Love for Life Podcast
The podcast for modern couples who want real connection that lasts.
Hosted by relationship and family coach Nichole Farrow and her husband Ben, this show is for couples trying to stay close while raising kids, building careers, and handling the stress of everyday life. Each week, they unpack the real issues behind modern relationships—intimacy, emotional connection, mental load, conflict, communication, and the quiet resentments no one talks about.
With a mix of expert insight and raw honesty, Nichole and Ben give you practical tools to strengthen your relationship, raise emotionally secure kids, and create a life you both actually want. Because working on your relationship isn’t just for when things go wrong—it’s a lifestyle choice that impacts everything. Research shows couples who invest in their connection are 6x more successful and live 4 years longer.
If you’re ready to break generational cycles, ditch the surface-level advice, and do the real work of love—this is your podcast.

#25: How to Do Less, Feel Better, and Actually Enjoy the Holidays
This time of year is supposed to feel magical—but for a lot of us, it feels like pressure. Too many expectations. Too much to spend. Too many people to please. And beneath it all, that creeping feeling of guilt: Am I doing enough? Am I giving enough? Am I getting it right?
In this episode, Nichole and Ben talk honestly about why Christmas can feel so heavy for parents, couples, and families—and what we can do to change it. From managing kids’ expectations to dealing with family conflict and sticking to a budget that actually feels good—they’re here to help you let go of the pressure and focus on what really matters.
They also share what the stats aren’t saying: how this season brings up so much more than just shopping lists and schedules. It brings up stories, comparisons, and the weight of trying to make everything perfect.
If you’re already feeling stretched too thin, this is your permission slip to stop trying to do it all. You don’t need to create the perfect Christmas. You just need a real one.
Plus: Nichole and Ben share details of their Festive Survival Guide and Founding Member Offer to help you shift the season from burnout to balance.
