What We Would (and Wouldn’t) Have Done Differently as Parents
In today’s episode we looked back on those early parenting years, the sweet, messy, exhausting days, and shared what we’d do differently and what we definitely wouldn’t change. From little routines to bigger decisions, we open up about the lessons we’ve learned and the moments we’d do exactly the same all over again. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and stories too!
Love you guys!

everyone's a bad choice (choosing your spouse)
In today’s episode we talked about how "everyone's a bad choice.’ Everyone comes with flaws, baggage, and annoying habits — the trick is realizing love isn’t about finding perfection, it’s about choosing someone imperfect and choosing them again and again. We go through why we think this and would love to hear your thoughts too!
Love you guys!

Dr. John Delony
Today we sat down with the incredibly wise mental health expert, author, and radio personality, Dr. John Deloney. With a passion for helping people thrive in their relationships, John tackles various questions from callers live on his podcast, “The Dr. John Deloney Show.” We brought some of those unique and challenging questions onto this episode and included additional questions sent in by our audience! After spending over twenty years in crisis response and finding real solutions and freedom in his own wellness journey, John knew he wanted to help as many people as possible heal from their past trauma and live whole, connected lives. We think he’s doing an amazing job at this and we hope this episode is enlightening! :)
