Ep. 7: What We'd Tell Our Single Selves

Ep. 8: Making Friends After Marriage

Making friends after marriage isn’t as simple as it used to be. In this episode of Becoming the Branches Podcast, we have an honest, unfiltered conversation about navigating friendships as a married couple. From one spouse clicking while the other doesn’t, to scheduling conflicts, age gaps, shifting priorities, and the added layer of children. We talk through the realities no one really prepares you for. We unpack expectations versus reality, how discernment and boundaries shape relationships, what it looks like to put yourself out there, why maturity and alignment matter, and how letting go doesn’t always mean forever. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing married friendships “wrong,” this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone. We’re trying to figure out this thing too. 📲 Follow along with us on Instagram: @becomingthebranches [http://instagram.com/becomingthebranches]   @_roxcee [http://instagram.com/_roxcee]  @namirbranch [http://instagram.com/namirbranch] 💻 Browse our digital resources and devotionals: becomingthebranches.gumroad.com [http://becomingthebranches.gumroad.com/] 👉🏼 New episodes drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays.

Ep. 7: What We'd Tell Our Single Selves

What would you tell your single self if you had the chance? In this episode of Becoming the Branches Podcast, we reflect honestly on the lessons we wish we had embraced during our single years. From saving money and getting out of debt, to traveling, serving in church, investing in yourself, and learning how to communicate and forgive, we talk about the foundations that quietly shape marriage and family dynamics. We also discuss the beauty of singleness as a sacred season for deep intimacy with God, personal growth, and freedom. Not perceiving it as punishment or even delay. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, this conversation is an invitation to steward your current season with wisdom, intention, and grace. If no one’s told you yet, we’re telling you now. 📲 Follow along with us on Instagram: @becomingthebranches @_roxcee @namirbranch 💻 Browse our digital resources and devotionals: becomingthebranches.gumroad.com [http://becomingthebranches.gumroad.com/] 👉🏼 New episodes drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays.

Ep. 6: Do You Need A List in 2026?

Do you really need a “list” in 2026? In this episode of Becoming the Branches Podcast, we talk honestly about the role lists can play in dating and marriage, and how they can quickly shift from wisdom to idolatry if we’re not careful. We unpack how many lists are built from unhealed trauma, fear, or loneliness, and why surrendering your desires to God matters more than having a long checklist. We also get practical about what should actually be “non-negotiable,” the difference between dating and courtship, and why dating is really about collecting data with discernment. Plus, we talk about the things people forget to pray about, like everyday compatibility, weaknesses, and the areas where you actually need support in covenant. This episode is for anyone who wants to approach love with maturity, faith, and clarity. Have standards, yes. But don’t weaponize them. Submit them. 📲 Follow along with us on Instagram: ⁠@becomingthebranches⁠ [instagram.com/becomingthebranches] ⁠@_roxcee⁠ [instagram.com/_roxcee] ⁠@namirbranch⁠ [instagram.com/namirbranch] 💻 Browse our digital resources and devotionals: ⁠becomingthebranches.gumroad.com⁠ [becomingthebranches.gumroad.com] 👉🏼 New episodes drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays.

Ep. 5: The Power of A Sleep Consultant

Sleep deprivation will test everything—your patience, your marriage, and your faith. In this episode of Becoming the Branches Podcast, we talk candidly about postpartum exhaustion, newborn sleep struggles, and the moment we realized something had to change. We share how sleep deprivation impacted our communication, emotional health, and daily rhythms, and why asking for help became a turning point for our family. This conversation explores the value of rest, the freedom in receiving support, and why rest isn’t a luxury, but a form of stewardship. If you’re navigating new parenthood, chronic exhaustion, or a season where you feel stretched thin, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to carry it all alone. 😴 Work with our sleep consultant, Treasure Joi, and tell her The Branches sent you: www.restedandrenewed.com [www.restedandrenewed.com] 📲 Follow along with us on Instagram: @becomingthebranches [https://www.instagram.com/becomingthebranches/] @_roxcee [https://www.instagram.com/_roxcee/] @namirbranch [https://www.instagram.com/namirbranch/] 🌐 Browse our digital resources and devotionals: becomingthebranches.gumroad.com [becomingthebranches.gumroad.com] 👉🏼 New episode drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays.

Life doesn’t always transition the way we imagine it will. In this episode of Becoming the Branches Podcast, we’re back after a long pause, and we’re talking honestly about why. From pregnancy to postpartum, from marriage to parenthood, we unpack what it really looks like to walk through major life transitions with God at the center. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about expectations vs. reality, the emotional and spiritual weight of becoming parents, and learning how to tell the truth about hard seasons without feeling ungrateful or faithless. Whether you’re navigating marriage, singleness, pregnancy, parenthood, or any major life shift, this episode is an invitation to stop pretending and start bringing the whole truth before God. Because the same God of the valley is still the same God on the mountain. 📲 Follow along with us on Instagram: @becomingthebranches [https://www.instagram.com/becomingthebranches/] @_roxcee [https://www.instagram.com/_roxcee/] @namirbranch [https://www.instagram.com/namirbranch/] 💻 Browse our digital resources and devotionals: becomingthebranches.gumroad.com [becomingthebranches.gumroad.com] 👉🏼 New episodes drop bi-weekly on Tuesdays.
