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 46 — I Didn’t Disappear, I Was Depressed
This week, Sidney and Tamra open up about the real reason behind their four-month absence, and why sometimes the hardest battles are the ones nobody sees. Sidney gets honest about how his depression quietly crept in, what the early warning signs looked like, and how it started affecting everything from the gym to daily life.
Tamra shares what it’s like watching someone you love go through that kind of shift, and how support, patience, and honest conversations became essential during a heavy season. Together, they talk about the difference between being tired and being truly overwhelmed, and why paying attention to the small changes matters more than we think.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Running In Slow Motion without real-life moments along the way: marriage check-ins, mindset shifts, and the push-pull of trying to keep moving forward when life feels heavy.
Honest, vulnerable, and grounded — this one’s for anybody who’s ever had to keep showing up while quietly carrying more than people realize.
