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.
One challenge we hear about a lot in our work with couples is how the excitement of a new side or full-time hustle often wanes when the reality of running a successful business, household, and relationship hits.
Adam Green is a father, a husband, and has been an entrepreneur since the age of 22, and he's also been around a lot of entrepreneurial women as a high-ranking leader in Young Living Essential Oils so he knows how the constant pull of different priorities uniquely affects entrepreneurial women - and he's here to talk about how partners can be the support instead of the barrier so that everyone wins.
We're diving into how starting a business can affect a relationship, the importance of working in tandem with your partner, and what the silver bullet is that everyone needs in their relationship (and especially when you throw entrepreneurship into the mix). If you are one of the lucky ones to have an ambitious and entrepreneurial woman in your life, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

Burpees.
You know you (probably) hate them. We all hate them to some degree. But what if you could harness burpees to actually improve your relationship and your life?
In this episode we're chatting about the benefits of exercise above and beyond the physical aspects - we're talking about how making a commitment and following through can have massive ripple effects on your relationships and even on your kids.
And if you want to get in on the action and leverage the physical and emotional benefits of exercise, join Mike's Dads Doing Burpees 10-Day Challenge and start changing your body, your life, AND your relationships. We promise that you don't have to love burpees, but you do have to be open to loving fun, accountability, and a community of support.
It's one thing to have awareness of the tools needed to improve your relationship, but it's another thing to actually see those tools in action.
In this episode, we're sharing a personal experience we had recently that highlights how the communication skills that we teach in Safe & Wild can actually play out in real life, and how small shifts over time can lead to massive changes.
We also discuss how it truly only takes one person to change a relationship just by doing the work on themselves - with or without their partner's help - and why effective communication is so important in any relationship (hint: without it, it's a rocky and lonely road).
Conflict will always be a part of a relationship, but it's how you handle the challenges that dictate how healthy your relationship is, so get comfortable and take a listen for some pro tips on how to improve communication with your partner!
Did you know that you can use your breath to do so much more than just live? That you can use it to actually thrive?
In this episode, we're bringing some awareness to a practice that, in our opinion, is not talked about enough. If you've never heard of the term breathwork, or you're just not sure what it is, this is an episode you won't want to miss as we dive into the modalities of the practice and how it can help you in your personal transformation, your healing process, and at the end of the day, even in your relationship.
We're exploring the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of breathwork, how to connect with your higher power through your breath, and how you can use breathwork to detoxify your body (and who doesn't need that?)
We also talk about what you can expect from an upcoming Masterclass on breathwork that you don't want to miss because it WILL change your life!
It's Q&A time! We're unwrapping this Canadian man of mystery (aka Mike) and diving into what exactly he does, why he does it, and how it impacts his life and the lives of other men.
If you've been wondering what it's like to work with Mike, or whether doing the hard men's work is even worth the effort, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Mike shares his philosophy on coaching, what it means to be masculine, and how having somebody in your corner - especially someone who has been in your shoes before - can make all the difference to your happiness (with yourself and in your relationships).
At the very least, you'll learn the one thing that is guaranteed to make your life and relationships a whole lot easier, and a secret life hack that Laura wasn't even aware Mike partook in!
Sometimes life throws you curveballs, but it's what you do with those curveballs that can make all the difference as to whether you sink or swim.
You probably noticed that we fell off the face of the earth for a few months (and you may have also noticed the name change!), and to say we've had a lot going on would be an understatement. In this episode, we're giving you the update on the good, the bad, and the unexpected curveballs that life threw our way, what we did with them, and what you can expect from us in the next little while.
So get comfortable and listen in to find out where the hell we've been, what we've been up to behind the scenes, and all the fun things we're working on birthing into the world this year (if that's not a hint, we don't know what is!)
What is life without a little adventure?
We truly believe that a life without adventure is a life stagnating, and in this episode, we're talking about how to keep the spark alive in your relationship, get closer with your partner, and feel more alive - all by just adding a little bit of play to your life.
We're diving into some of our best stories from the pre-child travel era (including a few instances where we were probably closer to being killed in our sleep than we even realized) and talking about how to add adventure to your life even if you do have kids or are finding that travel is not in the cards right now. Adventure and play does not have to be elaborate, but we can guarantee that it is one of the best ways to keep your relationship alive and thriving - so make it happen!
What does it mean to really and truly support your partner?
That's what we're talking about today as we dive into the truth about supporting your partner in all aspects of life: their dreams, hopes, desires, goals, and yes, even their hare-brained ideas. Support can be so much more than a way to show you care, it can also be a way to break out of the comfort zone and really grow as a couple and as individuals.
We're also diving into how fear can sometimes get in the way of support in ways that you might not even be aware of, and what you can do to identify and dismantle the fear, get over yourself, and level up your life AND your relationship.
Sound interesting? Get listening!
This one is for the parents. You probably know what we're dealing with in the dreaded aftermath of Halloween: the constant asking for candy, the sugar highs, and the lack of sleep. It's enough to make even the most level-headed parent pull their hair out.
While we don't have a cure for the Halloween hangover, we do have some thoughts about how to handle it without losing your mind, all while keeping your kids happy at the same time. If you're finding that the Halloween cuteness has worn off and you're ready to ban Halloween forever, take a listen and let us know what your thoughts are about navigating through the Halloween haze.
We are so excited to share that by the time this episode drops our Safe & Wild 6-Week Self-Paced Course will officially be ready for purchase - and with that huge news, we are dedicating this episode to everything you needed to know about Safe & Wild!
We're diving into all the nitty-gritty behind the program, including how it initially came to be, what the thought process was behind it, and what you can expect from each module (and bonuses!) Basically, we've given you the why, the what, and the how behind transforming your relationship - and your life - all at your own pace as a couple or solo.
We'll see you on the inside!
