Our Uncommon Life

Well, this is the first episode that we feature a guest...and we couldn't be more excited to bring you our conversation with our nephew Dylan. Dylan had a cool idea to talk about family traditions and how to merge traditions when you are in a relationship. It was fun to dig into how different families interact and talk about the importance of setting boundaries within your relationship to make sure that you are staying true to your needs in the relationship. This was such a fun conversation and the cool part....it was all Dylans idea! We do go down a Christmas/holiday rabbit hole so you may be craving a big turkey dinner after you listen in.

It's time to talk about our favorite day of the week...DATE NIGHT! We absolutely love our down time together and always want to make sure it is scheduled in, because really.... if it's not on our calendars, it's not happening! On today's episode we explain why date night is so important to us, what we do for date night, and how it's essential to be present with your partner.

Zac is back in the podcast studio this week and he came with a fun topic in mind....how we view money. We do a fun little dive into what matters to us the most when it comes to money decisions, and what we are trading off when we try and save a buck or two. This is just a different way to look at things and works for us in our marriage and our businesses. So ask yourself, what is your mindset around money? Is it positive, is it scarcity, is it abundent or is it a chore? Believe it or not, the way you think about money is how it shows up in your life.

This week's episode is a solo episode by Vena while Zac is out getting some work done. On top of our crazy schedules, Vena talks about how she got sick and that prompted some interesting conversations. Sometimes you need to just flat out ask your partner for what you need, AND explain what you need clearly. Stepping outside your comfort zone and just being honest with your spouse about your needs...IS OK!!!

Vena is finally back from her trip to Ireland with the work girls! In today's episode, hear her recap her adventures, talk about splitting the G and why you should say yes to big things more often.

If you are looking for a private driver/tour, please consider Con Dooley at Dooley Irish Tours for your next trip. They took care of our group and we highly highly recommend them for your needs while in the beautiful country.

In this week's episode, Zac is throwing it down all by his self while Vena is in Ireland. He talks about what he looks forward to most when he is living the "single life", and the little things he misses while Vena is gone. It's a nice reminder to pay attention to the little things that your partner does in your marriage/relationship.

After 13 years of marriage, we are bound to have some annoyances with each other, and that's what we dive into in this week's episode. Marriage is fun and full of love, but sometimes we make each other a bit batty with our quirks...and that's totally normal! Sometimes you just have to not sweat the small stuff, take a deep breath, and realize everyone is different and unique... and that not everyone puts the lids on containers correctly.

This weeks episode is a fun lil chat/recap of all the upcoming trips we have this summer...and how we are so crazy busy right now we have had no time to do the research we usually do for our travels. We are looking for suggestions for things to do in Montreal, and LA. Food, drinks, anything worth seeing (or not seeing) send us your recs.

Oooooo in this week's episode we take a deep dive into all thing's accountability: Self-accountability, accountability groups, and how accountability can actually improve your life. In our marriage, in our business, and just in our lives in general we have learned that if you take accountability for your mistakes.... things actually go a lot smoother, and you can stop conflict in its tracks.

Welp....this episode is allllllll about adulting, and adulting hard. We are diving into those conversations that you shy away from, but really need to just take head on (sooner rather than later) Pre-nups, Trust and Wills, Divorce, Business Partnerships and more! Pretty scary but CRITICAL conversations that are better to have before disaster strikes. Listen, no one wants to talk about crazy possibilities, but it's better to do so when you are calm and collected instead of in the middle of Chaos.
