Over the years we have encountered some extremely awesome people. This week our guests are two of those people, Amanda & Dashawn from the “This Functional Family Podcast”. Recently they have surpassed 10k subscribers & 1 million views on a reel. We’re super excited to have them join us. We share our thoughts on partner or purpose , partner or passion and can marriage be boring? We take a trip to the bank and realize that there are different types of relationship currencies in which we all make withdrawals & deposits! Finally we are given a few gems that we now call “morsels” such as proactive people prepare while reactive people repair. This episode is full of loaves of insightfulness that will leave you thirsty for more. Take a sip and enjoy!

Getting ready for the summer! Summer dresses & summer flings!

This week we’re loaded with shields and antidotes.

Shame, blame and perfectionism are all parts of the viscous cycle we call life that we navigate day to day. But we are resilient. We adapt and pivot. Be kinder to yourself , let the light in through the crack. We’re here for a good time not a long time. Enjoy!
