In this special episode, Emily sits down with her husband Darren for a no-holding-back conversation about marriage, business, parenting, and how they’ve intentionally redefined every “should” that didn’t fit. From startup struggles and worldschooling fears to gender role unlearning and what success really looks like to them now, this conversation is honest, vulnerable, and full of the messy middle that most couples don’t talk about.

They explore how they’ve navigated building an unconventional life together—while still learning to understand, challenge, and support each other in the process.

What you’ll learn:

• What Darren had to unlearn about traditional gender roles in marriage
• How their definition of success has evolved—and what they want their kids to internalize
• The mindset shift that made worldschooling feel less risky
• How they manage seasons of chaos without falling apart
• What it actually takes to build a freedom-based lifestyle
• The surprising thing Emily wishes more women would hear from their husbands
• Why their dynamic works—even when it’s the opposite of “traditional”
• A behind-the-scenes look at how they make big life decisions as a team
• How they navigate judgment and unsolicited opinions from others
• The real reason Emily wanted Darren on the podcast first (and how it almost backfired)
