Some of the most defining moments in life don’t happen on purpose, they blindside you, break the plan, and leave you trying to make sense of what just happened.

Toxic people come in many forms — and they’re not always easy to recognize. Sometimes it’s the friend who only shows up when they need something. Other times, it’s the family member who crosses a line and expects you to stay quiet.

In this episode, we talk about the real signs of toxicity, how to tell the difference between someone who’s flawed vs. someone who’s manipulative, and the hard truth about letting go — even when it’s unco...

Modern marriage is a lot to manage — and with kids in the mix, it can feel like total chaos. In this episode, we’re breaking down the real systems that keep our relationship (and sanity) intact: from shared calendars and clear roles to how we finally merged finances and why we think one bank account changed everything.

Marriage is on the decline, and we’re not surprised — but we are concerned.

In this episode, we unpack why fewer men want to get married, how dating culture has changed, and what it means for the next generation (including our daughters).

Ever wish you could go back and give your younger self a real talk? Yeah… same. In this episode, we get honest about the hard lessons we’ve learned—about fear, friendships, love, focus, and how not all advice is worth listening to.

From dimming our own light to make others comfortable, to holding grudges that stole years we can’t get back, we’re unpacking all the moments that taught us what really matters. This one’s for anyone stil...

So what really changes after you get married and have kids? We sit down in our 30s to unpack it all: how our immune systems have taken a nosedive and how everything from sleep training to diaper bags became our new reality. We chat about how friendships change, why date nights feel like a distant memory, and the guilt and joy that come with planning every move around two wild toddlers. We even share why waiting to have kids in our ...
