The Intentional Life Podcast
Welcome to The Intentional Life Podcast, where we (Jeff and Kim) dive into the real, messy, and meaningful sides of life. We’re a married couple with over 20 years together, raising a family, building careers, and learning to live with purpose—while figuring out all the ups and downs that come along with it.
Here, you’ll find conversations that go beyond the surface. We talk about marriage, parenting, personal growth, and everything in between, sharing honest stories from our journey and insights from people who inspire us. We’re big believers in leaning into discomfort to find real growth, and we’re not here to pretend we have it all figured out. Instead, we’re here to keep it raw, relatable, and maybe even a little messy.
If you’re ready to stop just going through the motions and start living with intention, we’d love for you to join us on this journey. Hit subscribe, and let’s explore what it means to live a life that truly matters.

Supporting Each Other Better
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Work stress doesn’t stay at work. It follows us home, into our tone, our silence, and the way we show up for the people we love. In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to support each other without turning stress into distance or resentment.
We unpack how different jobs can carry the same pressure, why the transition from work to home matters more than most people realize, and how small moments of awareness can change the entire tone of a night. We talk openly about when to step in and say something, when to back off and give space, and why trying to “help” the wrong way often makes things heavier instead of lighter.
This conversation is rooted in real life, not theory. We share what’s helped us navigate long days, emotional overload, and misaligned expectations, and how learning to decompress, regulate our emotions, and communicate clearly has strengthened our relationship over time.
If work has been feeling heavy, if home has felt tense, or if you’re trying to show up better for your partner without burning each other out, this episode is for you.
