Stay ConnectedDrawing from their 18 years together, hosts Michael & Laura explore relationships, personal responsibility, feminine and masculine dynamics, communication & just some all-around real and raw conversations.
With a bit of sarcasm, humor, tears, a few f*bombs, and lots of love, they deep dive into the male and female perspectives on relationships and navigating the highs & lows of life together.
Pregnancy is one of those life experiences that can open up a whole bunch of feels, especially when you feel like you might be pregnant forever.
In this episode, we open up about what has been coming up for us now that our due date has passed and what we're doing to unpack those emotions as they arise.
We're sharing some of the realizations that Laura has had, what's been coming up through this experience, and the tools she is using to deal with the feels head-on (and in a healthy way). This is a real and honest conversation about surrender, healing, and learning to let go.
Even if you're not pregnant, this is an episode you won't want to miss as we discuss how to move the memory and the energy out of the body when emotions surface so you can find the beauty in the breakdown - and be open to receiving the lesson you're meant to!
You've probably heard the saying "to soften your heart" - but what does that actually mean?
We've been talking a lot about men's work, and now we're shifting focus to talk about the importance of women doing the work to soften their hearts and their bodies - from what that looks like to why it's important not just for each woman, but for her children and (of course) her relationship as well.
This is an episode for the ladies, so if you're curious about doing the work, codependency, the wounded feminine, how to let go of stuck emotions (and why you might be holding on to them in the first place), and so much more, this is an episode you won't want to miss!
Michele Rogers does not mess around. She takes risks, tries new things, and does not shy away from living life on her terms. She is a mother, a partner, and an entrepreneur who has had many adventures in business, and she joins the show today to talk about the challenges that women face - from motherhood, to unrealistic societal expectations, to business, and beyond.
We discuss all the many hats that Michele has worn over the years, and she shares how her partner helped to support her throughout all the ups and downs, especially when it came to starting or running a business while juggling the responsibilities of a family. We also dive into the dangers of competing with your spouse, the power of teamwork, and the realization that Michele had that changed the dynamics in her relationship for the better.
The title says it all: how can you ensure you're being a team player to your partner, and why does it even matter?
We're getting into it in this episode and exploring all the many ways that competition between partners can happen (score-keeping housework, anyone?) so you can be aware when it's happening and start to work WITH your partner - instead of against them - because the truth is, competing against your partner only causes strife, frustration, and ultimately, dysfunction.
We also dive into how partner competition affects the polarity in your relationship, and why being in your most natural energetic state makes life just flow a whole lot easier - and who doesn't need more of that in their life?
The old adage "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" is almost never as apparent as when two people of the opposite sex are trying to communicate with each other.
Unless, of course, they've done the work to actively learn how to communicate with each other!
In this episode, we're diving into communication between the sexes: why it can be so hard, how energy fits into the equation, and how you can overcome communication challenges with your partner so you can start to get into the deeper topics in your relationship.
We're talking personal responsibility, communication styles, sharing what the game-changer is for communicating better with your partner…and Mike is sharing his long-held secret on how he learned to understand the opposite sex.
Grab your significant other, get comfortable, and listen in to find out how to say what you need to say without causing the next world war!

Have you ever dreamt of starting over to create a life of more impact and more fulfillment?
In 2016, Anthony Astbury did just that. He left a 20-year career as a trader and broker and completely changed his world. On his journey to self-discovery and personal improvement, he began specializing in coaching men to master their mindsets, and in 2018 he launched the Whole Man Academy, which connects men through live and online events and gives them the tools to develop strength, resiliency, and confidence.
In this episode, we talk about how our culture encourages men to be and act a certain way, which contributes to burnout, destructive coping mechanisms, and can even lead to suicide. We also talk comparison syndrome, the unique challenges that men face (especially with the proliferation of social media), and what Anthony is doing to change the course for so many men.
And don't miss our discussion on fatherhood, the universal challenges of being a parent, and why homeschooling does not mean your kid will turn out weird!
We all know that starting a business is hard, but it's unquestionably even harder when you're a wife and mom with already defined roles in your family.
Carmen Nolin is a mom, a wife, a business coach, an entrepreneur, and a self-described country girl. She went from working a full-time job to creating a successful network marketing business that more than doubled her income, and she joins the show today to talk about the challenges she faced along the way - and how she overcame them.
We're diving into the mindset shifts that Carmen had to make when she first started her business, how she got her husband on board with taking on more household responsibilities so she could work on her business and some of the most common struggles that entrepreneurial women face.
Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and listen in to hear the female perspective of balancing a business and a relationship!
You don't always get what you want…but sometimes you get exactly what you need.
Jen Anderson is a friend, mentor, and Manifestation Mentor who guides women to learn how to own their happiness, and in turn, own their life.
We're diving into so much juiciness in this episode and exploring the importance of investing in your growth, how a coach or mentor can help you get to the next level in your life or business, and the reasons why women so often have blocks around making the investment in themselves.
We also talk about the many ways that we lie to ourselves (we all do it!) and why it takes getting uncomfortable and "naked under our trench coats" to really grow to the next level as a human being - so get comfortable, take off the baggy sweatshirt that is hiding your beautiful self, and get ready to own your happy!
