Between Us with Nick and Ashlee

The Achievement Trap - #015

Send us a Message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2592585/fan_mail/new] We spend so much of our lives chasing the next milestone—marriage, success, the dream house, the fitness goal, more money, more followers—thinking that will finally make us feel fulfilled. But what happens when we finally get the things we prayed for and still feel restless?  In this episode, we talk about the pressure of achievement culture, the emotional letdown that can follow major milestones, and why contentment feels harder than ever in a world built on comparison and constant striving. This conversation is honest, funny, reflective, and probably way too relatable.

Red Flag Edition 2 - #014

Send us a Message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2592585/fan_mail/new] AHH, what is that?! It's more Red Flags. And you better address them. We consider some of the signs we should all take note of when we notice them. And here's the deal, we all have issues, we just hope to keep them from becoming more than a issue. Enjoy our second attempt at calling out the problems we've seen come up over the years.

Dream Again - #013

Send us a Message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2592585/fan_mail/new] What happens when marriage becomes the place where forgotten dreams come back to life? In this episode, we explore how love, encouragement, and partnership can help people rediscover passions, purpose, and hope they thought were long gone. Whether you've buried a dream or want to better support your spouse's goals, this conversation is about learning to dream together again.

Grief and Hope - #012

Send us a Message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2592585/fan_mail/new] This episode may hit different. We're encouraged to be hopeful, but we often miss the importance of grieving in healthy ways.  We share our story about loss and grief, but how we found hope through it all. It's not always picture perfect (hardly ever), but leaning on eaach other and learning what faith really means has grown us closer together and to God. We hope our story is a reminder that God walks with you, even when life isn't fair.
