    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Dad’s Group Chat Podcast, we welcome back Liza & Willie for the third time, and at this point they’re family.

    Marriage, Parenting & Breaking Generational Cycles | Walessa & Ariel

    Send us Fan Mail In this powerful episode of The Dad’s Group Chat Podcast, I sat down with Walessa & Ariel for a real, unfiltered conversation about marriage, upbringing, parenting, and building the kind of household they didn’t always see growing up. They open up about how they met, when they knew it was more than just dating, and what marriage truly looks like beyond the highlight reel. From unlearning habits shaped by their childhood to intentionally breaking generational patterns, this episode dives deep into becoming better partners and better parents. The conversation also explores how having children shifts a marriage — the emotional weight, the growing pains, and the importance of showing up for your significant other during challenging seasons. Walessa & Ariel speak honestly about the challenges that come after having a baby — the emotional changes, identity shifts, exhaustion, and the pressure both partners can feel while trying to stay connected. They discuss what it really looks like to support one another during those difficult months, how it impacted them in ways that often go unspoken, and what they wish more couples understood before entering that phase of life. This episode is about growth. It’s about healing. It’s about raising our kids with the love, presence, and partnership we may not have always witnessed ourselves. If you’re married, planning to be, navigating parenthood, or trying to break cycles for your family — this conversation is for you. Drop a comment and let us know: What’s something you’re doing differently than how you were raised?
