Of all the amazing guests I’ve hosted on the podcast, this one is my all-time favorite! Corey DeBritz is a brilliant strategist, innovative dreamer, and servant-hearted leader—who also happens to be my husband.

I invited Corey to join me for a conversation about friendship and teamwork in marriage, and the brave man said yes! Starting when we first met, we traced the threads of our story from friendship to “hanging out intentionally” and eventually marriage. We talk about what it looked like to dream and partner together before kids, what we learned the hard way about setting boundaries, and how our roles have shifted in different seasons of life. We even share about one of our proudest, most challenging, and most costly accomplishments in our lives—and how it impacted both our physical and mental health.

I hope this conversation expands your imagination for what it could look like to support the people in your life as they become the fullest, most authentic versions of themselves!

Listen as we talk about things like:

• How Corey fell in love with me (and why it took him so long)
• How we learned the hard way about the need to set boundaries
• The impact of stress on both our physical and mental health
• My identity crisis that came from becoming a stay-at-home-mom
• Thoughts about who does what in marriage—and why our values matter
• Redefining what we each need in different seasons
• Supporting each other’s dreams, even when it’s costly
• God’s design for mutual submission and sacrificial love
• How we want to respond when—not if—things go sideways
