    Attorney Tells All...Why EVERYONE Needs Estate Planning with DeLonda K. Coleman, Esq.

    You think your family is covered. You're not alone — but you might be dead wrong. In one of the most important conversations Snooks and Lovey say they've had in eight years of podcasting, they sit down with their own personal estate planning attorney, Delonda Coleman, Esq., to expose the costly, heartbreaking assumptions that destroy families after someone dies. And the truth? It doesn't matter how much — or how little — you have. Without the right documents, your wishes don't exist. Delonda shares the case that started it all: a 17-year-old girl calling a retirement office after her mother's death, only to discover that an estranged husband who abandoned the family years earlier was legally entitled to 100% of her mother's retirement — because a beneficiary form was never updated. No will. No protection. No recourse. Then there's the couple together for 20 years — not legally married — who thought love was enough. It wasn't. After a car accident, a family member they'd never even met made all the medical decisions. The partner of two decades? Banned from the hospital room. Delonda walks Snooks and Lovey through the 7 essential estate planning documents every adult (yes — starting at age 18) needs to protect themselves and the people they love: ✅ Advance Healthcare Directive ✅ Power of Attorney ✅ Revocable Living Trust ✅ Trust Transfer Deed ✅ Assignment of Tangible Personal Property ✅ Certification of Trust ✅ Pour-Over Will You don't have to be wealthy. You don't have to be old. You just have to be intentional. 📌 Free legal forms available at: www.saclaw.org 📌 Contact Delonda Coleman, Esq.: www.dkcolemanlaw.com | 📞 916-896-0433 🧠 Register for the 4D Marriage Intelligence System Webinar: www.marriedintocrazy.com/4dmis 🎟️ Early Bird Tickets — 2027 Married Into Crazy® Winter Ball & Marriage Conference:www.marriedintocrazy.com/micball — Discount ends 10/31! 🌐 Subscribe, share & follow at marriedintocrazy.com

    Your S*x Life Bucket List with Susan Bratton

    Intimacy expert Susan Bratton, a past guest on The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, joins the Married Into Crazy podcast with a message too many couples never hear: passion does not expire, and intimacy should not be policed by age. On Diary of a CEO, Susan Bratton spoke with Steven Bartlett about moving from sexual disconnection to passionate reconnection, and about why lovemaking can improve with age. Here, she brings that same work to married life. Desire is not a young person's privilege. Menopause is not the closing chapter. A long relationship is not a reason to settle for distance. Ageism has no place in the bedroom. Susan Bratton is a relationship and intimacy expert, bestselling author, and CEO of Personal Life Media. For decades she has helped people turn having sex into making love, with honest communication, emotional safety, and enough novelty to keep desire alive. Her transformational Sex Life Bucket List is a practical way for couples to name what they still want, talk about it without shame, and treat curiosity as a lifelong practice rather than something they aged out of. From open conversations to the daily habits that sustain connection, she offers wisdom, humor, and tools couples can use at every stage, whether they are newly married, decades in, or convinced the best of their intimate life is already behind them. If you found Susan Bratton through her Diary of a CEO conversation and want the next step, this episode is it: a clear case that intimacy, pleasure, and devotion are skills you keep, not a season you outgrow. Watch now and take the first step toward a love life that gets richer with time, not quieter.

    Escape The Winter Fog: The Truth About Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) with Michelle Byrd, LCPC

    Do the shorter days and darker mornings leave you feeling perpetually exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed by a heavy fog you just cannot seem to shake?  In this episode, we sit down with licensed clinical professional counselor Michelle Byrd (LCPC) to pull back the curtain on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). While millions brush off low winter energy as ordinary tiredness, Michelle explains the biological and neurological mechanics behind seasonal depression, detailing how plummeting sunlight levels disrupt serotonin, melatonin, and circadian rhythms.  Throughout our conversation, Michelle breaks down the critical difference between occasional winter blues and clinical SAD, offering practical, evidence-backed tools you can start using immediately. We explore the clinical protocols for light therapy boxes, the mood benefits of intentional morning routines, cognitive behavioral strategies tailored for seasonal shifts, and when it is time to seek professional mental health support. If you are ready to reclaim your focus, stabilize your mood, and thrive even in the darkest months, tune in to discover actionable steps toward relief and renewal. Connect with Michelle Byrd, LCPC, and explore mental health resources mentioned in today's episode in the show notes below.  Remember to subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss an episode.  Get your tickets to the 2027 Married Into Crazy Winter Ball & Marriage Conference www.marriedintocrazy.com/micball

    Are Black Men Hard To Love? Reaction Video

    "Black men are extremely hard to love. Case closed." That's the viral TikTok claim by @theembodimentcoach that stopped Snooks in her tracks — and made her set up the ultimate reaction moment for Lovey, live on camera. In this raw and unfiltered episode, Snooks and Lovey (married 30+ years) break down the viral TikTok that's dividing the internet. Lovey's first take? "She's been hurt." But what starts as a reaction turns into one of the realest, most layered conversations about Black love, healing, generational trauma, and relationship expectations they've ever had. They tackle it all: Can you say all Black men are hard to love, or is that the same broad brush used against Black people for generations? Is it a Black man problem — or a men problem? What role do mommy issues, daddy issues, media, income expectations, and emotional unavailability play on BOTH sides? And what does it actually take to love someone — and be loved — when you're carrying wounds you don't even know you have? Snooks gets personal about her relationships before Lovey. Lovey challenges the idea that a degree or a six-figure salary should be the price of entry for love. And both agree on one thing: healing isn't optional — for him, for her, or for the community. This is the conversation the internet started. Snooks and Lovey finish it. 🧠 Register for the 4D Marriage Intelligence System Webinar at www.marriedintocrazy.com/4dmis 🎟️ Get your Early Bird Tickets for the 2027 Married Into Crazy® Winter Ball & Marriage Conference at www.marriedintocrazy.com/micball — Early Bird Discount ends 10/31! 🌐 Subscribe, like, share, and follow at marriedintocrazy.com

    Adult Children At Home - Rules, Boundaries, And Staying United As A Couple | Ep. 357

    "She's okay — the car isn't." One phone call about our daughter's accident exposed just how differently Snooks and Lovey respond to a crisis... and it almost turned into an argument. In this episode, married couple and marriage coaches Snooks and Lovey get real about what happens when your adult children move back home (or never fully leave). With over 25 million adults under 35 living with a parent in 2025, "boomerang kids" aren't rare — they're the new normal, and they're testing marriages everywhere. Snooks and Lovey (married 30+ years) pull back the curtain on their own household: house rules for adult kids, the sleepover debate, why vacations are off-limits, and the real story of Keanna's car accident that revealed their opposite DISC personalities in real time. Out of that moment, Snooks created the "CRAZY" framework — Compassion, Real, Accountability, Zealousness, and Yield — a practical tool for any couple navigating parenting disagreements, blended families, or high-stress "what-if" moments. This episode covers financial literacy for adult kids at home, setting boundaries without losing connection, why couples must discuss "what-ifs" before the crisis hits, and how to stay a united front in front of your children — even when you don't agree behind closed doors.  🎟️ Join us at the Married Into Crazy Winter Ball & Marriage Conference — February 5-6, 2027 in Sacramento, CA.

    Still Strangers After 30 Years Of Marriage? Part 2

    Part 2 gets even deeper. After warming up with lighthearted questions in Part 1, Snooks and Lovey dig into the "We're Not Really Strangers" card game's toughest rounds — the questions that reveal fears, regrets, and the lessons that took decades to unlearn. What's your spouse's superpower? What do they fear losing most? What title would you give this chapter of your life? The answers get real fast. In this half of the game, Snooks and Lovey open up about the lesson Snooks had to unlearn from growing up with a single mother, the moment she almost walked away from their marriage, why "surrender" is Lovey's definition of love, and the shared fear every long-married couple understands but rarely says out loud — losing each other. They also get into how their opposite personalities (High D and High S/C) fit together like a "concentric circle," and finish with a few laughs about Lovey's shoe collection and Snooks' love of foreign love stories.  If Part 1 made you laugh, Part 2 will make you feel — and challenge you to ask your own spouse these same questions. In this episode we cover: What do you think my superpower is? (and why it can be a burden too) The lesson Snooks had to unlearn about doing everything alone The moment their marriage almost ended — and what changed it Defining love as "surrender," not just feeling What title would you give this chapter of your life? Their opposite personalities and how they complement each other What do you fear the most? (a fear every long-married couple shares) Lighter moments: Netflix recommendations and what Lovey's shoes say about him 📌 Missed Part 1? Watch it first to catch the full "We're Not Really Strangers" experience.  📌 Join us at the Married Into Crazy Winter Ball & Marriage Conference — February 5–6, 2027, in Sacramento, CA.
