Money can be one of the biggest stressors in marriage — but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to merge finances with faith, wisdom, and teamwork. From budgeting and money personalities to debt, investing, and living below your means, we’ll share practical tips for finding financial peace together.
This week, we walked through our fourth pregnancy loss. In this episode, we open up about how we’ve supported each other through grief—not perfectly, but intentionally.
We talk about how husbands can show up for their wives, how couples can stay connected in pain, and how faith has carried us when we couldn’t carry ourselves.
It’s real, raw, and honest—but filled with hope. If you’re walking through something hard, we pray this reminds you: you’re not alone, and your marriage can survive the storm.
In this episode we are answering your burning questions with zero filters, tackling everything from keeping the spark alive after years of marriage, handling overbearing in-laws, and money fights, to fitness myths, cheat days, and lifestyle debates. We dive into spicy “just for fun” questions, real talk on personal growth, and end with a hilarious round of would you rather. This episode is like pulling up a chair and joining the conversation with us — honest, funny, and totally unfiltered.
Every marriage has a little drama… but in ours, who’s really the main character? In this episode, we’re owning up to our quirks, overreactions, and petty habits that turn everyday life into a full production. From towel-folding wars and cabinet-slamming confessions to dramatic love rants that somehow become inside jokes, we’re spilling it all.
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at your spouse’s “performance” or laughed at your own over-the-top reaction, this one’s for you. Get ready for confessions, comedy, and a few dramatic truths we’ve learned to live (and laugh) with.
Ever wondered what it’s really like to be married to the firehouse? In this episode, we get real about the late nights, missed holidays, funny stories, and the unique challenges that come with fire life. We’re sharing our experiences, the lessons we’ve learned along the way, and how we keep our marriage strong through it all.
The end takes a quick turn when Shane has a surprise for Michelle… i promise you don’t want to cut this one short.
From the moment our feet hit the floor, it’s chaos, coffee, and CrossFit on repeat. In this episode, we take you through a typical day in the Ladd house — the early alarms (just kidding we sleep in), the caffeine rituals, the garage workouts, and all the little moments in between that make our life beautifully messy. Grab your coffee and come spend the day with us.
After a 3-year hiatus, we’re finally back behind the mics… slightly older, questionably wiser and definitely more caffeinated. In this relaunch episode, we’re reintroducing ourselves with a fresh, more laid-back vibe, real convos, unscripted moments and plenty of laughter (some of it at our own expense).
We’re diving into everything from weird couple quirks and firefighter stories to hot takes. Plus, we share a few fun facts, rapid-fire debates and what to expect in this new season of The Ladd Life.
We’re so excited to be back — thanks for hanging out with us!
You read that title correctly! We are so excited to have our first guests on todays episode! Alex and Emily are our very good friends that we met through the fire department. Alex is Shane’s partner on the ambulance and Emily also had the same cancer as Michelle with a very similar story. This episode really shares what life through their one eye is like. Be sure to stick around for the end where we all get extremely vulnerable in sharing how Michelle and Emily’s cancer has affected each of us. .

An AMRAP in the gym stands for as many rounds (or reps) as possible in a certain time frame. We spun that and made this one as many random (questions) as possible in 30 minutes. We answered 11 thought provoking questions like: “What do you feel is the biggest waste of time?” “Do you work to live or live to work?” “What is a question that you think most people will lie in their response?” and so many fun others! Join us as we share our throughs!
Join us for a fun game of true or false! I took a bunch of your commonly asked firefighter / paramedic related questions and turned them into true or false questions for Shane to answer to the best of his knowledge!
