Life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect it, and this one completely blindsided us. Logan and I have never shared this publicly before, but an unexpected struggle turned our world upside down—and taught us more than we could have imagined about love, resilience, and the power of true friendship. In this episode, we’re sharing an unexpected health struggle we faced together—one that tested our strength, our relationship, and how we show up for each other and the people we care about. It was one of those moments that makes you stop and reevaluate everything, including who’s really in your corner.
Takeaways: 1. How to navigate unexpected challenges as a couple and come out stronger. 2. The role real friends play during life’s toughest moments. 3. How to build and nurture a support system you can truly count on. But here’s the thing: what this experience revealed about friendship and resilience caught us both off guard. We'll share exactly what that was in the episode—you don’t want to miss it. After you listen, let us know your thoughts—like, comment, and share!
