In this episode, we chat about the curious world of the new AI app Endless Summer - a platform that lets users virtually "exist" anywhere they want. From tropical beaches to chic European cafes, people are using this app to post AI-generated content that makes it look like they're actually living their dream lives. Some users treat it as a fun escape, while others see it as a manifestation tool - believing that visualizing themselves in these places can help make those experiences a reality.

We unpack the psychology behind this phenomenon, exploring why so many people are drawn to creating these digital fantasies and what it says about our need for escapism, validiation, and control in a hyper-curated online world.

In this episode, we sit down for an honest conversation about marriage, money, and teamwork. We open up about how our financial habits have evolved from the early years of marriage to now, sharing what has worked and what hasn't along the way.

The heart of the discussion centers around communication, shared goals, and accountability-the key ingredients (we believe) that keep both the household and relationship on solid ground. From budgeting together to checking in on spending habits, we explore how being financially transparent has strengthened not just our bank accounts, but our marriages, too.

In this episode, we dive into the growing issue of phubbing- the act of snubbing someone in favor of your phone-and how its quietly impacting relationships everywhere. We start by discussing a 2024 study revealing that phubbing was actually listed as a contributing factor in divorce cases, a sign how digital distractions are reshaping connection and communication.

Dacia and I (Karissa) get real about our own experiences, admitting that while we might not ignore our spouses often, we catch ourselves phubbing our kids. We unpack why its so easy to get lost in a scroll, even with the people who matter the most, and how that behavior sends unintentional messages about priorities and presence.

We discuss our own simple strategies to break the habit so we can choose real connection over constant notifications. This episode is an honest reminder that being present isn't just about putting the phone down-its about showing up for the people we love.
