A life lived on purpose requires daily intentionality, especially when you add a spouse, kids, a career, and a host of big dreams. Join Jordan and Rosanna – high-school sweethearts, educators, entrepreneurs, and parents – each week as they take life off autopilot and explore in unscripted conversations how to thrive as a couple while hustling after their passions. If you’re looking to make the most of your self, your relationships, your dreams, your marriage, and your parenting – you’ll find examples and inspiration as they relentlessly pursue a life worth living, together.

Walking - just the act of walking - is a powerful form of meditation, exercise, and self-improvement...and one that we've underrated for most of our life.

Today we celebrate our 20th anniversary! That's a lot of years of being married, and we love being together. We've accumulated some degree of experience and wisdom through those years about sharing life together that we discuss through today's episode.

Even though stress is a mental experience, it has a very physical manifestation as well. Today we talk about what it's like to "feel" stress in our bodies, and what those things are that induce those feelings.

When times get tough, then it's time to round up the people in your life who matter, because it is in the power that others give to us that helps shape our resiliency.

We return to the podcast for our summer season by making two bold - and ultimately healing - declarations. "Here I Am" helps remind us of who we are and who we're capable of being. And "This I Resolve" will be our mantra to repeat to ourselves when the challenges of life inevitably come our way.

Life hasn't exactly handed us a smooth, glamorous path this year. But - just like the Morton Salt girl whose anti-caking salt still pours in the rain - we too are learning to cope, recalibrate, and look towards the future with optimism.

For us, college used to just be an assumption. When we grew up, we assumed we would attend college, and - up until recently - we've made the same assumption about for our children. But times are changing, and we have to confront the fact that, at least when it comes to college, there are no safe assumptions any more.

Two years ago we asked ourselves "Should we give our high school freshman social media?" The answer at that time was an angsty NO. But now as that child is finishing his sophomore year and about to turn 16, our answer may change...

What does it mean to be an informed citizen? Today we get the latest from what's going on in the world, and seriously consider to what extent it is our responsibility to maintain an understanding of current events.

It can be hard to hear feedback, especially when it challenges our version of who we are. But all feedback is information - even when it's messy, hurtful, or unexpected - that can be used to help shape us into an even better version of ourselves.
