couple things interviews

Today we sat down with the incredibly wise mental health expert, author, and radio personality, Dr. John Deloney. With a passion for helping people thrive in their relationships, John tackles various questions from callers live on his podcast, “The Dr. John Deloney Show.” We brought some of those unique and challenging questions onto this episode and included additional questions sent in by our audience! After spending over twenty years in crisis response and finding real solutions and freedom in his own wellness journey, John knew he wanted to help as many people as possible heal from their past trauma and live whole, connected lives. We think he’s doing an amazing job at this and we hope this episode is enlightening! :) Follow our podcast Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/shawnandandrewpods/ Subscribe to our newsletter ▶ https://www.familymade.com/newsletter Follow My Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/ShawnJohnson Follow My Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@shawnjohnson Shop My LTK Page ▶ https://www.shopltk.com/explore/shawnjohnson Like the Facebook page! ▶ https://www.facebook.com/ShawnJohnson Follow Andrew’s Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/AndrewDEast Andrew’s Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewdeast?lang=en (00:01:00) let’s get this chat started!(00:02:04) we call him dr. neighbor(00:04:19) how did you get interested in investing in family?(00:06:33) what revelation have you had because of marriage?(00:07:38) never dating anyone else again and cultural lies(00:10:06) is marriage worth it?(00:15:40) can you fix the fear of being left?(00:18:53) infidelity is more than “cheating”(00:21:56) “i see a whole picture of you, are you okay?”(00:24:13) how do i discern if someone is checked out?(00:27:07) “just pick up the towels”(00:29:06) how do you know when you are ready to commit to serve in a marriage?(00:37:58) who can serve who the best?(00:38:57) us vs. them and the ugly of that(00:41:48) the meaning of the word “faithful”(00:48:59) rapid-fire questions from our listeners(00:52:39) how to navigate "trigger trauma ping pong"(00:56:11) how to support a spouse who struggles with depression(00:58:06) advice for toxic mother–daughter relationships(00:59:19) phone vs. marriage(01:00:34) my kids are in a dad phase… not a dad phase(01:02:53) intimacy feeling like a requirement #Marriage #Relationships #ShawnAndAndrewPods

After an 8 year battle with infertility, DawnCheré and her husband Rich are here to share their story of God’s faithfulness after a long season of waiting.

Today we sat down with two incredible resources and human beings, beloved counselors and best-selling authors, Sissy Goff and David Thomas from Daystar Counseling. We have learned SO much from them over the years. With decades of combined experience walking alongside children and families, Sissy and David bring wisdom, warmth, and practical tools to the table as they share insights from their highly anticipated book series for kids  called “The Daystar Dog Series.” We dive into topics like childhood anxiety,  emotional resilience, the importance of connection, and what parents can be doing to check in with their child’s emotions.  Whether you're a parent, caregiver, teacher, or someone who simply loves the next generation, we hope conversation leaves you encouraged and equipped.

Today we had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Emily Heisey (Doctor of Physical Therapy) and Dr. Matt Otteman (Doctor of Chiropractic), Co-Owners of KinActive Kids and Pediatric Development Experts! As a parent it can feel overwhelming and often intimidating to focus on each milestone your child is supposed to hit at each age group, but Dr. Emily and Dr. Matt take the stress away by showing parents easy (and super fun) ways to play with your kids while also encouraging their brain development! They offered some amazing insights into what we all can be doing to stop comparing the progress of each of our kids and start honing in on each child’s unique way of learning.

Today we were starstruck because we sat down with two stars (who we now consider friends) Alexa and Carlos PenaVega! Alexa played Carmen Cortez in the hit film series, Spy Kids, and Carlos starred as Carlos Garcia on the Nickelodeon series Big Time Rush so it’s safe to say they’re a power couple and our inner-child was freaking out a little. What we love most about this couple is how authentic they are, even in an industry where being yourself and standing strong in your faith can sometimes cost you a job. This couple has been through so much and their unwavering peace, joy and love for one another is truly an inspiration. We could have talked to Alexa and Carlos all day, they are seriously the best.

Today’s conversation was such a meaningful one, wow we loved this couple. Rebecca St. James has won countless Grammy and Dove awards, is an accomplished actress and the author of more than a dozen books. You probably recognize her husband, Cubbie Fink, as a founding member of the multi-platinum Grammy-nominated band Foster the People. While they’ve both experienced high success, one of the coolest things about them is that they’ve been so open about the hard seasons they've walked through together and it’s helped so many people. In their new book, they open up about their journey with infertility, childhood trauma, depression, processing emotions, career, parenting and more. Honestly anyone can learn something from their story, they’re amazing. We hope if you’re going through a hard season, after listening to this episode you feel encouraged to keep going.   We love you!

He’s also a husband and dad of five so he really knows what he’s talking about :)  We got to dive into how to build a strong family unit, what we can learn about the importance of family from different cultures, leaving a legacy for generations to come and more! This was a really important conversation and one we’ll definitely revisit to stay on track with our own family “team”  :)  Love you guys!

Today we got to interview someone we’ve been hoping to meet for a long time and that’s a personal favorite author, counselor and teacher, John Eldredge! You may know John from his most popular book, Wild at Heart, a book Andrew recommends to everyone. “Wild at Heart” has inspired a ministry that currently includes events, retreats , a podcast and several additional books published by John. As parents of two boys, it was really impactful to talk to John about how to best support, encourage and raise confident young men in today’s world. We hope you learn as much from this conversation as we did :) Love you guys!

Today is a big day for us because we got to interview the legend known as “The Pommel Horse Guy” and that’s 2-time Olympic medalist, Stephen Nedoroscik!

He stole the crowd with his contagious smile and lovable energy and he has continued his incredible journey on Dancing With the Stars, where he’s been absolutely crushing it!

Today we sat down with some of our besties, Mallory Ervin and Kyle DiMeola! We absolutely love this couple and wanted to have them on the show to dive a bit deeper into their stories.Mallory and Kyle are some of the strongest and most loving people we know, but they’ve walked through some really hard seasons that have shaped who they are today. We also talked about their newly-announced pregnancy with their fourth child, a precious rainbow baby, after experiencing heartbreaking seasons of pregnancy loss. We love this couple and we know a lot of you love them too! We hope this episode finds you where you are and helps you find joy in whatever season you’re in. Love you guys!
