What happens when you start questioning everything you were taught about marriage, sex, and what a “normal” relationship is supposed to look like? In this fun, honest, and very real episode, I’m joined by relationship expert, coach, and author Courtney Boyer, along with Luke, for a candid conversation about modern marriage, intimacy, communication, and what actually keeps relationships connected long term. We dive into Courtney’s personal journey, which she shares in her memoir Opened, and talk about what led to opening her marriage after nearly twenty years, along with the emotional realities behind non monogamy, polyamory, jealousy, boundaries, sexual desire, and building real emotional safety. We also get into the very relatable stuff every couple faces like boredom, long distance seasons, military deployments, life transitions, and how to have the awkward but necessary conversations about sex and needs without accidentally starting a relationship fire. Whether you are curious about alternative relationship dynamics, navigating deployment and distance, or simply want stronger communication, deeper intimacy, and a more honest partnership, this episode brings humor, perspective, and plenty of real talk.

This episode with Shari Grigsby is a full-on mind upgrade. Shari is an NLP and confidence coach based in North Carolina, and she pulls back the curtain on how your brain is constantly gathering evidence to prove your thoughts right. About yourself. Your marriage. Your kids. Your life. The problem? Most of us are unknowingly collecting evidence for what’s not working. This conversation is about flipping that pattern and learning how to intentionally build evidence for confidence, self-trust, and emotional resilience.

We talk about how this shows up in real life. Long marriages. Motherhood. Teenagers. Emotional exhaustion. Unrealistic expectations in relationships. Shari explains how language, visualization, and small daily promises to yourself literally rewire your responses, shift negative bias, and change how you show up as a woman and a partner. It’s playful, honest, and surprisingly practical. If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep doing this?” or “There has to be an easier way,” this episode is for you.

I’m sitting down with Elizabeth Tumbelekis, a mom of three, chef, auctioneer, UCLA and Cornell grad, and co owner of Dark Horse Realty Group. I could have talked with her for hours and hours. Elizabeth breaks down how she went from academia...(you guys, she's an actual Anthropological Archaeologist) and the culinary world into real estate, and what it has actually taken to build a successful business while raising kids. We talk about the grind no one posts about, why giving value for years before it pays off matters, how she uses Facebook to build a real pipeline of clients, and why you’re never “too good” for the work. One of my favorite moments is her reminder that "you can have it all, but you can’t have it all at once", which feels especially real for women juggling ambition, motherhood, and family life. This episode is honest, wildly inspiring, and packed with real talk for anyone building a business in a full season of life.

PS: we chat conspiracy theories, the revival of the trad wife and what that looks like as a Christian woman, real estate myths and predictions.

What if burnout isn’t a personal failure but a biological signal asking you to live differently?

In this deeply inspiring conversation, I sit down with Jen Shepard, a brain health and performance specialist whose journey took her from criminal justice dreams to helping high-performing women and parents protect their most valuable asset, their brains.

We talk honestly about the hidden cost of success, the pressure so many women carry, and how chronic stress, overworking, and disconnection slowly erode our health, creativity, and joy. Jen breaks down the neuroscience of burnout in a way that feels practical, compassionate, and empowering, especially for parents trying to do it all.

This episode weaves together brain health, parenting, emotional regulation, longevity, and purpose, reminding us that resilience isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about learning how to recover, connect, and lead ourselves and our kids with intention.

We explore the power of social connection, why emotional regulation must be modeled not taught, and how technology is quietly impacting creativity, focus, and development in our children. Jen also shares simple tools like breathwork, the importance of sleep and consistency, and what longevity research and Blue Zones teach us about purpose, gratitude, and building a meaningful legacy.

If you’ve ever thought “I caused this,” felt stretched thin, or wondered how to raise emotionally healthy kids in a tech-saturated world, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

Press play now. I promise you will walk away with perspective-shifting insights and tangible nuggets you can apply immediately.

In this solo episode, I share what’s been rising to the surface lately: welcoming a tiny foster puppy named Annie, feeling the subtle shifts of midlife, and choosing a word for the year that gently reflects the woman I’m becoming.

We're chatting about presence, grief, and the quiet ache for deeper connection and the growing awareness that not every moment needs to be documented to be meaningful. Some moments are meant to be lived, not posted.

There’s a subtle shift happening in how I relate to my time, my attention, and my inner world and it feels tender, honest, and quietly bold.

This episode is an invitation to choose your word with intention, and come back to your actual life: the one happening right in front of you.

Just a heads up: this episode might mess with your worldview a little. And yes… you can’t unknow some of it.

This conversation goes way beyond skincare, haircare, or “clean beauty.” It’s really about who we trust with our bodies and why we ever stopped trusting ourselves.

I’m joined by Gabi Day, founder of Bright Body, and what unfolds is one of those conversations that starts in wellness and ends somewhere much more existential.

We talk about things like:

• How the wellness industry trains us to look for authority instead of developing discernment.

• Why “experts,” labels, and trends aren’t substitutes for curiosity and self-advocacy.

• Discovering you actual risk tolerance not outsourcing it.

• The quiet ways endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and synthetic fragrances intersect with everyday life not just products.

• How marketing often simplifies complex health issues in ways that feel comforting, but aren’t always honest.

• What it actually looks like to build a wellness brand without fear-based messaging or false certainty.

• Why asking better questions might matter more than finding the “right” answers.

What I love is that this isn’t an episode that tells you what to buy, who to follow, or what to believe.

It’s an invitation to think more critically, trust yourself more deeply, and stop handing your power over to strangers with good branding.

In this episode, Luke and I dive into the wild state of our society and how we’re trying to keep our own household sane while the world feels a little… unhinged. We talk about modern dating, shifting gender roles, the impact of feminism, and why everyone seems confused about who’s supposed to do what anymore.

And yes, we go there: Who should pay on the first date? Turns out, it’s not “men always” or “women can.” It’s a little more nuanced...especially if you're not in a trad relationship sitch.

We also unpack how technology is messing with our expectations, why emotional availability actually matters, and what it takes to build real connection in a culture that’s constantly distracting us.

Whether you're single, married, or actively avoiding the dating apps, this episode will make you think, laugh, and maybe rethink a few of your own assumptions.

Little tid bits:

• Modern dating is chaotic, thanks to tech and shifting norms

• Masculinity and femininity are having an identity crisis

• Online dating is both a blessing and a circus

• Emotional availability > perfect profile pictures

• Expectations can make or break your relationships

• Society shapes more of our love lives than we realize

• Choosing a partner intentionally is everything
