Today is our daughter’s birthday.

In this bonus episode, we share a deeply personal conversation about the life and loss of our first daughter. We reflect on who she was, what she has meant to our family, and how her presence continues to shape us—even in her absence.

We also talk openly about grief:

• How it changes over time

• The stages we’ve moved through (and revisited)

• How we're still handling and holding our grief

This episode is not about answers or closure. It’s about remembrance, honesty, and making space for grief without rushing it away.

We share this in hopes that anyone carrying loss—especially the quiet, complicated kind—feels a little less alone.

Ever tried to have a “simple” conversation when you (and/or your partner) are already on edge? In this episode, we talk about what communication actually looks like when you’re tired, triggered, overwhelmed, or emotionally flooded. From why logic goes out the window to how couples (and people in general) can pause, repair, and reconnect without doing long-term damage, we break down what really helps when emotions are running high—and what to avoid in the heat of the moment. Real talk, practical tools, and a reminder that being dysregulated doesn’t mean you’re bad at communication—it means you’re human.

January is supposed to feel like a fresh start—but what if you’re already tired?

In this episode, we talk honestly about goal-setting when the world feels loud, expensive, and overwhelming. As a married, dual-clinician couple, we unpack the pressure to “do more” while holding space for real life, real stress, and real nervous systems.

We discuss:

• Why hustle-heavy goal culture often backfires

• How to set intentions without burning yourself out

• What it looks like to honor capacity, not just ambition

• How to move forward gently when you’re already carrying a lot

No toxic positivity. No “new year, new you”. Just a grounded conversation about setting goals that actually fit your life—this season.

✨ Come process with us.
