We’ve been together for 11 years, built businesses, gotten married, become parents, experienced some incredible highs and really hard seasons, and somehow we’re still figuring it all out. Welcome to “Best Version of Us” Our weekly conversation about the stuff that happens behind the highlight reel: business, marriage, motherhood, fatherhood, money, friendships, family, mindset, balance, success, failure, and becoming the best version of us. Sometimes deep, sometimes funny, sometimes we completely disagree. But always real!

    What’s Your Personality Type? Shark, Dolphin, Whale or Urchin?

    Are you a 🦈 Shark, 🐬 Dolphin, 🐋 Whale, or 🌊 Urchin? In this episode, we break down the four Ocean Personality Types and how they can show up in business, friendships, relationships, and everyday life. We talk about the strengths and weaknesses of each type, how our personalities show up differently in our marriage and businesses, and why understanding how someone else communicates can completely change the way you work with them. We also try to figure out which types we think we are — and which types we think each other are after 11 years together. And of course, we end by putting that to the test with this week’s game: Guess My Personality. Which one do you think you are? 🦈🐬🐋🌊

    20+ Countries: The Trips We’ll Never Forget

    30+ countries later, we somehow still have travel stories we haven’t told. ✈️ In this episode, we’re looking back at the trips that shaped us, the places that surprised us, the travel mistakes we still laugh about, the arguments, the spontaneous moments, and the memories we’d relive in a second. We also talk about how travel is changing now that we’re parents, getting our son his first passport, and what it feels like to start showing him the world with us. And of course, we answer the big question: if we’re 80 years old looking back at our life, what’s the one place we’ll regret never going?

    Would We Be Matched on Married at First Sight?

    After watching the show, we started wondering what actually makes two people compatible. We started dating after knowing each other for just 11 days, and 11 years later, we’re breaking down our similarities, differences, strengths, weaknesses, and whether we actually would’ve looked like a good match on paper. Plus, we get into the bigger question: did we happen to choose someone compatible, or did 11 years together make us compatible?

    Disney Channel Movies That Raised Us

    Camp Rock 3 just came out, and we have a lot of opinions. In this episode, my friend Jasmine joins me to rank the Disney Channel movies, sequels, soundtracks, characters, and real-life stars that raised us.We’re debating why Camp Rock 2 was so good while Camp Rock 3 felt so cringy, whether The Cheetah Girls 2 is the best Disney Channel sequel ever, and which movies officially belong in our top five. We also choose the characters we would want to be, compare Demi Lovato’s different eras, talk about seeing the Jonas Brothers live, and decide which original casts deserve a real reunion.Plus, we’re sharing our Bop to the Top memories, including dressing as Miley Stewart and London Tipton and returning years later while I was postpartum, pumping, and filming a Momcozy brand deal at the concert.

    The Birth We Didn’t Plan + Our First Month Postpartum

    We planned for a natural water birth, but our birth story took a completely different turn. In this episode, we’re sharing what it was like to let go of our birth plan, choose an epidural, experience an emergency C-section, and meet our son for the first time. We also get honest about our first month postpartum, including C-section recovery, having my mom stay with us, postpartum anxiety, sleep deprivation, feeding, deciding not to co-sleep at first, and learning how to support each other while becoming Mom and Dad. This is our honest experience from both perspectives, including the moments that scared us, surprised us, brought us closer, and changed the way we think about birth and postpartum.
