    “Stop Sliding and Start Deciding” with Amy M. Gardner & Keith R. Sbiral

    We’re joined by Amy M. Gardner and her husband, Keith R. Sbiral, who have been married for 23 years, own Apochromatik together and have traveled to all 50 states, 55 countries, and 6 continents! They recently finished our VIP Quarterly Marriage Alignment Program and are sharing their experience and transformations with you.

    You’ll learn:

    ✅ How planning ahead creates freedom and allows for quick, intentional decisions.

    ✅ A game-changing way to plan your weekends—so they’re filled with fun, not just errands.

    ✅ The unique and themed health goal they created together (wait until you hear about “Yogaust”!).

    ✅ How they challenge the status quo, get on the same page, and have meaningful conversations about things they wouldn’t normally discuss.

    ✅ Why they refuse to let “being busy” or “not having time” become excuses.

    If you’re looking for ways to be more intentional in your marriage, create shared goals, and make time for what truly matters, don’t miss this episode!

    EPISODE DETAILS

    We just finished our 20th Quarterly Marriage Alignment Retreat (QMAR) weekend! This is a huge accomplishment we’re celebrating! 

    This means, in 5 years we’ve met, as a couple, every quarter and intentionally planned our lives over a weekend. 

    Now it’s time to let you in on the Q4 couple goal we’ve just set and one of our individual goals - that are on Post-it notes in our bathroom.

    In this week’s episode, we’ve distilled 5 of the transformations we’ve experienced in our lives and marriage after meeting as a couple 20 times, over 5 years, to intentionally plan our lives. 

    Some of the transformations that we’ve experienced and YOU CAN TOO, include:

    1 - a deeper love and strong connection in our marriage 

    2 - a clear future vision of our lives together backed up with a step-by-step plan. Full clarity, zero confusion.

    3 - The compound effect of quick decision cycles i.e. Set the goal, complete the goal, and do this on repeat every quarter with our QMAR Framework. 

    To know the other 2 transformations, you'll have to listen to the episode!

    Don’t know how to get your spouse on board with future life planning? 

    Know that this is totally normal. Nothing has gone wrong! 

    It is common to have one spouse be less eager and be resistant. In fact, my husband, Tom, only agreed to doing it back in Jan 2020 to “get me off his back”!

    In this episode of the Marriage with Intention Podcast, we’re spilling: 

    • The story of how Tom went from being hesitant and embarrassed to raving about how transformational future life planning is
    • 5 proven strategies I’ve used and our clients have shared with us to get their spouses on board 
    • 3 of our most recent failures, the importance of failing and learning how to fail
    • 5 ways we deal with failure so we can keep on creating our dreams

    EPISODE DETAILS

    Want to know the EXACT FRAMEWORK we’ve used to intentionally plan our lives together? Then, this episode is for YOU!

    We’re breaking down the EXACT 5 Session Framework we’ve been using since January 2020 to get more done in 1 year than most couples do in 10 years!

    Learn how we’ve gone from individually planning our lives and NOT being on the same page with our goals and future life vision to getting aligned on our values, goals and as a couple.

    By doing this Framework together, we’ve realized we share a common life value - freedom - and we’ve realized dream after dream, including:

    • Starting a family with fertility assistance
    • Creating multiple streams of income
    • Slow travel to Amsterdam and Portugal for 6 weeks, taking our son on 26 flights before he turned 2 years old and traveling to Sardinia, Italy for the month of June before the arrival of our second child
    • Financial independence: Becoming millionaires in our 30s and creating financial stability that allowed us to both retire from the practice of law, so we can pursue our next dreams of entrepreneurship and a life by our own design
    • A Fun goal: Aman and Matteo were extras in 2 Christmas rom-com movies
    • Took a risk and invested in a local start-up company that ended up failing

    Let us introduce you to a Quarterly Marriage Alignment Retreat - a transformative, life-changing framework to help you intentionally plan life with your spouse, discover your larger life vision together and get clear on a future life plan.

    This show is a MUST-LISTEN for driven couples!

    EPISODE DETAILS

    Early in our legal careers, we hustled and followed advice to “be conservative” and pushed down who we really are and what we really wanted in life.

    BUT in 2018, we took action and started taking back control of our lives. Listen in to hear the action steps we took!

    In 2017, Aman paid off $98,500 in student loan debt and a Mercedes she bought (thank you lifestyle creep and to Tom for buying one too!). And, she paid it all off in 3.5 years, after desperately wanting just $1 to her name!

    Only to find out soon after that Tom had learned about the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) path. In 2018, Tom got Aman on board reluctantly and we sold both our Mercedes and became a one car family and increased our savings rate to 50-90% of our incomes!

    We later switched to the financial independence (FI) path, created multiple income streams, became millionaires in our 30s and earlier this year retired ourselves from the law at 38, with a 2 year old and a baby on the way. These choices have allowed us to pursue our next dreams of entrepreneurship! 

    Now, we have the time freedom we only dreamed of!

    Know this: What we've dreamed up individually and for our family might not be what YOU dream of for your life and that's what makes this work so fun!  

    What do you dream of for your life? 

    We are known for making someday happen and can help you do the same! Let us help you make your dreams a reality!

    Listen to hear how we did it, what steps we’ve taken and how you can too!

    This show is a MUST-LISTEN for driven couples!

    EPISODE DETAILS

    We’re known for making someday happen and can help you do the same! Let us help you figure out your life vision and dreams and make them a reality!

    Our upbringings are completely different, yet we’ve been able to align as a couple and create f*cking incredible results in our lives and our marriage.

    One of us comes from generations of lawyers and their dad was a judge, the other is the first in their family line to become a lawyer!

    Both of us grew up as rule followers and teacher’s pets, wanting the approval of others. But oh my, how things have changed!

    For one of us, getting into law school came easy and the other got rejected – but didn’t give up and got in with a terrible LSAT score!

    One of us started working at the age of 8, had to do Friday chores and homework in the summer - while the other did not! 

    Listen in to hear our stories, how different we are and most importantly, how we’ve aligned as a couple to:

    - re-invent ourselves,

    - re-decide what we’ve been taught growing up

    - what we’ve taken into our marriage and parenthood and

    - what we’ve left behind with intentionality.

    This show is a MUST-LISTEN for driven couples!
