In MOG Episode #106 - "Get Out of Rehab Mode," Susan Money and Evan Money dive deep into how Tom Brady’s guidance to Patrick Mahomes on sports rehabilitation contains powerful lessons for couples looking to elevate their relationships—revealing why so many marriages get stuck in “rehab mode” after arguments and how to break free into joyful growth.

Listeners are invited to trade the slow, painful recovery from relational hurts for an all-in commitment to clarity, responsibility, and joy. The hosts passionately explore actionable ways to stop dragging out the drama, hit the reset button, control your actions, attitude, and mindset, and step fully into a marriage of greatness. From hilarious mall-map analogies to simple, life-changing resets ("boop!"), Susan Money and Evan Money share personal stories, faith-based wisdom, and practical strategies to help you go from good to great—no perfection required, just an all-in commitment.
