E8 We Spent $200,000 Trying to Find Ourselves

 Over the last 18 months, we spent nearly $200,000 traveling, learning, and chasing something most people never slow down enough to name, ourselves. This episode kicks off a raw, honest series about what pushed us to leave comfort behind, seek guidance outside our normal world, and intentionally choose experiences that stretched us individually and as a couple. This isn’t flexing, it’s reflection. Some of these experiences brought us closer; others forced hard conversations most couples avoid. We’ll share what we can publicly, what we learned, and why we believe chasing alignment matters more than chasing approval. This is Episode One of our journey to stop surviving and start living.

We’re Mark and Tonya, high school sweethearts married for 30 years.

Our goal is simple, to help couples build relationships that feel alive again.
