In the very first episode of The 3L’s Podcast, we’re finally back behind the mic to talk all things life, love, and legacy. After a few years away, we wanted to start by sharing our own story: 14 years of marriage, four kids, and a whole lot of lessons learned along the way. We talk about how we first met at church (Emmanuel overshared his whole life story in five minutes 😂), how friendship slowly turned into love and the family and church drama that nearly tore us apart. At one point, it felt like the whole world was against us, but we made a pact: “Us against the world.” We also dive into those early marriage years. We got married at 26, and within four years, we had three kids. It was beautiful, chaotic, and overwhelming all at once, juggling parenting, finances, and navigating how to grow up together. This episode is raw and honest. We share how friendship, faith, and constant communication have carried us through the storms and why we want to keep it honest about what marriage and family life actually look like. Welcome to our world. This is just the beginning.

We’re keeping it real, raw, and unfiltered, sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between. Whether you’re single, dating, married, or just nosy 👀, you’ll laugh, relate, and maybe even learn something for your own journey.
