In this episode, Stephanie and I kick things off with some laughs about our favorite (and not-so-favorite) teachers, which somehow led us to reflect on how those experiences shaped our own parenting philosophies.

We dive deep into the realities of raising kids, the importance of letting home be a safe space for emotional expression, and why we cared more about our children’s character in the world than their behavior at home. We also discuss the evolution of our marriage, 29 years and counting, and what it means to truly choose each other daily, even as introverts who deeply value our alone time.

On the tech front, I vent about my recent frustrations with ChatGPT and how changes in AI tools have impacted my workflow, especially when it comes to summarizing coaching calls and podcast transcripts. We discuss the highs and lows of relying on technology, and I share how I’m exploring new platforms and adapting my routines.

We also touch on my latest creative pursuits such as soul songs, live streaming, and the ever-present pull of new hyper-fixations. Stephanie and I get real about what it means to follow your passions, even when they shift, and how every deep dive adds something valuable to our journey.

Finally, we wrap up with some everyday life updates: dentist appointments, smoothie cravings, and the ongoing adventure of building a business and a life together. Whether you’re here for the marriage insights, the tech talk, or just a good story, I hope you find something in this episode that resonates with your own journey.

Thanks for listening, and as always, we’ll see you next time… maybe from Tennessee, maybe not on the Fourth of July, but definitely with more stories to share!

This episode is an unscripted glimpse into what life looks for the Ravenscrafts on Friday, June 20, 2025

In this episode, Stephanie and I take you with us on our Friday morning walk as we talk about what’s changing, what’s closing, and what’s quietly coming alive in this next season.

We recorded this episode in the middle of the shift, before the clarity was complete. And that’s what makes it sacred. Because we didn’t wait to figure it all out before sharing. We simply brought the mic into the field of transition.

This episode serves most powerfully those who are:

• Standing at a threshold they can’t name yet
• Feeling a desire to slow down without falling behind
• Holding an old structure that no longer feels like home
• Wondering if they’re “allowed” to change everything when nothing’s wrong

If that’s you, this episode isn’t just a conversation. It’s a permission slip.

This is a real-time embodiment of what it looks like to:

• Make a soul-aligned decision (like closing the mastermind) without drama, scarcity, or needing external validation
• Feel the resistance around pricing, calendar shifts, identity expansion… and still move forward
• Name health updates and hormone shifts not as tangents, but as foundational to aligned leadership
• Hold space for a co-creation with your partner that is not scripted, not performative, and not optimized for downloads—but optimized for truth

The message beneath the words is simple, but powerful:

• You’re allowed to stop doing what you’ve outgrown, even if it once worked.
• You’re allowed to price your services at the level of your frequency.
• You’re allowed to share your process, mid-stream.

If you're in a season of subtle but significant reorientation, I hope this episode meets you exactly where you are.
