    306: The Truth About Intimacy: What No One Talks About

    Intimacy in marriage is one of the most important yet often least discussed topics, especially in faith-based circles. In this episode, Corrine and Neil open up about their own journey—what they’ve learned, what’s changed over the years, and why communication is everything when it comes to connection. From navigating different love languages to understanding the role of intimacy beyond just physical connection, they break down the small but meaningful shifts that can make a big difference in a relationship. They also share surprising insights from a recent study on how often married couples with kids are actually intimate (hint: it’s probably less than social media makes you think!). Plus, Corrine gets candid about the backlash she received after writing about intimacy on Substack and why so many women feel like they have nowhere to turn for real, honest conversations on this topic. If you’ve ever felt like you and your spouse are just coexisting instead of truly connecting, or if you’ve struggled with mismatched expectations in marriage, this episode is full of insights and real-life experiences that will leave you feeling encouraged, validated, and equipped with a fresh perspective on prioritizing intimacy in a way that actually strengthens your relationship. The book Corrine and Neil mentioned in this episode: The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by Gary Chapman. You can check it out here on Amazon.

    In this episode, Corrine sits down with Candace Payne, the vibrant author, speaker, podcaster, and joy evangelist best known for her viral "Chewbacca Mom" video.

    300: Lessons from Our Previous Jobs that Shaped Us

    Have you ever wondered how the jobs you take along your journey prepare you for your greatest contributions in life? In this episode, Neil and I dive into the valuable lessons we’ve learned from every job we’ve ever had—yes, even the ones we didn’t love. Neil shares stories from his time in high-pressure medical device sales and the importance of staying authentic, building relationships, and learning to thrive under pressure. I opened up about my own path, from recruiting and office management to the moment I proved my perseverance to a CEO by waiting hours for a meeting.

    299: The problem is you think you have Time

    In this heartfelt episode, Corrine and Neil share the complex emotions of grief and how God has guided them through it. They open up about the importance of not waiting for the 'perfect timing' and instead choosing to prioritize time with loved ones, even when it doesn’t feel like the right moment.

If you’ve ever wondered whether to take that chance to spend more time with someone you love or have struggled with the weight of loss, this episode will inspire you to make the most of the present and embrace the chance to make meaningful choices before time runs out.
