What if everything you’ve been taught about work-life balance is a lie? In this episode, I sit down with Loretta Soffe to talk about being the breadwinner in marriage, the radical choice her husband made to become a full-time dad in the early 2000s, and how discipline, fitness, values, and intention help you build a life you truly love. We also break down the Compatibility Code that helps couples grow through decades of change. Get ready to rethink balance, partnership, ambition, and motherhood in a whole new way.

great episode
Tnx for this episode, so helpful for me 🤍🌱
how do you do this as a single person?
thank you. I did trying the web address but can't seem to find the cite
gotta admit, this episode was a turn off. all I could hear was the braggart message. Any positive message was lost on me. glad to know I'm that much is a lesser being. thanks for reminding me.
I don't think you understand what toxic relationships are lol these are just general "oh this relationship or person isn't for you"..........

amazing. thanks for the wise words.
Love love love your poem Lori!! So powerful
wow this was fantastic and the perfect podcast to fire me up this morning! I KNOW all of these things, but hearing it from you made it sink in even more. "what you're planting this year, you have to harvest and eat next year" thank you for this little golden nugget! 💕
This podcast was one of several that were recommended to one of my groups yesterday. I listened the Take a Leap episode while I was on my walk this morning. It definitely gave me the feels. Fortunately I was the only person out because it took great restraint on my part to keep from crying. Just a big "YES!" Thank you. 💖 This is being added to my podcast favorites.
Hi Lori, first time listening to your podcast, and this is just what I need in my life right now, I'm going through a hard time right now and just listening your story makes me think about all the things I been through and I still have made it to this point, I think I can do this!! thank you for all the inspiration, I'll be here listening every single episode❤️. Thank you!!
Love this episode! Wise words that resonate perfectly for me right now.
37:05 I've wondered what is my gift, I don't see myself as business owner or major leader. But have thought about leading by just being and doing, my best self. Wondered if that was a thing or enough. So, thanks 😊
