Description

Last but not least, it's time for our (Alaina and Tommy) solo episode! This week, we finally sat down, just the two of us without kids— tea in hand—for a personal and heart-opening convo.

We’re talking full-spectrum real life: love languages, emotional intelligence, post-sports identity shifts, the transition from 2 to 3 kids, sleep-deprived chaos, and the sacredness of the tiny moments that keep us connected when life is wild.

We laughed, we got vulnerable, we finally got the chance to stare into each others eyes… it's all here.

Grab your favorite tea, press play, and come hang with us 💛


Topics covered:

➡ What we’ve learned (and unlearned) in 10+ years of marriage

➡ How our energy, personalities, and love languages are total opposites... but complement each other in the best ways

➡ Living the traveling hockey life, and what it taught us about sacrifice, support, and starting over (again and again)

➡ Personal growth stuff from emotional intelligence to boundary setting

➡ How being “just a mom” was a struggle for Alaina at first

➡ Life as parents of energetic kids (and how we transitioned from 2 to 3)


Questions we answer from listeners:

– Are you more similar or different as a couple?

– How did you each handle your identity shift after sports?

– What are you doing to support your relationship after having kids?

– Do you go to therapy?

– How do you handle conflict as opposites?

– What’s changed since adding baby #3?

– What’s your parenting style?

– How do you find time to connect when you’re exhausted?
