68 | Relationship Mini Series - 10 Things I Hate About My Husband with Shayla Huber

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we're joined by Shayla Huber—author of “10 Things I Hate About My Husband: How God Healed My Heart, Restored My Marriage & Set Me Free.” Shayla vulnerably shares her journey of frustration, brokenness, and ultimately, spiritual transformation.

You’ll hear how it wasn’t her husband who needed to change first—it was her own heart that needed healing. Through her relationship with God, Shayla found freedom, perspective, and restoration in her marriage that she never imagined possible.

If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or even resentful in your relationship, this episode offers hope and encouragement from a woman who’s been there. This conversation is a reminder that true healing and lasting change start with us—and that with God, restoration is always possible.

👉 Tune in for a refreshing perspective shift, biblical truth, and encouragement for your own marriage journey. This one will meet you right where you are.

I pray this blesses you,

70 | Relationship Mini Series - How Honest Communication & This One Resource Changed Everything In Our Marriage

In this final episode of our Relationship Mini-Series, I’m so excited to bring on a very special guest—my husband! Together, we’re having a real, unfiltered conversation about how communication has shaped and strengthened our marriage over the years.

We know firsthand how tempting it can be to avoid difficult conversations, especially when emotions run high or it feels safer to stay silent. But through a lot of trial and error (and God's grace!), we’ve discovered that working through the hard conversations—even when it’s messy—leads to deeper trust, stronger unity, and true emotional intimacy.

In this episode, we’re sharing super practical ways you can start improving your communication today, no matter what season your marriage is in. Plus, we’re opening up about one major shift we made in our communication over the last five years that completely transformed how we relate to and support each other.

Marriage takes work, intentionality, and a whole lot of grace — but it is always, always worth it. If you’re craving better connection, more honest conversations, and a stronger foundation with your spouse, this conversation is for you.

👉 Lean in for real talk, practical encouragement, and hope for your marriage journey. You are not alone—and there’s so much beauty on the other side of choosing to grow together.

I pray this blesses you,
