  After a month-long break and a failed recording, we have returned to recap the past two months of our first year of marriage. We discuss new life updates and blessings like reconnecting with friends and family, enjoying activities, and finding joy in daily life. Lessons include not taking things personally, communicating needs for space, being “open and curious,” valuing small moments of intimacy, and taking risks while recognizing when something isn’t serving you. We're so glad to back! Thank you for sharing this journey with us!

  Six Months Married: Navigating Mental Health and Hard Seasons

  Jul 18, 202641 minS1

  In this vulnerable episode, we discuss mental health and marriage after Sidonia shares a difficult month marked by anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms, including losing her remote job, heightened insecurity about contributing financially, a depressive episode, and physical stress reactions. We describe misunderstandings that can happen in marriage when one partner doesn’t fully understand mental illness, the importance of asking for outside help, and how to seek mental and physical health support. Ty encourages faith, patience, openness, and day-by-day thinking, emphasizing that neither partner is the problem and they must work together. He also shares lessons on patience, adapting how you love your partner, staying present, and the importance of laughter.
