    Ep 179 The Importance of Setting Boundaries

    Jamie and Doug go over their Mother's Day celebration, and how special it was to be with each other.  The following day was their son Hendrix’s 4th bday, which sparked some discussion about family and boundaries.  A very real and vulnerable discussion came up, on how much it hurts when people you love don’t show up, or remember your kids birthday.  They reflect on their move to Florida, and what Jamie has learned by setting up personal boundaries.  She gives some very raw and real advice for anyone in that same position!

    Ep 177. We know the Gender for Both Twins!!

    Jamie and Doug recap the events of their first gender reveal, which came back as a boy. Twin no.2 was still unknown, since the early gender test can only pick up male or female, not both. Here all about the intimate party they had, the reaction from the kids, and the exciting news of finding out whether they are identical or fraternal. Later in the episode, Jamie dives deep into her past, and talks about the struggle of a toxic home environment, and what helped her mentally move on from constant chaos, to finding a better, safer, and more peaceful mindset. Doug also shares a memory from their first couple weeks together, when he noticed a shift in Jamie’s thinking. The end of the episode covers a recap of the entire season 17 Married at First Sight. The couple does not hold back with their thoughts on the finale, cast, season, and experts. They also share how hopeful they are for more love to be found on the show!

One of my absolute favorite podcasts!

Love this podcast. I’ve followed your story from the beginning and absolutely love how real and raw you keep it. I find myself relating so much to the things you share. It’s so helpful to not feel alone in times of struggle. Marriage and parenthood is beautiful and sometimes extremely difficult. I appreciate you both letting us all share in not only your struggles, but also your JOY! You have a such a beautiful family and I’m so excited to see where this journey takes you! God bless your sweet family.

Thank you for shining a light on foster care!!

I’ve followed you guys from the beginning and just love your family! I’ve also been a foster parent for the past 6 years. We have two biological children and had the honor to adopt our 6 year old. We’ve also had the privilege to parent 11 foster children over the years. Your most recent podcast really struck a chord with me. There are so many misconceptions and a lack of understanding regarding foster care. Our current placement of two year old twins is on the path to reunification with their parents and there is no way to describe the feeling that comes with walking alongside a family seeing healing. I came into foster care with a heart to help the children, but had no idea the change God would put in my heart to really see an entire family restored. This has been the hardest but greatest thing our family has ever done. I would encourage any and everyone to consider looking into how they can support children in foster care-and there are so many ways to help! Thank you again so much for starting this conversation!
