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? Role-playing out there and trying to bring sexy back (we’ll let you guess). Why being business partners in marriage keeps the house sane. Tamra’s first week back teaching—huge love to everyone who donated supplies. Shout-out to the teachers who changed our lives. And careers aren’t a competition—how to cheer wins without keeping score.

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.

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.
