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.
Have you ever played "Would You Rather?"
If you have, you probably know some of the insights that can come from the game, and if you haven't, well…you'll definitely want to check this episode out! We're getting fun and playful and getting to know each other just a little bit better with a round of "Would You Rather?" - and you get to tune in to all of the hilarity and dirt!
While this episode is definitely more light-hearted than some of this season's past episodes, we're hoping that you'll take this exercise and incorporate it into your own relationship to not only have fun but also to get to know your partner on a much deeper level. We promise you WILL be surprised by some of their answers!
When was the last time you watched a TV show or movie that was actually representative of real life? If you haven't seen Scenes From A Marriage yet, we highly recommend that you set some time aside and check it out because it is one of those rare shows that shines a candid light on a typical marriage.
We binge-watched it this weekend and there were so many lessons that we took from it that we're chatting about in this episode - and hopefully not giving too much away for those who haven't seen it yet! We're talking about sex, love, happiness, polarity, the perfect relationship, and even monogamy. There are so many things to reflect on and our hope is that if you do dive into Scenes From A Marriage it will lead to deeper conversations with your partner that will bring more intimacy and happiness to your own relationship.
This year has been all about change for us, as it has for many of you, and in keeping to that theme we have some big life news to share!
You'll have to listen to find out what it is (hint: we are NOT pregnant), but what we can tell you is that we're stepping out of our safety zone, getting uncomfortable, and taking a big leap. We're nervous and excited and so ready for the next chapter.
This episode is all about not settling, taking risks, and finding your purpose and passion, so if you're needing some inspiration or motivation in your life, this is an episode you'll want to check out!
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 18 months, you know that things have been batshit crazy in the world with the ongoing pandemic and a lot of fear, anger, and division in so many of our lives.
You are not alone if you feel like you're a top spinning out of control, and in this episode we're diving into the shift in consciousness that is happening in the world, the fear and anger that comes with massive change, and what you can do to keep yourself - and your sanity - intact.
Not only that, but we're also sharing our personal stories of breakdown, what we've learned from them, and what you can do to find the beauty in the breakdown and appreciate the lessons that come from any awakening.
Yes, we're getting deep and a little bit dark today, but by the end of this episode we promise you'll feel some hope and light and who knows, you may even learn to welcome the storm!
We're back!!!!!
Welcome to Season 3! It's been awhile, but we are so excited to be back and to share with you where we've been over the past five months and what you can expect in the near future.
In this episode we're diving into what's been happening with Laura's health, what we absolutely love about our new house, and we're sharing what we've learned since we've been gone (it's a lot!).
And of course, we're talking about Safe & Wild and what we're doing to make it even better (hint: you won't have to be coupled up to join!)
We are so excited to be back, and would love if you would drop us a line with any comments, questions, advice, or topics you want us to cover in future episodes. Enjoy!
We are celebrating one whole year of podcasting and we're talking about it all today.
We've learned a lot doing this podcast, and believe it or not, these lessons apply to relationships, both with yourself and with others.
Things like starting with small incremental steps, getting out of the safe zone, and holding yourself accountable.
This is our last episode for next few weeks, so take care, stay safe, and we'll see you in June!

We had a ton of fun with Lisa and Lindsay, who are Certified Professional Co-Active Coaches changing the world - and relationships - one tough conversation at a time.
They believe that everyone deserves to be in a loving relationship and that quality relationships are the key to a fulfilled life. Coaching both individuals and couples, they help them transform their lives through their relationships by empowering them to be seen, heard, and understood.
We're chatting about how they pivoted from helping people respectfully separate while keeping their integrity, love, and bank accounts intact, to supporting couples who want to stay together achieve that goal.
Lisa also shares her dating experience after divorce, Lyndsey discusses how she convinced her husband to become her relationship guinea pig, and we talk about what the number one relationship killer is.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on relationships with lots of laughs, got comfortable and listen in!

We understand that sometimes it's hard to want to do the work in your relationship for your own sake.
But what about for your kids' sake?
We all know enough about intergenerational trauma and wounds that get passed down through the generations - how we behave in relationships is no different. Our harmful patterns and habits get passed down to the next generation, who then pass it down to the generation after them, and so on.
In this episode we're talking about the importance of doing the work on yourself for future generations, what it means to be a leader, and why leadership starts at home, with yourself and your family.
Even if you don't have kids yet, or you never plan on having kids, this episode will hopefully shed some light on the importance of healing your wounds for not only yourself, but those around you.
This is a topic that is going to hit hard for a many of you: money and relationships. To chat with us about it we have Lindsay Sparrow joining us who is an expert on all things money and transition. She is a Financial Advisor, Certified Financial Planner and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst with 17 years of experience as a transition expert who does her best work when clients are going through a significant life change like divorce, loss of a spouse, retirement or become wealthy overnight from a sudden inheritance or windfall.
We're chatting about so many things in this episode: how to improve communication with our partner when it comes to money talks, how to get comfortable with your partner making more than you (men, we're looking at you), and how to break the money wounds that are passed down from previous generations.
Lindsay is also giving some great tips to help us all keep more of our money, and that alone is worth it's weight in gold!
It's sometimes too easy to get caught up in a "me" vs. "them" mentality when it comes to your partner, especially if you're feeling like you're doing it all in a relationship - whatever "it" is!
In this episode, we're giving you a small sample of what you can expect from our Safe & Wild program and touching on the importance of cultivating a team mentality and open lines of communication with your partner.
And yeah, you've probably heard this all before, but we can guarantee that you've never heard it like this.
If you like what you hear, make sure to get on the waiting list for the next round of Safe & Wild starting in a few weeks, we'd love to have you!
