    WE’RE ON SPECIAL FORCES!
    Sep 24 2025
    In this episode, we’re finally spilling a secret we kept for far too long.. which is all about our time on SPECIAL FORCES!! We take you through the experience day by day- what it was really like to be on the show, how we tackled it together as a couple, the ways it pushed us to our absolute limits, and how it broke us down (in the best way possible). Tune in tomorrow at 9PM Eastern on FOX (and every Thursday after that!)- and if you miss it live, you can catch it streaming the next day on Hulu. We’ll be recapping each episode here on the podcast, so we hope you watch along with us, share your thoughts, and join the conversation :) This was truly the most incredible journey we’ve ever been on, and we’re beyond honored to have been chosen. We are SO excited to relive it with you all, let’s do this! @RealityClubFox Love you guys!

    Aug 22 2025
    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 #Marriage #Relationships #ShawnAndAndrewPods Learn more about your ad choices.

    273 | The Hardest Times in Our Relationship (and What Helped Us Through)
    Aug 13 2025
    Today’s episode was a vulnerable one. Andrew and I have walked through some hard times in our marriage that, at the time, were honestly really rough. Looking back now, they have brought us so much closer together and we’re better for it. Today we’re sharing some of the hardest seasons of our marriage in hopes that it encourages anyone out there to feel less alone. NOBODY has a perfect marriage and the more open we can be with each other about the struggles, the more we can support each other to keep fighting the good fight. If you’re going through a hard time in marriage just remember, It’s never too late to ask for help or bring people in to walk with you through it.
