We'll take you through our different upbringings, struggles with addiction, steps toward sobriety, and how we found a safe place in each other despite our different backgrounds.

From wild teenage parties to nights spent at the bowling alley, we'll walk you through how our past experiences shaped our lives and how we pushed through the setbacks and ultimately fell in love.

In addition to the personal stories and anecdotes, this episode offers inspiration and insights on overcoming challenges and building a successful relationship.
