Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith
Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations.

Episode 42 — A Throughline of Faith, Fatigue, and Perseverance
This week, Sidney and Tamra get real about what it means to keep showing up when your spirit’s tired and your prayers feel unanswered. From creative burnout to spiritual breakthroughs, they unpack how faith, frustration, and perseverance are all part of the same calling.
They talk about the moments when your gut says “let go” even after you’ve prayed for something, and how sometimes the hardest lesson is learning when to stop fighting and start trusting.
Tamra shares what she’s been learning in the classroom and how it mirrors life at home, while Sidney opens up about how Smoke Sessions was born out of exhaustion and faith colliding. Together, they break down the truth about prayer — it’s not a fix, it’s fuel for the work.
It’s one of the most honest conversations yet — equal parts funny, raw, and healing.
