Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations.

    Running It Back - #30 My Spouse Is So Insecure?! Marriage Is About Business Too!

    Send us a text Hey Runners! I’m prepping to hit the stage this weekend—play one of our faves and we’ll be back next week! This week, Tamra and Sidney are back. A few thoughts for you Runners: got an insecure spouse and hiding old relationship stuff to keep the peace? Let’s talk about real trust. Your spouse’s close friend cheats, then, what do you do?

    Ep. 45 - You Can’t Protect Your Peace and Please Everybody

    Send us a text Episode 45 - You Can’t Protect Your Peace and Please Everybody This week, Sidney and Tamra talk about the cost of trying to keep everyone happy — and why you can’t protect your peace and please everybody. From learning to say no without guilt to understanding when “helping” turns into self-neglect, they get real about boundaries, burnout, and growth. Tamra opens up about the pressure to anticipate everyone else’s needs, while Sidney talks about learning to stop managing other people’s moods. Together, they explore how letting go of people-pleasing can actually strengthen your relationships — and your faith. Of course, it wouldn’t be Running In Slow Motion without the laughs: German-chocolate-cake drama, late-night Jack in the Box runs, and the story behind Sidney’s two-special weekend all make an appearance. Honest, funny, and heartfelt — this one’s for anybody learning to guard their peace and love people without losing themselves.

    Ep. 44 - It’s Not Supposed to Be This Hard

    Send us a text Episode 44 - It’s Not Supposed to Be This Hard This week, we’re talking about the myth that love should be effortless. If you really love each other, it should always be easy… right? Yeah, no. Not even close. We get into what healthy hard looks like vs the kind of hard that drains your spirit. We talk boundaries, emotional exhaustion, second marriages, and why “always” and “never” will set your heart up for disappointment. Tamra opens up about the weight of letting go of relationships — even when you know you’re better without them — and Sidney breaks down why more good days than bad days isn’t luck, it’s work. Plus, we get into Halloween chaos at Tamra’s school, cupcakes, push-ups, and the ongoing saga of “Why are children like this?” It’s thoughtful, real, funny, and one of those conversations that sits with you after you listen.

    Ep. 43 - Being Loved Well Is the Real Flex

    Send us a text Bonus episodes >> SidneySmithCre8tiv.com >> click the Cre8tiv+ tab Episode 43 — Being Loved Well Is the Real Flex This week kicks off with some real-life talk — from the rising price of groceries to the new culture of dogs everywhere,including at places they have no business being. It’s funny, familiar, and exactly the kind of everyday chaos we all feel right now. From there, Sidney and Tamra dig into one of the biggest myths we’re all taught to believe: that marriage is supposed to complete you. Instead, they talk about why you have to show up as a whole person before you ever try to build a life with somebody — and how being loved well has nothing to do with money, status, or “looking good on paper.” They break down a viral clip about what it means to be chosen versus valued, and why so many people are out here looking for someone to fix them instead of someone to grow with. Tamra gets real about what “being loved well” looks like in their marriage, and Sidney talks through how he learned that love isn’t about ownership — it’s about partnership. Together, they bust the Marriage Myth: “Your spouse should be everything for you.” Nah. A healthy relationship requires identity, confidence, and two whole people choosing each other on purpose. It’s vulnerable, funny, thoughtful, and full of those quiet “…yeah, that part” moments our Runners tune in for every week.
