HERself
As women and mothers of young children, it can be easy to compare ourselves to others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers! Being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. Are you wanting more ease in your marriage? Or more enjoyment as a parent? Are you looking for a strategy to the health challenges you have been facing recently? Do you feel like you have been staring at a stranger in the mirror since becoming a mother? Abby and Amy get vulnerable with topics around partnership, motherhood, health, and self improvement by interviewing authors, therapists, experts and everyday mothers. Our conversations will meet you with solutions and solidarity as you find a life path that feels aligned for you.

303. The Top 3 Things We've Learned in Marriage
Marriage is a constant journey of learning, growth, and reminding ourselves of the basics—especially during stressful seasons. In this week’s episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our own marriages to share the top three lessons we’ve each learned with our spouses over the years.
We kick things off with a little chit chat (thanks to Colin for the idea!) about what we’ve been reading and watching lately before diving into the heart of the episode: the relationship lessons that continue to shape our marriages.
Here’s what you’ll hear in today’s episode:
- Amy’s #1: Why standing by your core values matters, even when it feels uncomfortable—especially when it comes to finances.
- Abby’s #1: The power of speaking up when it matters most (without nitpicking everything).
- Amy’s #2: Shifting your perspective from “me vs. you” to “us vs. the problem.”
- Abby’s #2: Embracing the reality that we all change over time—and learning to love your spouse as they grow.
- Amy’s #3: Letting your partner positively influence you (this one gets spicy!).
- Abby’s #3: Why having dreams together matters—and how to let your spouse in on yours.
If you’ve been craving real, honest conversations about what makes marriage work, this episode will give you tangible reminders, relatable stories, and encouragement to keep building a strong foundation with your partner.
