    So many takeaways from this interview! Would love to see them back on the podcast.
  • Choosing the moment to discuss stuff is so important, to discharge your own emotions before you discuss.

    I'm not sure why it took so long to find you guys but I'm so glad I did!! I remember watching Shawn in the Olympics all those years ago and I knew she'd continue to do great things. 💜💜

    Loved this! Just had our first kid and are working through this new phase being tired all the time. 😂

    Them talking about contemp in a relationship makes sense. I know it happened with my ex-husband and I before we got divorced.
  • I think couples need to know healthy conflict resolution. Nobody is perfect and couples aren’t going to get along all the time.
  • How about bringing up the family dog biting the children and how the wife held onto the dog more than she did the safety of her own children? For that matter, she held onto the biting dog more than she did our marriage...divorced and so happy to be free!

    I’m saddened by your last short video. The music was disgusting. I’m shocked you as Christians chose that song with awful lyrics. 😩
