For The Girl

Q&A with Mac and Tyler: Marriage, Parenting, In-law Dynamics, Politics, and Dating Advice

Listen Later

This week on For The Girl, I'm joined AGAIN by my husband, Tyler, for a fun and honest Q&A! From marriage highs and parenting lows to navigating in-laws, friendships, and even the dreaded "Is he into me or just being nice?" question—nothing’s off limits. Whether you're single, dating, married, or raising toddlers, this episode brings a dose of laughter, practical advice, and heartfelt encouragement. Tyler shares wisdom from a guy's perspective, and I keeps it real with vulnerable insights on love, communication, and what it actually takes to stay connected when life gets chaotic. Trust us, you’ll want to send this one to all your girls (and maybe your guy too 😉).
