In this episode, we're discussing the stigmas around working moms and stay-at-home moms and how we decided what works for us. But make no mistake, whichever choice you choose, we support. Moms play an important and amazing role everyday whether it's at home or in an office!

Whether you've been together for one year or twenty years, it's so important to keep things new and fresh in your relationship. Throw some kids into the mix and sometimes you can feel like you and your partners have somehow turned into nothing more than roommates.
 
In this episode, we're talking about how to rekindle that spark in your relationship and how to find ways to date your spouse. Dating is stressful enough when you're single but just because there's a ring on it doesn't mean it should end!

We talk A LOT about marriage on this podcast - and hey, it's because we're both married. But marriage isn't the goal for a lot of people and that is a perfectly valid thing! Forget the stigma, today's it's all about the #nomarriage club!
 
In this episode, we're talking with special guest Marcus (aka Sasha's best friend) about why he has decided marriage isn't for him, and why it's not something that sound necessarily be aspirational or mean that your any less of an adult if you choose not to peruse it.

We've said it time and time again - having a baby changes everything. And for most women, the biggest change of all happens to our bodies. What happens when the baby comes and you look in the mirror and realizes things just ain't sitting the way they use to.
 
In this episode, we're talking all about our struggles with our post-baby bodies and how we're working on our own personal snap backs while learning to love our new bodies. Because self-love is so important, even when you look a little different than you use to.

How many times have you done something to show your partner some love to only have them act unappreciative? Most likely it was because you were speaking YOUR love language and not THEIRS.
 
In this episode, we're talking Love Languages and the book "The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts" By Gary Chapman. We're talking all about how our own love language has changed over the years and how learning to love your partner in the way they receive love can do wonders for your relationship.

Growing up how often did you hear "We've always done it this way" without ever really knowing why. In many families, the way we parent, even the way were are as people, is passed down from generation to generation without explanation. Only tradition. 
 
In this episode, Shara's husband Brandon joins us as we talk breaking those generational curses. We're talking everything from why we want to make better health decisions to how we want to parent our sons.

"When are you having a baby?" "When are you having another baby?" "You'll change your mind." If you're a woman of child-bearing age you've heard these questions many, many times. We've heard it all too. Right after we were congratulated on getting married came the kids questions. And it can be exhausting.
 
In this episode, we're talking all about how we made the decision on what the perfect family size means for us. We talk about everything from how we came to the decision on how many kids to have and why even asking the question needs to just go away.
