About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss their personal struggles with burnout, marital tensions, and postpartum effects while sharing their journey towards navigating these challenges.

In episode 6 we share the deep, dark truth -- we are struggling. Burnout in the home, marital tensions, financial strain, and the ever-present reality of postpartum side-effects still being at play is making for a challenging season in life. We are here to put ourselves out there for everyone. Join us as we discuss ways we are currently attempting to navigate these struggles, the importance of repair, and choices we want to make in the future. At the end of the episode, we wrap with a card game to bring us closer again. DM us your questions, suggestions, or future topic ideas! We love hearing from you all.
