Who are Gissell and Charleston when they’re not behind the microphones talking about life’s biggest questions? You’ve heard their perspectives on relationships, personal growth, boundaries, healing, and the decisions that shape our lives. But this time, they’re doing something a little different. In this episode of Patio Talks, Gissell and Charleston are putting the heavier conversations aside and inviting listeners to get to know the two people behind the podcast. And let’s just say, these two have very different personalities! Charleston might look grumpy at first, but Gissell says he’s actually a big kid who loves being silly. He also claims he doesn’t eat sweets, although Gissell has a few things to say about that. Meanwhile, Charleston reveals that Gissell is affectionate, caring, constantly busy, and spontaneous, but there’s one particular habit of hers that he still cannot understand: setting alarms at times like 5:07 or 5:11 in the morning. They revisit their first impressions of each other, including why Gissell initially couldn’t stand Charleston, what eventually caught her attention, and the qualities that made them see each other differently. The conversation also takes a more meaningful turn as they share how their couples journal has helped them communicate, give each other space during disagreements, and approach everyday life as a team. From Halloween masks at Walmart and unexpected adventures in Florida to inside jokes, playful teasing, and the little things that make them laugh, this episode offers a glimpse into their everyday lives. No heavy topic. No big life lesson. Just two people with different personalities, sharing the funny, ordinary, and meaningful moments that make their relationship their own. So pull up a chair, get comfortable, and come meet Gissell and Charleston.
