17: The Most Common (And Surprising) Reason Marriages Quietly Fall Apart + How To Fix It...

You know that thing you do in your relationship because you think it’s “keeping the peace”? Yeah… it might be the exact thing that’s pulling you apart. In this episode, Steph talks about the one trait she notices as a pattern from working with unhappy couples and we both talk about the moments it's showed up in our own marriages and how to fix it. It’s a good one.

16: Waiting 'Till You Feel Ready? Ready Isn't A Feeling... Do This Instead.

We unpack the unsexy truth about growth: stop letting feelings fly the plane. Comfort is the silent killer of marriage, business, and the goals you swear you want. Meg shares her five daily non-negotiables that have transformed her life and Steph breaks down how to grow your capacity (not your excuses). Together we walk through the $10M Energy Model - how to use your thoughts to generate the energy you need before the results arrive. If you say something is a priority… show us on your calendar. Ready isn't a feeling;).

If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head at 2 a.m. wondering if you were awkward… this one’s for you. Come here Stephs mortifying story about when she was 16 and you'll never not remember a name again ;).
