    304 | things no one warned us about marriage & parenting

    Marriage and parenting are often painted as beautiful, fulfilling journeys (and they are!). But there are also parts no one really talks about until you’re in the middle of them. In this episode, we’re getting real about the unexpected challenges that catch couples and parents off guard. From shifting identities and communication struggles to the mental load, loneliness, and loss of spontaneity, we’re unpacking the truths people don’t always share before saying “I do” or bringing home a baby. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, navigating early parenthood, or deep in the trenches, this honest conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and a little more prepared for what’s ahead.

    303 | you asked, we gave our advice

    Four years ago, we recorded an episode built entirely around questions from our community- real questions from you, and our unfiltered advice in response! It ended up being one of our most-loved episodes, and listening back, it still feels just as relevant today. We’re bringing it back because the core of it hasn’t changed: people are still figuring things out, still asking the same kinds of questions, and still looking for honest, thoughtful advice. There’s something special about revisiting where we were, what we said, and seeing how it all holds up now. Whether you were there the first time or you’re hearing it for the first time now, we hope you enjoy this throwback episode and maybe even find a few answers you didn’t know you needed.

  3. The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe | Jennie Allen

    The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe | Jennie Allen

    In this episode, we sit down with our friend, bestselling author, and speaker Jennie Allen. Jennie is also the founder of IF:Gathering, a global movement that equips and disciples women around the world. Jennie has just released her newest book, The Lie You Don't Know You Believe, which explores the hidden lies many of us carry about ourselves. In the book, she unpacks how these quiet but powerful beliefs influence our decisions, our identity, and the way we pursue success and fulfillment. One of the themes we explore in this conversation is the surprising emptiness many people feel after reaching the goals they once believed would finally make them happy- whether it’s career success, influence, financial stability, or personal milestones. Thank you for coming on our show, Jennie! https://www.jennieallen.com/ You can order her book directly here: https://www.amazon.com/Lie-You-Dont-Know-Believe/dp/1400249821?crid=1O55W1X8A66DJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.z1ASMlbX_ciP8Y5YryxYPaJ6zdNjIGZIwzzOweF24-gj5K23Xjtj3dS0UlZPxaY63-awEySPdUnqKXOCW5riUYfytvqsFyjTN1v44h5iE7-Dl0TkySW2d2F4X0DONwSQ.Y1vMFOIBHK9RFIkiMQ4Tt8VaihRiQR0rSAvoOwIIxO8&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+lie+you+dont+know+you+believe+jennie+allen&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1772506059&sprefix=the+lie+you,aps,212&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1&linkCode=sl2&tag=emilycanlette-20&linkId=35a9accd0c8fe7a2444f826bfe26acc5&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl Learn more about your ad choices.

    301| take this for what it’s worth

    In this episode we dive into one of humanity’s oldest and biggest questions: faith. If thousands of religions exist, what does it really mean to choose a God? Is faith something we inherit, something we discover, or something we decide? This isn’t about winning an argument — it’s about exploring the deep questions that shape how we live our lives. Whether you're religious, spiritual, agnostic, or atheist, this conversation invites you to think critically about what gives life meaning. Join the discussion in the comments!

    296 | we don't need each other anymore

    This episode got raw. In Episode 2 of our series, we sit down as husband and wife and say the words that made us most vulnerable: we don’t need each other. What started as an honest conversation turned emotional—tears, tension, disagreements, and a level of vulnerability we’ve never shared publicly. We talk about breaking free from co-dependency, redefining partnership, and what it actually means to choose each other instead of needing each other to survive. We’d love to hear your thoughts— 👉 Did this episode resonate with you? 👉 Did it challenge how you see relationships? 👉 Any insights or personal experiences you want to share?

    295 | your happiness is not my responsibility

    Well... This series wasn’t planned. It started with us unpacking three phrases that have hit our marriage the hardest: “It’s not my job to make you happy.” “We don’t need each other.” “I’m going to let you down.” Each episode breaks down one of these conversation starters—and what followed was not easy. There are tears. There are real-time arguments. And there are very honest conversations we almost kept private. This is Part 1 of a three-part series. Parts 2 and 3 are coming over the next two weeks—stay tuned. We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Do you agree? Have you had these conversations in your own relationship?

    Wake Up Your Life: Hal Elrod on the Miracle Morning

    In this episode, we sit down with Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning, to explore the habits and mindset shifts that can transform your life. Hal shares the story behind his life-changing morning routine and how the S.A.V.E.R.S. method — Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing — has helped millions take control of their days before the world takes control of them. We also dive into his personal journey of overcoming a near-fatal car accident and a battle with cancer, and how those experiences shaped his philosophy on resilience, emotional responsibility, and choosing faith over fear. This conversation is packed with practical strategies for building discipline, elevating your mindset, and creating extraordinary results through small, consistent actions.

    297 | I will let you down

    This is the final episode in this series. After “It’s Not My Job to Make You Happy” and “We Don’t Need Each Other,” this conversation lands on a hard but honest truth: we will let each other down. This episode isn’t about blame or perfection—it’s about vulnerability, marriage, and the realities we don’t always say out loud. These conversations are shared with the hope that honesty might help someone else feel less alone. Please be mindful in the comments. If something resonates with you, we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Love you guys!

    an electric interview

    In this conversation, we explore a very important conversation and touch on parenting in a modern world, making informed choices around health and wellness, and why legacy isn’t built through grand gestures, but through small, consistent decisions made over time. The daily ride to school is an overlooked public health issue, how diesel exhaust impacts children’s development, and why electric school buses offer immediate, tangible benefits for kids, families, and communities. Duncan breaks down what makes fleet electrification uniquely challenging — and how Highland removes the financial and logistical barriers so school districts can focus on what matters most: education. From local school districts to the global stage of the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t always mean reinventing the wheel — sometimes it means making something familiar healthier, quieter, and better for the next generation. Love you guys! Shawn & Andrew (00:00) duncan & highland electric fleets — overview (02:40) meet duncan (06:04) curating meaningful experiences with your kids (07:44) duncan’s how and why (10:29) why join a startup in this industry (15:00) what highland electric fleets does (17:23) the benefits of electric fleets (20:50) a community-driven mission (24:35) la school districts + la28 (30:35) efficiency of this energy source Learn more about your ad choices.

    292 | what a year it's been

    In this episode, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our past year together- and honestly, what a year it’s been. We’re walking through everything that happened: the trips we never imagined we’d take, the amazing guests we've had on this show, the chaos that came with doing Special Forces, writing our upcoming book, settling into a new house, and all the unexpected highs and lows in between. This year challenged us, stretched us, and changed us in ways we’re still processing, but it also reminded us how lucky we are to do life- and this podcast, together. Most importantly, we just want to say thank you. We truly wouldn’t be here without you- our listeners. Your support, messages, and encouragement mean more to us than we can ever fully explain. We’re beyond grateful to have this community and so excited to celebrate another year of Couple Things with you. Here’s to what’s next 🤍 Love you guys!
