    324 | The Marital Challenges We Weren’t Ready For

    In this episode, we have an honest conversation about some of the parts of marriage we weren’t prepared for. The things that have challenged us, the ways we’ve had to grow individually and together, and the lessons we’re still learning along the way. We love our marriage, but that doesn’t mean every season has been easy- and there are definitely things we understand now that we couldn’t have understood when we first got married. This is a vulnerable one about expectations, communication, conflict, changing as people, and what it actually looks like to keep choosing each other through it all. Love you guys!

    The Courage to Commit to a Community with Shawn Johnson and Andrew East- Episode 1071

    We’re talking about community and commitment today… something we all can get a little bit better at, and one of my favorite couples is joining us for this conversation.  I’ve watched Shawn Johnson and Andrew East build such beautiful friendships here in Nashville, both in their season of life before kids and now with kids. As we get spiritually stronger, this is our reminder that we do not have to do that alone. We’re going to spend the next few weeks really talking about what it looks like to commit to community, how to communicate well, and why it matters. Their new book, The Courage to Commit, recently hit the New York Times bestseller list, and we got to celebrate that at the start of the show because there’s always a good reason to pull out the confetti poppers. Shawn and Andrew joined us back in 2019 for our couples series AND you can find them in episode 5 of my TV show, I Gotta Ask. They are just such kind and wise friends who are navigating both parenting, marriage, businesses, and casually winning reality shows like Special Forces. You know we had to talk about it.

    325 | how to know when it's time to break up?

    Breakups don’t always have to end with burned bridges, bad blood, and an ex becoming the villain of the story. In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to end relationships with grace, how we talk about our exes after the fact, what we’ve learned from relationships that didn’t work out, and whether it’s actually possible to walk away while still respecting what you once had. We’re getting honest about heartbreak, boundaries, forgiveness, and why the way you end a relationship can matter just as much as how you started it.

    322 | Failing Fantastically: The Skill Nobody Teaches You

    This episode we talked about one of the most important life skills that nobody really teaches us: how to fail well. We shared why failure isn't something to fear, but something to embrace, and how our biggest setbacks often become the moments that shape us the most. However... one show DOES teach us this and that's Gabbys Dollhouse! During a segment of this episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with the star of Gabbys Dollhouse, Laila Lockhart Kraner, to talk about a puppy-riffic addition coming to the Dollhouse. Watch Gabby and her little sister Doozie, played by Celestina Harris, in their first adventure together in an all-new season of #GabbysDollhouse, debuting September 14 only on Netflix! Love you guys!

    318 | What If Your Spouse Never Changes?

    Most arguments don't start with the words we say- they start with the meaning we attach to what happened. In this episode, we dive into the stories we create in our minds, the assumptions we make about each other's intentions, and how those stories can shape the way we see reality. Sometimes our minds are protecting us from something that isn't true… and sometimes they're pointing out something that genuinely needs to change. We have an honest conversation about marriage, conflict, expectations, and the moments when we have to ask ourselves: "Am I seeing the situation clearly, or am I reacting to the story I've created?" We talk about why two people can experience the same moment completely differently, how to separate assumptions from truth, and what it looks like to take responsibility while still holding each other accountable. Because growth isn't just about changing ourselves or changing our partner—it's about learning when to challenge the story in our head, and when to listen to what it's trying to tell us.

    313 | Was Becoming an Olympian Worth It? Shawn Gets Honest

    We absolutely loved this interview with Shawn's parents where they open up like never before about Shawn's journey from small-town kid to Olympic gold medalist- and now, mother herself. In this conversation, Shawn and her parents share what her childhood was really like, the parenting style that shaped her competitive drive, the sacrifices her family made, and what it felt like growing up under pressure. We also talk about how that's affected our current parenting style, what they would have changed if they could, and if they had any regrets with her early on career.
