“We committed to not only marrying the person that you're with but to commit to marrying the person that you don't know yet. You don't know who this person's gonna be in 15 years, but I'm still committed and I'm still married to whoever he is in 15 years.“ - Krystina

For today’s podcast episode, I invited another special couple Krystina and Travis Jackson. Krystina and Travis have been married for over 15 years and the story of how they got together is quite interesting! Before Krystina and Travis started dating, they were just friends who enjoyed each other’s company. They were both looking for an apartment at the same time, so for convenience reasons, they decided to live together. 

Shortly after Krystina and Travis moved into the apartment, they ended up getting engaged, and only three weeks later, they got married! Tune in as Krystina and Travis share their story of how they met, how they became a couple, what it was like getting married at the age of 22, and much more!

In this episode, we chat about:

• How Krystina & Travis met
• How did they become partners and start living together
• The very first fight right after getting married
• Krystina & Travis share how did they know “she/he” is the one

“We dated for three months. Then we got engaged, and we were married three weeks later.” - Travis

Welcome back to the second part of the interview with Amber & Marcus Randolph. In the previous episode, we talked about how Amber and Marcus met and how they made their long-distance relationship work. 

In this podcast episode, we go even deeper! Long-distance relationship dating is very different from actually living together. Right after Amber & Marcus got married, Amber moved from Los Angeles to New Jersey. The transition was not easy, but Amber & Marcus made it work once again through honest communication, being vulnerable and patient, and open to learning about each other even after 17 years. 

In this episode, we chat about:

• The biggest pain points when transitioning from long distance to living together
• From partying all night to staying at home with kids
• How to communicate honestly and vulnerably in a relationship
• Recommitting to the person you’re becoming as you’re discovering new sides of yourself
• The key components of a healthy loving partnership

“We had a lot conversations about marriage, what marriage looked like and what we wanted, but nothing actually compares to actually being in it.” - Amber

If you are in a long-distance relationship or know of someone who is in a long-distance relationship, you know that they are not easy. Some of them have a happy ending and others end before they even start. So what makes a good long-distance relationship? How can you make it work? 

I have invited a phenomenal couple Amber and Marcus Randolph who didn’t let the distance defeat their relationship. On the contrary, it made their relationship stronger and now they have been together for over 17 years! Tune in as we talk about how did they meet, how did they design their relationship, and how they made it work despite the distance.

In this episode, we chat about:

• How Amber and Marcus met
• What was unique about meeting Marcus for the first time
• Amber and Marcus share what was it like to date long distance
• Amber and Marcus give advice on dating long distance

“If we had not dated long distance, we probably would not have gotten married.” - Marcus

I have always been intrigued by and wanted to share different perspectives and strategies. Being in a relationship is not always as easy as it looks from the outside. Sometimes we might get stuck on what partnership or a marriage “should look like” instead of designing a relationship that works for us. 

This podcast shares insights to support you on your journey as you navigate within your partnerships. Now, let’s open our hearts and minds and replace judgment with curiosity as we dive deep into the keys of a successful partnership and/or team.

In this episode, I chat about:

• Why I started Sol Insights Podcast
• What the key is to a successful union
