Monday, 2 February, 2026
Hey friends- keeping it real here: I have caught the sickness my kids had last week and my voice is barely holding on. But, I didn't want to leave you hanging because consistency matters to me. I went back into the archives and pulled this specific conversation because, I believe it is the one message we all need to hear right now. If you are feeling stuck, frustrated, or like you're constantly battling your spouse, this is for you. Hopefully, I’ll be back next week, fully rested and ready to roll!Episode Summary: Are you exhausted from arguing in circles? We’re stripping away pride to talk about the one ingredient thriving marriages have: Humility. True humility isn't thinking less of yourself; it's thinking of yourself less.We explore why ego kills intimacy, how to "accept influence," and why being "right" makes you lonely.
