We would love to hear from you!!!

Two good things, one hard choice. That was our week. And honestly, this is life a lot of the time. Drop a ❤️ if you’ve been there—choosing between two things you both deeply love. One moment I was celebrating the little joys: a peaceful beach day, family time, and being present in the moment. The next, I was facing a real choice:

• Be there for my daughter
• Or attend an event I had poured my heart into all year

I didn’t love the decision. But I knew my values had already answered it for me. Not every hard choice is between right and wrong. Sometimes it’s between two good things, and you have to ask: What am I really called to protect in this season?

Maybe that’s the real work of growth—making choices that match your values, even when it hurts.What would you choose?

We would love to hear from you!!!

Angie and Aric expose the real meaning of intimacy—and why grief, marriage, and a horse named Phoenix are all part of the same conversation.

What if the intimacy you think you’re missing is already there—you’re just measuring it wrong?

Angie and Aric unpack a raw, honest conversation about marriage, vulnerability, and the gap between how men and women often define closeness, then connect it to the deeper work of sitting with each other instead of fixing each other.

They share the TikTok that stopped Angie in her tracks, the words that made her feel seen, and the hard truth behind why this topic can spark tension fast. You’ll hear how intimacy can look like asking “What do you need right now?”, staying present in someone’s breakdown, remembering the small things, and creating safety without trying to solve everything.

Then the episode shifts into one of their most moving updates yet: Phoenix, the horse tied to Hallie’s legacy, and the young girl who’s now carrying that dream forward.

Angie and Aric talk about the pain and beauty of watching another child ride the horse Hallie loved, the signs they keep seeing everywhere, and what it means to honor grief while still making room for joy.They also take you to a memorial barrel race filled with emotional firsts, unexpected signs, and a rainbow that felt impossible to ignore. Along the way, they get real about travel quirks, hotel-bed compromises, bad driving habits, and the funny ways marriage reveals both your strengths and your mess.

Angie and Aric are speaking directly to anyone navigating marriage, loss, or the strange beauty of learning to hold joy and grief at the same time. If you need a reminder that intimacy is deeper than touch, that healing is messy, and that love can still move forward after loss, this one will stay with you.Perfect for couples, grieving hearts, and anyone who needs a little honesty, comfort, and connection today.
