hour detour)
  
  
• Why we believe luck matters, but action matters more.

This episode will inspire you to stop waiting, start asking for what you want, and take one bold step toward making ACTUAL changes in your life.

“What do you want to watch tonight?” This question is almost as annoying as “what’s for dinner?” LOL.

But, what if we gave you a way to stop this question! 

We’ve been there - you finally sit down at the end of the day, exhausted. All you want to do is watch a show. But instead, you end up scrolling Netflix for 20 minutes, debating what to watch … until you get angry and just give up.

All those seemingly small moments, they add up. Because when you can’t decide on what to watch together, spending time together starts to feel less fun.

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of our most underrated connection strategies: watching a show we both enjoy - without the endless scroll. We’re sharing our favourite TV shows as a couple (the ones that sparked conversations and laughter at the end of long days), plus how we use TV as a reward after getting that one thing done that moves our relationship or goals forward.

You’ll also hear:

• How one simple change helped us actually follow through on our goals and still unwind together
  
  
• A sneak peek at something NEW that's coming (hint: it’s 30 days of intentionally having more FUN)

We’re not saying TV will save your relationship - but being more intentional with your downtime might just change how you end your days together.

🎧 Listen now to save yourself from the scroll tonight!

Are you living the life YOU want to be living?

It’s easy to get lost in the grind of everyday responsibilities, careers and kids that you forget the dreams you once had. We’ve been there and we used to put our dreams on hold for “later” or “one day when…” - but now we have a new approach. 

In this episode, we get real about the life events that’ve impacted our life decisions to reclaim our time, our relationship and say YES to our dreams. Because here’s the truth: there’s no guarantee that the opportunity will come around again.

We talk about Tom’s childhood dream coming true this week and how, together, we acted quickly and avoided the trap of putting this dream off until “later”.

We’re sharing the hard lessons, the mindset shifts and the plans that have helped us get off autopilot and start seizing the days that matter. 

Listen in for one small but powerful question that can change the way you are living NOW.

We know what it’s like to live side by side, having checked all the boxes, while drifting further apart in silence. 

In this episode, we’re getting real about the personal growth and investments that changed our marriage, our careers and our confidence. We share the programs, events and investments (yes, including the $120,000 ones) that have accelerated our results.

Listen in as we explore:

• The moment Tom said, “This is my dream” at a non-lawyer event he almost didn’t attend and thought was too much money to invest in himself
  
  
• How investing in your relationship is more important than another conference or a date night
  
  
• The mindset shifts that helped us stop abandoning ourselves and finally start designing a life that fits our shared vision 

As former lawyers, married entrepreneurs/investors and parents of two under 3, we know what it’s like to be “successful” to the outside world but stuck. We also know what’s on the other side of doing life differently and it’s so much better than we even imagined.

This episode is your permission slip to break the routine, get uncomfortable and take back control of your time, energy and relationship. No one else is going to do it for you, so let us help you take action today.

When was the last time you talked about what’s inspiring you? What’s shaping how you think, feel and show up in your life? 

Here’s something we don’t hear enough: the content we consume matters just as much as the conversations we have. That’s why this week’s Marriage with Intention episode is all about the podcasts that have shaped who we are - individually and together.

Vulnerability is the theme in this episode as we open up our Apple Podcast Apps and share:

• The money podcasts that helped us hit financial independence in our 30s
• The mindset and spirituality podcasts that helped Aman leave law and trust the next chapter of entrepreneurship and business
• The exact podcasts that helped us talk about money, marriage and the life we were designing before it looked possible
• And the limited podcasts we can agree to listen to on a road trip

As former lawyers turned married entrepreneurs and investors with two kids under 3, this conversation goes deep on how we intentionally choose what to listen to and why it matters more than we realized.

We also share the difference between podcasts that served a past version of us AND the ones guiding our future selves.

And trust us: some of Tom’s picks might surprise you and be exactly what you need right now! 

🎧 Listen to this Episode on Apple or Spotify.
 

This one’s for the couples who crave deeper connection - not just with each other but with their future selves.

You are what you consume. Let’s make it intentional - obviously!

You can love your partner deeply AND forget to show them you actually like them because you get caught up in keeping up with the demands of daily life.

Last week I went to the In Bloom Relationship Conference in Vancouver and learned from world-renowned relationship experts like Dr. John & Julie Gottman (yes, those Gottmans), Dr. Ramani Durvasula and Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh.

We’ve got 2 kids under three. And we’re tag-teaming bed times, building a business, recording podcasts, healthy habits, meetings, laundry and dinners. And even though Tom and I are building a beautiful life together, I catch myself defaulting into logistics mode and “what’s next”. Not pausing. Not turning toward him. Forgetting to show him I actually like him.

And the truth is… when we stop showing we like each other? We stop feeling liked in return. That’s when the slow disconnection creeps in.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the 5 most powerful takeaways from the conference that are relatable and actionable:

➤ A completely new way to define attraction (it’s not what you think)
➤ The one equation that changed how I see marriage forever
➤ Why your partner doesn’t feel respected (and how to shift it without losing yourself)
➤ The real reason your date nights aren’t cutting it
➤ And a tiny communication tweak from the Gottmans that could save your next argument (it’s already saved 2 for me)

As a married couple who’s done 22 quarterly marriage alignment retreat weekends (yes, with toddlers) and built a life we love on purpose - we walk the talk and experiment as we go.

This episode will flip what you think you know about love on its head.

This one’s for the high-achieving couples who are ready to feel in sync again.

You don’t need more time. You need better tools. This episode has them!

Feeling stuck when it comes to setting goals with your partner? Wondering how to get on the same page and actually achieve those goals as a team? This episode is packed with ideas to help you break out of the day-to-day routine and dream bigger, together.

In this episode, we’re sharing:

✅ The top 5 goal themes we’ve uncovered from working with couples on their goals. One of them is sure to surprise you! It’s such a simple goal but without the goal, it just continues to suck so much of our energy and keeps us stuck and resentful!

 
✅ Goals actual couples have set in our Marriage Alignment Program - everything from money to home renos to the one thing we keep putting off but that’s sooo important.

✅ Why setting goals over 90 days (instead of one-time conversations) can transform your relationship and have you actually taking action.

Whether you're craving better financial clarity, smoother weeknight routines, or simply want to feel more like a team, this episode will give you ideas to spark deeper connection and intentional living.

Be sure to listen so you can start dreaming bigger together!

EPISODE DETAILS

What happens when a reluctant spouse agrees to try a new approach to marriage alignment? For my mentor and friend, Heather Hubbard and her husband, Mike, the results were HUGE!

Married at 18, they’ve navigated 26 years together, including near-divorce and an addiction. Heather is a former lawyer turned entrepreneur and Mike is blue-collar. 

He had been complaining about retirement and thinking they didn't have a good retirement plan. So, Heather got the Marriage Alignment Program and he reluctantly agreed to do it. 

AND EVERYTHING SINCE THEN HAS CHANGED! 

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Heather’s 3 actionable tips for navigating life transitions (like a career)
• How the Program made financial planning easy and took the emotions out of it. He realized they were better off financially than he realized and he loved feeling in the loop and knowing there was a plan. 
• How Mike was shocked by the results. For the first time, he had come up with individual goals and was trying new things. Woohoo! And, she's NEVER seen him do that before! 
• How it sparked new intimacy, adventure, and personal growth for both of them.

If you and your partner feel stagnant, disconnected or have an issue that you disagree on like a home reno project, this episode is proof that small changes can lead to BIG transformations. Don’t miss it!
