    In this intimate episode of The Illuminate Podcast, I sit down with my husband Tyler for a heart-to-heart about the dance between masculine and feminine energy in relationships.

    Together we explore how open communication, vulnerability, and mutual support fuel personal growth — and how embracing your true self can transform not just your relationship, but your entire family dynamic. This is an honest, love-filled conversation about creating a balanced, supportive, and deeply connected partnership.
