Life Unfiltered with The Crivello's

For our 10 year anniversary, we decided to sit down and tell the story of how it all began.In this episode we go right back to the start, how we met, our first impressions of each other, the early days of our relationship and some of the moments that shaped the life we’ve built together over the last decade.There’s a lot of laughter in this one, a few stories we haven’t spoken about in years, it felt really special going down memory lane together.This episode is us reflecting on love, timing, growth and everything that has unfolded between then and now.A little reminder that some of the biggest things in life can begin with one completely ordinary moment.

After almost a month away from the podcast, we’re back with a very real and honest update on where we’re currently at in Sicily.Truthfully, the last few weeks have been heavy. We’ve been navigating grief, instability, emotional overwhelm and the reality of trying to build a new life while not fully feeling grounded yet ourselves.In this episode we speak openly about what’s been going on behind the scenes, the mental and emotional challenges we’ve been facing, the uncertainty of still searching for a place that feels like home, and what it’s been like trying to hold everything together while moving through such a big life transition.It’s not the most polished or uplifting episode, but that’s also the point of this podcast. Life Unfiltered was always meant to be real-time, honest conversations about where we actually are not just the highlight reel.

We’ve officially arrived in Sicily.This week we share what the first few days have really looked like not just the beauty of being here, but the reality of stepping into a completely new life.It’s been amazing, but it hasn’t been without its challenges.We speak honestly about not having everything figured out, and what it feels like to juggle building new businesses, navigating parenthood, settling into a new rhythm, and searching for a place that truly feels like home… all while slowly beginning the process of restoring our farmhouse.This episode is a real-time life update raw, honest, and exactly where we are right now.

In this episode we talk about the uncomfortable side of building an online business. After years running a restaurant, putting ourselves out there online and asking for support has felt vulnerable, awkward and yes a little cringe.But if we want to change our lives and build something meaningful, we have to move through that discomfort.We speak openly about finances, sacrifice, the transition away from brick-and-mortar business, and share the projects and guides we’ve created as we begin this new chapter.

In this episode we talk about something that’s been sitting quietly underneath this move to Sicily...FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.The excitement is real, but so is the apprehension. We speak honestly about what it feels like to leave the familiar, to step into Simone’s homeland as a couple and family, and the invisible pressure that can build in a relationship when one person is returning home and the other is starting over.This is a conversation about naming the fears, not running from them, and choosing to support each other as we step into a life that feels uncertain but deeply right.
