In this episode, Jake and I sit down for a full, unfiltered update. We’re talking about the real stuff – how our marriage has deepened through this season, what God’s been teaching us about surrender, how our businesses have shifted, and the fears and excitement of becoming parents. We also open up about the behind-the-scenes conversations we’ve never shared publicly before.
Whether you’re in a season of waiting, building, expecting, or just trying to figure out what God is doing right now, this conversation is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- How pregnancy quietly shifts identity, priorities, and emotional depth
- The conversations every couple needs before becoming parents
- The reality of preparing for a baby behind the scenes
- How we’re learning to integrate family, faith, and ambition
- What it takes to prepare for a child while still being refined in the process
