The Fortitude Podcast
Hello, and welcome to The Fortitude Podcast. We're your hosts, Micah and Sarah. You may know us from TikTok or Instagram (@micahandsarahhh) but we are coming to the podcast space to talk about life experiences that have tested and strengthened us and built our fortitude – the strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage. Every Tuesday we have conversations with each other, our friends, and we answer your questions about relationships, faith, mentality, trauma, healing - ultimately all the things in life that make up the human experience! When you're in a tough season, it is so important to know that you're not alone and you are capable of making it to the other side. Join us each week as we share personal stories that will help you to feel encouraged, learn to stay hopeful, and most importantly, fill you with a little more fortitude.

We get asked often about the habits we have that strengthen our faith and help us put God at the center of our life and marriage. Many days our "ideal" list of habits doesn't happen, but we discuss some of the practical, small habits we've attached to other daily tasks that have been helpful for us whether or not those bigger "ideals" actually happen in a day. God knows the desires of our heart and His presence and love never chang...

This week we dive into body image, particularly around the postpartum season, but also the pressures that come from society no matter what season we are in. Even when we know what is realistic, it can be hard to not compare and feel 'less than' about our bodies or the progress we are looking to make. Our conversation this week centers on Sarah's experience with "bouncing back" after pregnancy (spoiler alert, this isn't a thing, lol...

The tables are turned this week as Micah asks Sarah the questions she asked him last week. SHOCKER, she is a bit more emotional than he was as she goes into her answers :) Our goal with doing Q & A's every so often is that you'll feel inspired to do something similar with a partner or a friend! We learn something new about each other every time we do this, and we always finish the recording feeling closer than when we started. Tha...

We love doing Q&A episodes every so often! Not only does it allow our listeners to get to know us better, but we almost always learn something about each other that we didn't already know. I ask Micah Q's like, what was your favorite childhood memory (this answer is a super fun one), what is something you learned from your parents that you value most, what's your favorite guilty pleasure and so much more. Come have a ball with us a...

As I (Sarah) was heading to a massage the other day I was wondering if men experience parental guilt when they take time for themselves the way I know that so many women do. So I decided to ask Micah about this and we have a candid conversation about how parental guilt differs but can also feel very much the same for both men and women. We hope this encourages someone out there. We love you!

Micah has been dealing with chronic pain for years and today we are unpacking how persistent pain/illness effects not just your day-to-day mentality, but if you're praying for healing and not receiving it, your prayer life and faith as well. We also touch on losing loved ones who you've prayed to be healed and how our understanding of God's character can make or break the way we look at and experience life. We hope this encourages...

Before having a baby we knew so little that we didn't even know what to ask those experienced parents around us. Today we're talking through the things we wish we would've asked and known that would've made our transition into parenthood just a liiiiiittle bit smoother :)

Last Episode of the year and the season! We continue our discussion from last week moving into the habits and faith component of being new parents. We dive into how we are learning to form new disciplines and ways of worshiping God with less free time (and more exhaustion, ha!) than we had before. We also talk transparently about how difficult it can be to remain present in the now and how we are working to rewire our brains to be ...

Micah gets fired up this week! We have a candid conversation about some of the identity struggles we've had becoming parents and how we've been able to re-frame them. How you think about things can change everything, and we discuss some of the tools and mindsets that have helped us in this transitional season.

We have had many twists and turns in our lives, especially right as we crossed paths. We re-live our story of overcoming...grief, trauma, self-images in need of repair and the path we both took to healing. We pray that despite whatever you're going through or have gone through, you know you're not alone in your path to overcoming and healing. We love you all so very much!
