Our Most Controversial Decision Yet… & Our Thoughts On Bieber at Coachella and Baby #2
Apr 2801:02:57Tap to summarizeToday we’re sharing the full story behind "pool-gate" Maybe the most controversial decision we've posted about in a LONG time. While it might have seemed unexpected, it really came down to thinking through safety, costs, and what makes the most sense for our family right now. We walk through how we processed that decision together, the conversations we had, and why we ultimately felt peace moving forward—even though not everyone agreed. It also led into a bigger conversation about how to make wise choices in marriage, especially when there are a lot of outside opinions coming in. We also touch on what it’s like sharing your life online and navigating both encouragement and criticism, and why it’s so important to lead with grace instead of quick judgment. We talk a little about Justin Bieber and the conversations around his Coachella performance, and how easy it is to form opinions without really knowing someone’s heart. And of course, we mix in some lighter moments—sharing embarrassing audition stories and talking about overcoming fears like public speaking. Overall, it’s a real, honest conversation about making decisions you feel confident in, even when they don’t make sense to everyone else.

I Debated My Law School Husband… Who Was Actually Right?
Apr 1400:58:10Tap to summarizeKaleb and I basically turned the podcast into a full-on debate stage! We’re going head-to-head on some pretty spicy takes — from whether sports betting is actually “investing” (??), to if sports are lowkey an idol, to the most RANDOM arguments like dogs wearing shoes and cats being wild animals 😭 But underneath all the laughs and roasting each other, we actually get into some deeper conversations about balance, addiction, priorities, and what really matters in life and relationships. We talk about how anything — even good things — can become unhealthy if we’re not careful.
