She didn’t disappear… she’s just tired. 😅 If you’re a working mom in leadership trying to juggle marriage, kids, career ambition, and a schedule that never stops, this one’s for you.

Jessica and Coralyn get real about the “middle years” of marriage—when life gets full, calendars get chaotic, and date nights feel like another task on the to-do list. From petty spouse arguments (laundry + garbage wars, anyone?) to love languages, travel stress, and why “help” shouldn’t come with guilt—this episode is your permission slip to stop trying to do it all perfectly.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The moment your spouse says “What happened to the spontaneous girl I dated?” 😬

• Women leadership + working mom life: why the middle years feel heavier than the honeymoon stage

• Travel, schedule overload, and why “I told you” doesn’t work (calendar invites don’t either sometimes)

• Kids’ activities, mom guilt, and setting limits without feeling like a “bad mom”

• Marriage connection: love languages, attention, and the ROI of real quality time

• Date nights that actually work (and why bringing a kid means it’s NOT a date)

• Money shifts: more income, more pressure, more conversations

• Proactive marriage support: counseling, classes, and choosing tools before crisis

3 Main Takeaways

• Full seasons require new systems. Your marriage needs structure (calendars, communication, help) when life gets heavier.

• Connection > perfection. You don’t need 10 big dates—you need intentional moments that make your partner feel loved.

• Boundaries are leadership. Saying “no” to over-scheduling your kids and your life is not selfish—it’s survival.
