After decades of raising kids, building routines, and chasing goals, why don't we feel further along?
In this episode, we discuss candidly what it’s like navigating life in our 50s: becoming first-time grandparents, reevaluating what “productivity” means, coping with physical and spiritual changes, and finding ways to stay grounded in our marriage throughout it all.
It’s not a midlife crisis, but it is a strange in-between season—w...
We reflect on our son’s graduation from Benedictine College, the emotions it stirred, and why this season feels like a spiritual turning point. We also discuss easy ways to follow Pope Leo XIV’s papacy and explore how God meets us despite our past and calls us forward — again and again.

We’ve heard the Beatitudes countless times at Mass or when reading the Bible, but how much do we actually understand them?
In this episode, we wrap up our two-part discussion on Matthew 5 and what the Beatitudes really mean—and honestly, some of these hit harder than we expected.
🔹 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…...
📖 Are the Beatitudes just a list of rules, or do they reveal something deeper? Many Catholics and Christians misunderstand these powerful words of Jesus in Matthew 5—especially what it means to be “poor in spirit,” to mourn, and to be meek.
