    We Thought We Were Winning | Episode 13 - My Soulmate Named Adel

    There's a strange grace that comes when the unthinkable begins to feel like everyday life. The fear is still there, but moving alongside it is something that looks a lot like hope. In the months after Adel's diagnosis, we didn't slow down. We moved forward. Not despite what was happening, but through it, together. In this episode, you'll hear about the moments that carried us: a Halloween surgery where the OR team arrived in costumes, Adel quietly taking control the morning her hair began to fall, a week in Los Cabos where strangers saw nothing but a woman with beautiful salt-and-pepper hair, and the day she posted four words on Facebook: one year cancer free.

    When Life Divides Into Before and After | Episode 12 - My Soulmate Named Adel

    There are moments that divide a relationship into before and after. Ours arrived quietly, not as a dramatic turning point, but as a phone call I somehow already understood before a single word was spoken. I couldn't get to Adel fast enough. And in those three minutes, love stopped being abstract. It became the only thing that mattered. What followed wasn't fear; it was quiet, focused, determined courage.  And it changed everything.

    Why I'm Telling This Story | ReFraming Life — Start Here

    Most people don't ask it out loud, but I hear it.  Why would you share something this personal?  The honest answer has two parts.  The first is a promise I made to Adel: that what we had wouldn't fade into memory, but would live on for anyone still trying to build something real.  The second is something I've learned to be true again and again: that the deepest connections, the truest joy, come from choosing to stay open. Even when it costs you. This is why I'm telling these stories. Not to teach. Not to preach. To show what's possible when you choose to stay open, even when it's hard.

    We Thought We Had Forever — A True Love Story | Episode 11 - My Soulmate Named Adel

    Some of the most beautiful seasons of our lives only reveal their true meaning in hindsight. Not because anything went wrong in the moment…  but because we later realize we were living inside a chapter that wouldn’t last forever. In this episode, I take you back to the summer of 2018, a time when life with Adel felt full, expansive, and open in every direction. We travelled to Budapest, where she reconnected with her childhood story of leaving Hungary under extraordinary circumstances, and then to Tuscany, where a simple vacation quietly turned into something much bigger. That trip changed how we saw our future. We began to imagine a different kind of life, one built around experiences, travel, and fully living in the present rather than waiting for “someday.” And like so many dreams we created together… it felt completely possible. What we didn’t know at the time was that we were living in our final season of normal life. A season filled with gratitude, laughter, and possibility, one that would soon give way to something neither of us expected. Looking back now, I don’t see that time as something we lost. I see it as something we were lucky enough to fully live. 🎙 My Soulmate Named Adel is part of the ReFraming Life series, true stories of love, loss, and what it means to be human.

    Love Doesn't Wait for Anniversaries | Episode 10 - My Soulmate Named Adel

    Someone once told me they had stopped celebrating their first date anniversary after they got married. They figured the wedding had replaced it.  I sat with that for a while, because Adel and I never saw it that way.  Every Wednesday, for more than fourteen years, I would turn to her and say: "Happy weekversary." Not every year. Every week.  Because we believed you don't wait for the big moments to celebrate love. The small moments are the big moments. They're the ones that become your life.

    My Soulmate Named Adel | Series Trailer

    This is the beginning of a 20-episode true love story. My name is Kent Waugh. And the woman who changed everything I thought I knew about love was named Adel. She was the only person who responded to my dating profile — one response, to 20 very specific things I had written about what I believed and what I was looking for. She answered every single one. What followed was 14 years of something I can only describe as soulmate love. The kind that asks you to become more than you thought you were. The kind that reshapes you, quietly, from the inside out. This series — My Soulmate Named Adel — is the true story of that love.  What it looked like.  What it required.  What it taught me.  And what it left behind. 20 episodes. One true story. I'm glad you're here. ▶ Follow ReFraming Life on Spotify or Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode. 📬 Subscribe to the ReFraming Life weekly letter on Substack: https://kentwaugh.substack.com/

    Love Taught Me to Put the Camera Down | Episode 9 - My Soulmate Named Adel

    It was early 2006 when our plane landed in Mazatlán, one of our first real trips together, just the two of us. Adel brought a camera, and since photography had always meant something to me, you'd expect I'd never put it down.  But somewhere in those early days, I stopped. Adel noticed before I did. When she asked me why, I sat with it for a long moment before the answer came: every time I looked through the viewfinder, I was framing the moment for someone else, and I lost the sense of being there with her. I didn't want anything between me and being fully present. Not even a lens. Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode.

    When Everything Fell Apart, We Laughed | Episode 8 - My Soulmate Named Adel

    By the summer of 2018, Adel and I had turned travel into something close to an art form, not about plans, but about presence. Barcelona was supposed to be a simple day trip. It became one of the most chaotic, most hilarious, and most revealing days we ever had together. A hotel booked for the wrong night. A missing backpack. The wrong train. The wrong station. And a locked gate at 1:00 in the morning. By the end of it, we weren't frustrated. We were laughing, the kind of laughter that tells you something true about two people. Joy in a relationship isn't just romance. It's resilience with laughter in it.
