Making It Work

Jordi and Kaitlin welcome their best friends, Gaby and Vicky Mena, who have been wildly influential on their marriage and family life. They discuss everything from creating a family culture to tattoo dates, sexy shower notes, and the importance of always dating your spouse.. all while sipping on some Rosé. Cheers!

Jordi shares some big career changes. He and Kaitlin discuss 'Rey' and his journey in Genoa City, share stories about the cast of the Rosales family, and give the scoop on how his departure went down. They discuss their growth since the last time he was in between gigs and share their tools for 'Making it Work' in the midst of uncertainty and embracing change.

In today's episode, we share about our most recent miscarriage. It’s definitely not easy to discuss, but we know that many, indeed MILLIONS, are suffering in silence because the subject matter is still so taboo. We hope you’ll join us as we share our experience with this most recent loss and the hard lessons we learned between our first miscarriage two years ago and today in an effort to build more empathy and understanding around this complicated, all too ‘common’ loss.

As our nation continues to try to process the tragedy at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, we share our concerns and possible solutions to this national crisis. We talk about the documentary we helped produce about the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and compare the safety failures between these two tragic shootings. Searching and imploring our audience to take on this very difficult subject matter, we look for ways to affect a system that unfortunately still allows for these atrocities to exist. We pray for healing for all of the victims families and hope that through discussion and action, not indifference, the lives lost will not be in vain.

When Kati Morton (LMFT, Episodes 6 & 7!) said that sex is one of the three main reasons that people get divorced, Jordi immediately knew it was a topic that had to be broached on Making it Work... convincing Kaitlin of this was not quite as immediate. Ha! In the intro to 'The Sex Series,' Jordi and Katie discuss times that intimacy has been an issue in their marriage, preserving kids' innocence in this day and age, and Katie (reluctantly) participates in a little intimacy Q&A and is shocked to find out that her husband, indeed, likes 'normal man' things.
