About this listen

This week’s episode is extra special—because I’ve finally convinced my husband, Marcus, to sit down for a real, unfiltered conversation on the podcast (yes, whiskey was involved 😆).

Together, we dive deep into:

💬 What midlife looks like for men vs. women

❤️ Navigating marriage through hormones, mood swings, and big transitions

👨‍👩‍👦 Raising two boys and learning to parent with grace, flexibility, and LOTS of laughter

🧠 How men internalize emotions and what women often miss

👣 Letting go as your kids grow up—and finding purpose as empty nesters

💡 The secret to 22 years of marriage

This one is packed with relatable moments, vulnerable truths, and a behind-the-scenes look at our marriage, parenting journey, and everything in between.

So grab your favorite drink and join us for a laugh, a few tears, and a whole lot of real talk.
