    Men fail when they can't provide

    This week, we’re exploring failure through a lens that affects every relationship but is rarely talked about honestly: how men and women experience, interpret, and respond to the pressure of “providing.” We unpack the deeply rooted belief many men carry — that their worth is tied to success and productivity — and the fear that everything will fall apart if they stumble. For men, failure isn’t just a setback; it’s can be an identity crisis.But we also look at the other side of the dynamic: how women often feel the effects of pressure, how they navigate supporting a partner who ties their value to achievement, and how societal expectations apply pressure and shape their own sense of stability and resilience. We explore the tension between wanting to be cared for and wanting to share the load, and how we are renegotiating what strength and support really look like.This episode invites a more compassionate, balanced conversation about failure, masculinity, femininity, and the shared work of redefining what it means to be happy within a family.

    The true power of being the real you

    In this episode we answer a listener question and explore the courage, timing, and emotional complexity of sharing one’s identity within a marriage during a period of separation. Adam asks Meg to reflect on the pivotal moment she chose to tell him about her bisexuality while he was deployed. A decision made that carried both risk and hope. Through honest questions about communication, trust, and emotional impact, the episode invites listeners into the intimate space of our relationship navigating authenticity under extraordinary circumstances. We discuss the challenges of distance, the weight of timing, and the vulnerability required to share something so personal when life’s pressures are already high. This episode is not about judgment, but about reflection: how honesty reshapes connection, how courage can coexist with fear, and how moments of disclosure can become turning points in relationships. Listeners will hear themes of resilience, growth, and the ongoing journey toward deeper authenticity and trust.

    Strength isn't measured in medals - Part 1

    In this episode we take you inside Meg, Adam and Dotty's trip to Arlington, Texas for the World's Strongest Woman. Whilst the podium placing didn't happen, Meg discovered that the real victory wasn't about holding onto a title, but it was about the strength found in family, connection and shared experience. We explore the unique dynamic of Adam in the role of Meg's coach, balancing support, challenge and partnership both on and off the competition floor. Together, we reflect on what it means to 'win' when the medals don't tell the whole story and how the lessons of resilience, trust and family carry the most weight.
