Switching churches as a married couple came up on a card we pulled......

There are about 40 topics in and we only got through four, so there's plenty more to come!!

Thank ya'll for rocking with Us!

When layoffs hit, they can HIT HARD!

That's exactly what we talk about in this episode, not just financially, but emotionally and spiritually.

We talk through what it was like the morning it happened, the grief of losing a job while still grieving a parent, and the near miss with bankruptcy that followed. We get into what changed about how we saw providing for each other, and the plain conversation we eventually had to have about what we actually needed to hear from one another.

If you've been through something like this, we hope it helps.

Whose career comes first when there's a conflict? How do you know if a pivot is God's plan or just fear talking? We didn't have real answers to either of those for a long time.

In this episode we're breaking down how our careers actually came together, the wrong turns, the moments God stepped into the picture when we didn't even ask, and the process we now use to reverse engineer where we're headed instead of just reacting to what's next.

We didn't sit down one day and map out our careers. Honestly, most of it happened one decision at a time, and looking back, some of those decisions led us down interesting paths to say the least.

If you've ever felt behind, lost, or like you're just winging it, this one's for you.

You ever have one of those nights where the conversation starts in one place and ends up everywhere else? That's this episode.

What started out being about intentionality turned into authentic, funny moments between a husband and wife. Come sit in on our conversation as we reflect on life, talk tech, teaching, teachable moments, paying off debt, and pretty much everything under the moon and sun.

We can't promise you a linear line of thought...... but we can promise funny and insightful moments.

Ahhh, the POV of a wife! She's walking you through what our week looked like, from watching me lock in for my SANS certification test, to a much needed date night, to the very real soreness that hit after Pilates (her arms are still recovering). She's also talking about the reaction to our latest Reel.

People had a lot to say, surprisingly!

If you've ever had a week that felt like a little bit of everything, stress, connection, soreness, and internet chaos, you'll feel right at home in this one.

Be Careful Who You Confide In!!

In this episode, you'll finally get a sneak peak into our secret sauce! You'll find out why it matters, how we set it up from day one, and what happens when you talk too much to the wrong people. If your marriage is feeling fractured or stuck, this one's about building the community that actually holds you up instead of tears you down.

Send this to 2-3 people who you feel can benefit from this!

New episodes every Thursday.

This week we're catching you up after working our first-ever conference (behind-the-scenes chaos included) and finally getting back to a normal rhythm. We share a wall-cleaning hack that genuinely surprised us, a budget-friendly Costco run, day one of fasting week, a 6:30AM Pilates challenge, and a cologne pick where Wifey got final say. We close it out with date night, bowling with friends, and a flat tire we did not see coming.

A real week in our marriage, mess and all.

Can your in-laws come between you and your spouse?

In this episode we get honest about navigating in-laws in marriage, the moments that tested us, and the steps that actually helped us protect our marriage without disrespecting family.

We talk about why we waited to meet each other's families, what it means to honor your spouse's parents, how to bring an in-law problem to your spouse the right way, and why wise counsel matters more than picking sides. Real conversation, real marriage, no scripts, let's get into it!

If you have ever felt caught in the middle between your spouse and their family, this one is for you.

We went on a 30-mile electric bike ride along the PCH and did NOT use the assist on the way up!! BIG MISTAKE! LOL

That's just one moment from this week. 😅 This week we're bringing you into doctor appointments, real estate life, Pilates, a women's conference, and a conversation about something we've quietly been building.... our family vision. Just a real week with us.

Let's go!

Alright now, we are not going to lie to you, this episode is a lengthy one. BARE WITH US! LOL. But we promise every minute is worth it and we think you're going to feel seen by the time it's over!

Over the last few weeks as we were preparing and meditating on our topic for this episode, the theme of adult friendships kept coming up! So we decided to address it!

Adult friendships can look a lot different and even feel harder once you're married! Sometimes they can make or break a lot of things! We sat down in true TheChoz3ns fashion and just let the conversation flow, going every which way!

Some things we discussed:

• Why adult friendships are genuinely challenging to build and maintain
• How marriage changed the way we show up for our friends
• Grieving friendships we've outgrown and why that's actually okay
• How we make friends as a couple and what's actually worked for us
• Friends of the opposite sex, boundaries, and keeping it honest with your spouse

After you listen, send that "hey, I was thinking about you" text to somebody you've been meaning to check on. That's OUR challenge for YOU! 💙
