023. What Marriage Really Looks Like When You're Raising Babies and Building a Business

Nobody's posting the 2am feeding fight or the "whose turn is it" standoff on their Instagram grid. But that's the stuff that's actually happening — and it's the stuff worth talking about.
This week's episode is airing on my wedding anniversary, and even though Scott didn't end up joining me, I still wanted to mark it with something honest. I'm sharing what marriage actually looks like for us right now — in this season of two kids, two businesses, and all the beautiful mundane chaos in between. And then I'm getting into what I genuinely believe it takes to stay connected to your partner when life is this full.
In this episode, you'll hear me talk about:
- What our marriage really looks like day-to-day — the real version, not the anniversary dinner version
- Why the "roommate era" of early parenthood is real, temporary, and doesn't mean anything is wrong
- The difference between little things and real things — and the question I ask myself before I open my mouth
- Why Scott and I started couples therapy when nothing was "wrong" — and what that taught me about investing in what's good before it breaks
- What it's actually like when both partners are building online businesses at the same time, and how we navigate the tension around bandwidth and who carries what
