Opening up about my faith and what that really looks like on a day to day life, naturally fits with how I teach my kids about Jesus. Essentially, I model it by being real and letting my kids see my flaws so that they can also see how Jesus heals, restores and forgives.

00:48 Disclaimer: I love you!

03:15 Our kids watch what we do and mimic us.

Unfortunately, you could call me an expert on bullying as I have dealt with it in every walk of life from children, adults, friends and even family.

Join me today for a quick chat while I share a few funny tidbits of my own story and the tools I’ve used to heal and set those boundaries.

Did Mila accidentally call Mat a mule? Maybe. But it’s okay. This is just okay-ish advice! Husband and wife, of almost 15 years, cozy up in their bed to share their best advice on leaving and cleaving from their family and joining together in matrimony— yes, even Italians can do this.

1. I come from a very “involved and close-knit family”. It’s been a struggle of boundaries with my family in my marriage. I know you and Mateo understand because you are both Italian. How do I protect my marriage?

1. How do you keep life spicy after being married for so long? Especially with the craziness of everyday life?

1. Our 15 year wedding anniversary is coming up. What has been the biggest challenge being married to me and how have we walked through that?

Shower sex? Totally dangerous or the best thing ever? Tune into that debate as Mila and her friend Tanya dive headfirst into the taboo topic of Sex and Intimacy. They give some pretty okay-ish advice as well as sharing a few antidotes that, are well.. not. Ya gotta love Italian grandparents. 👀 Whether you’ve been married six months or six years, this is a must-listen for every married woman! Also, not suitable for work.. or tiny.. or prude ears. Love ya! 💋

1. In the hustle and bustle of life (jobs, kids, life, etc.) how do you keep intimacy alive in your marriage?

1. I was raised in a home where shame was cultivated around sex and it was a subject we didn’t talk about. I have such a hard time expressing my needs to my husband in the bedroom. Do you have any advice?

1. Do you have any advice on “having the talk” with my kids?
