    What Happens When Two Survivors Learn to Love Each Other Well

    We would love to hear your feedback! Two people can love each other deeply and still trigger wounds they did not create. In this conversation, Jen and Larry get real about childhood trauma, shutting down, the need for reassurance, and what it takes to build a marriage when both partners learned to survive in different ways.Larry grew up with an alcoholic father, a painful divorce, and a habit of bottling everything up. Jen developed her own protective patterns through a very different childhood. Together, they unpack how those old survival skills show up now—in arguments, in silence, in the need for comfort, and in the moments when one person wants to talk everything through while the other wants to disappear.  You’ll hear: How Larry’s quiet, self-contained nature started in childhood  Why Jen can recognize that his anger may be covering something deeper  What happens when one spouse needs reassurance and the other needs space  How childhood pain can surface even in sleep  Why their old friendship, time apart, and second chance shaped their marriage  Jen reflects on hearing Larry speak compassionately about the little boy he used to be, while Larry opens up about the young girl Jen once was and the heartbreak he wishes he could have protected her from. Their honesty makes this more than a conversation about marriage—it’s about empathy, healing, and learning to love the parts of each other shaped long before they met.For anyone healing childhood wounds, navigating marriage, or trying to understand someone they love a little better, this conversation offers a heartfelt reminder that old patterns can be met with compassion and changed together.

    We’re Back: Catching Up Before We Spill the Tea!

    We would love to hear your feedback! Season 2 starts with the most honest conversation Jen and Nancy Ann have had yet—about burnout, boundaries, family wounds, and why “figuring it all out” is officially overrated.After a chaotic summer of nonstop work, travel, and way too much heat, Jen and Nancy Ann open up about what has changed since season one: less pressure, more peace, and a lot more clarity about what actually matters. They get real about the messy middle of adulthood—texting fails, menopause brain, therapy breakthroughs, and the hard lesson that growth often looks like letting go of the need for everyone else to understand you.You’ll hear Jen share a deeply personal update on her relationship with her mom and dad, including the frustration of repeated patterns, the power of setting boundaries, and what it’s like to put your feelings into a letter when you’re not sure it will be received the way you hoped. Nancy Ann reflects on her own journey through family trauma, accountability, and healing, and the two talk candidly about how therapy, faith, and friendship have helped them move from anger to peace.In this episode, we discuss:   Why season two is shifting from “figuring things out” to being honest about where you are now  What happens when family members keep repeating the same hurtful patterns  The difference between forgiveness and resolution  Why therapy can be the place where old childhood wounds finally connect to adult relationships  How faith, community, and vulnerability are shaping the next chapter of The Bestie Blend  They also get into real-life chaos, from a brand-new trailer disaster to the kind of marriage moments that reveal who you really are when things go wrong. Through it all, the episode stays true to the heart of the show: two best friends telling the truth, making space for messy stories, and reminding you that you do not need to have your life perfectly together to move forward.This one is perfect for anyone who’s tired of pretending, craving peace, or wondering if they’re the only one still learning at this stage of life. If you want a conversation that feels like a bestie check-in, a therapy session, and a little faith-filled encouragement all at once, start here. Support the show
