In this episode, Stephanie and I take you behind the scenes of what’s been unfolding in both of our lives personally, spiritually, and creatively.

Stephanie shares a beautiful breakthrough about her long-awaited book. What began as a podcast title she loved, Unscripted Becoming, revealed itself to be something else entirely. It wasn’t a podcast title. It was the name of her book. And not just a book... a quiet, soul-level transmission of her journey to freedom.

As she found clarity around the book’s title and the podcast’s purpose, I reflected on my own recent alignment. From publicly sharing episode 765 (This Is Not a Business, This Is Devotion) to rewriting every word of my website, this season is about integrating everything I once kept behind the curtain.

We talk about the power of stillness, the meaning of silence, the return of our daughter McKenna, and even plans for a future move. But underneath it all is this shared truth: we are no longer building a life and business from the mind. We’re building it from the heart. Together.

This episode captures the shift.

The becoming.

The walk between what was and what’s next.

This episode is a walking meditation on presence, alignment, and the soul-level rhythm of partnership.

Cliff and Stephanie step into a conversation that flows with ease: unscripted, unhurried, and alive with metaphor. As they reflect on their new walking ritual, what emerges is a deep remembering: connection doesn’t require structure. It requires rhythm.

They explore how beginning each day side by side, in motion and in nature, has subtly rewired how they do life and business: less performance, more presence.

Cliff names the shift from chasing “the rhythm of a goal” to living “the rhythm of the soul,” and Stephanie beautifully grounds the truth that this isn’t new for her. It’s the frequency she’s always lived in.

Together, they explore intimacy, day-to-day awareness, deep dreams, and the metaphysical clarity that comes when they walk with life, not against it.

This is not just a format change. It is a frequency shift.

In this episode, Stephanie and I share a deeply personal glimpse into how our lives, our relationship, and our work have been radically transformed by aligning more fully with our Higher Selves.

Over the past month, we've experienced more growth, healing, and clarity than we have in thirty years of knowing each other. It's been emotional, fun, challenging, and incredibly fruitful.

We open up about the shift from striving and “shoulds” into a life of resonance, inspired action, and trust. Stephanie shares her heart behind her new podcast project, Unscripted Becoming: An Entrepreneur's Wife’s Journey Back to Herself, and we explore how aligning with our Higher Selves has changed not only the work we do—but how we live, create, and love.

If you’ve ever felt the tug between old roles and new callings, between certainty and true freedom, I believe you’ll find resonance here.

And if you’re curious about how dialoguing with your Higher Self can become a daily practice of clarity and courage, we share our experiences with that too.

This isn’t just an episode about business or marriage—it’s about becoming more of who you truly are.

Until next time... keep building a life and business together—in alignment with your truest self.

If what we shared in this episode resonated with you, we would love to hear from you. Whether it’s an insight that came alive for you, a shift you felt, or simply a sense of connection you experienced while listening, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We deeply appreciate every message and look forward to hearing what this conversation stirred within you.

This episode isn’t a lesson.

It’s a portal.

Stephanie and I went for a walk—no plan, no script, just a pocket-sized recorder and a willingness to let presence lead. What unfolded was something simple, something sacred:

Two souls dropping into the rhythm of the ordinary.

Talking about fluorescent lights. Shifting seasons. Morning routines. Memory. Movement. Marriage.

There’s no outline here.

No strategy.

Just a real-time conversation in the middle of spring trees and walking trails.

If you’re craving something slower, something truer… You’re welcome to walk with us.

This is what life looks and feels like when you stop trying to perform it… And just let it be lived.

PS. For those who are curious, the recorders that we used in this episode are Tascam DR-10L Pro digital audio recorders.

Thirty years ago, a teenage girl picked up the phone and dialed the number of a stranger.

That call, meant to fulfill a favor, turned into the first spark of something that would become far more than either of us imagined: a friendship, a partnership, a love that would grow into the life and business we now share.

In this episode, Stephanie and I revisit the unlikely origin story of our relationship… a story that’s taken on the feel of folklore over time, yet has become the foundation of everything we’ve built together.

What started as a prom date became a lifelong conversation. And what seemed improbable back then now feels like it was always meant to be.

This is an unscripted reflection on risk, resonance, and the quiet ways divine timing shows up in our lives. Whether you’re in a relationship or longing for one… building a business or just beginning your story… We invite you into this sacred remembering.

You never know what one simple “yes” can set into motion.

This week's episode is a raw and real look into how Stephanie and I navigate life's curveballs with grace and connection.

I just returned from Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, where I had an incredible experience connecting with 25-30 entrepreneurs in deep, meaningful conversations. What started as an event I thought would no longer align with my target audience became a transformative networking experience.

But life doesn't stop for perfect moments. The night I returned, our bedroom ceiling started leaking again - same spot as before. Instead of frustration, I chose peace. Moved our bed, went back to bed, contacted the roofing company the next day, and approached the situation with calm intentionality.

Stephanie and I also dive into our TikTok streak (41 days and counting!), discuss how we blend business and personal life seamlessly, and share the joy of being completely in sync.

This episode is a testament to our philosophy: life happens, but we get to choose our response. Whether it's a roof leak, a conference, or a silly TikTok challenge, we're in it together.

Join us for another authentic conversation!

Stephanie and I sat down to catch up after a week apart — she spent spring break at the lake house with McKenna, and I was home enjoying some serious early bedtimes.

In this episode, we share stories about road trips, a surprise tornado near home, and some unexpected grocery store adventures.

We also dive into the joy of simpler routines, what it means to live life on our own terms, and even make plans to rewatch Lost (again).

Just real life, real conversations, and the beautiful journey of building a life and business together.

In this week's episode, Stephanie and I took a deep dive into what's been occupying our minds and hearts lately.

For Stephanie, her focus has been on creating a new approach to home cleaning and organization. She's breaking away from her old "all or nothing" mindset and implementing a more flexible cleaning strategy.

I shared some incredible coaching experiences that have been on my mind, including how I maintained peace by not making assumptions when a potential client seemed to disappear. This led to an unexpected breakthrough—a heartfelt message from this person explaining their two-week silence.

We also discussed our current routines - my early morning schedule, Stephanie's journey to break up with the "I'm not a morning person" narrative, and our upcoming plans. Stephanie's heading to the lake house with our daughter McKenna for a week of relaxation and reading.

The episode is a candid look at our current season of life - full of small victories, personal growth, and intentional living.

Key Takeaways:

• Flexible approaches to home management
• Maintaining peace during uncertain moments
• The power of not making assumptions
• Importance of staying connected with family
