🎙️ Episode 5: Marriage, Disability & the Weight We Carry – Real Talk on Burnout, Support, and Love That Holds

What does love look like when life gets heavy?

In this honest and deeply relatable conversation, Tony and Kristy open up about caregiver burnout, emotional strain, and what it means to support one another in a marriage where disability is part of daily life. From invisible burdens and unspoken resentment to practical logistics and shared faith, this episode pulls back the curtain on the real tension—and real tenderness—that shapes their life together.

You’ll hear about stubborn independence, the emotional layers behind asking for help, and why caregiving isn’t always a job—it’s sometimes just love in action. This is for anyone carrying more than they can name, wondering if anyone else gets it.

You’re not weak. You’re not alone. And you’re not forgotten.
