And Counting with Steve & Alyssa McMasters

And Counting with Steve & Alyssa McMasters

Marriage is challenging, we get it. But what if we told you the standard of two people giving up their own lives to become one is outdated? What if your marriage is supposed to be fun, open, sexy and liberating rather than the “old ball and chain that ruins your life forever?” What if we changed the narrative that marriage and parenting is 50/50 to 100/100? Join Alyssa and Steve McMasters (married for 2 years And Counting…) as they share hilarious dating tips, inspirational marriage lessons and mediocre parenting advice with the witty banter you would hope for from a couple in their 30s who send out a half naked Christmas card each year. If you are looking for dating, marriage or parenting advice that goes against the status quo, or you just need some relatable laughs on your drive to work, this show is for you.

Shame is the killer of pleasure, yet shame and pleasure are known to go hand in hand in our society. We are told  that when we experience sexual pleasure we should be quite about it and when a future partner asks, we should pretend that they are the only person we have ever been with to make them think they are the only person in the world. Hallmark tells us this is romantic, I call bullshit.

Dating is hard, there are a thousand things you need to think about. Is this person going to get along with my family?  Is this person going to fit into my lifestyle? Is this person going to murder me?

In this podcast we talk about the Red and Green flags we looked for when we were dating for marriage. No, not the typical. "He doesn't have a job" or "He cheated on me". We dig deep into our dating h...

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
