Episode 42 — A Throughline of Faith, Fatigue, and Perseverance

This week, Sidney and Tamra get real about what it means to keep showing up when your spirit’s tired and your prayers feel unanswered. From creative burnout to spiritual breakthroughs, they unpack how faith, frustration, and perseverance are all part of the same calling.

They talk about the moments when your gut says “let go” even after you’ve prayed for something, and how sometimes the hardest lesson is learning when to stop fighting and start trusting.

Tamra shares what she’s been learning in the classroom and how it mirrors life at home, while Sidney opens up about how Smoke Sessions was born out of exhaustion and faith colliding. Together, they break down the truth about prayer — it’s not a fix, it’s fuel for the work.

It’s one of the most honest conversations yet — equal parts funny, raw, and healing.

Ep. 41 – Travel Nerves, Tough Love & the Stages of Marriage

This week we get into the realities of fear, growth, and communication — from Sidney’s nerves about long flights to Tamra’s hard truth about how she’s learning not to cut people off in conversation. The push-pull of travel, friendship, and honesty sparks plenty of laughs and a few side-eyes, because sometimes marriage is about more than just “agreeing to disagree.”

Along the way, we tackle a new Marriage Myth: “Good marriages don't fight.” Spoiler: sometimes stepping back is the healthiest choice. We also dig into the stages couples go through, the resentment traps that can derail you, and why knowing your own patterns matters more than any advice book.

Plus, Dutch Bros Test Kitchen is back with another round of caffeine chaos, and Sidney may or may not have revealed himself as a psychopath thanks to a wild “funeral riddle.” It’s honest, funny, and full of the unpredictable chemistry our Runners tune in for every week.

These two share their experiences with professional therapy and black folks therapy. In both situations, they were able to see their way through some traumatic life experiences. And they hope that this conversation helps just one person.

Plus, Slim's birthday party, heating pads and Halloween. So,...
