In today’s episode we talked about how to encourage effort over outcome, balancing competition with fun and enjoyment, when to push, when to step back, managing expectations if your child plays for fun vs. playing to compete, preventing burnout at a young age and much more!! Let us know your thoughts :)
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! :)

273 | The Hardest Times in Our Relationship (and What Helped Us Through)
Today’s episode was a vulnerable one. Andrew and I have walked through some hard times in our marriage that, at the time, were honestly really rough. Looking back now, they have brought us so much closer together and we’re better for it. Today we’re sharing some of the hardest seasons of our marriage in hopes that it encourages anyone out there to feel less alone. NOBODY has a perfect marriage and the more open we can be with each other about the struggles, the more we can support each other to keep fighting the good fight. If you’re going through a hard time in marriage just remember, It’s never too late to ask for help or bring people in to walk with you through it.
Love you guys,
Shawn & Andrew
