    --------------------------------

    In a culture where busy schedules and unspoken expectations can quietly erode connection, how do we stay intentional in our relationships? In this episode, Diane sits down with author and TV producer Lindsay Jill Roth to discuss her book Romances & Practicalities: A Love Story (Maybe Yours!) in 250 Questions - a refreshingly honest guide to building lasting love with both heart and clarity. After a pivotal moment in her own relationship, Lindsay created 250 research-backed questions covering money, parenting, faith, ambition, and more - not to interrogate, but to illuminate. Together, Diane and Lindsay explore how intentional conversations strengthen communication, reveal hidden assumptions, and help couples move from autopilot to alignment.

My favorite episodes past and present address increasing time outside/reducing screen time, parenting, people pleasing/boundary setting, and how to declutter individual places in the home and non-physical areas of your life.
