    322 | Failing Fantastically: The Skill Nobody Teaches You
    2026/08/02
    This episode we talked about one of the most important life skills that nobody really teaches us: how to fail well. We shared why failure isn't something to fear, but something to embrace, and how our biggest setbacks often become the moments that shape us the most. However... one show DOES teach us this and that's Gabbys Dollhouse! During a segment of this episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with the star of Gabbys Dollhouse, Laila Lockhart Kraner, to talk about a puppy-riffic addition coming to the Dollhouse. Watch Gabby and her little sister Doozie, played by Celestina Harris, in their first adventure together in an all-new season of #GabbysDollhouse, debuting September 14 only on Netflix! Love you guys!

  • 318 | What If Your Spouse Never Changes?

    318 | What If Your Spouse Never Changes?
    2026/07/08
    Most arguments don't start with the words we say- they start with the meaning we attach to what happened. In this episode, we dive into the stories we create in our minds, the assumptions we make about each other's intentions, and how those stories can shape the way we see reality. Sometimes our minds are protecting us from something that isn't true… and sometimes they're pointing out something that genuinely needs to change. We have an honest conversation about marriage, conflict, expectations, and the moments when we have to ask ourselves: "Am I seeing the situation clearly, or am I reacting to the story I've created?" We talk about why two people can experience the same moment completely differently, how to separate assumptions from truth, and what it looks like to take responsibility while still holding each other accountable. Because growth isn't just about changing ourselves or changing our partner—it's about learning when to challenge the story in our head, and when to listen to what it's trying to tell us.
