We hope this podcast is a living example of what self-actualization looks like in the everyday. Above all, we hope to grow together. Welcome to the Growth Minded Marriage.

Growing Pains

Finding the right path as an individual as well as one half of a partnership, is well, tricky. We have found that our only answer is more open and clear communication. But how does someone communicate calmly and clearly when there are kids and cleaning and work and noise? So much noise. You would think hosting a podcast with your partner would help, but it only highlighted the ways that we were missing the mark. Trusting that each of us wants to grow together can feel like a risk. What if you be...

Gratitude: His and Hers

We hope you enjoy this episode's fresh perspective. We want to share what gratitude actually looks like in a marriage and in life. It is one thing to be told that "you should start a gratitude practice," and quite another to hear how it has shaped our daily lives. For both Kevin and I, gratitude is ingrained in the way we see the world and how we communicate. It is certainly a lighter way to live and a happier perspective, but we don't want to mislead you that it solves all our problems. We use ...

Solo episode: Mary starts a self-compassion practice

I feel truly inspired to share my new self-compassion practice. You know when something just hits you on the right day at the right time and it feels like you just stumbled in to your future??? As I continue on my personal growth and healing journey I have become more and more open to new ways of approaching the same problems and finding a lot of creative solutions. Self compassion feels like the next creative (yet logical and rooted in science) addition to my journey. I release the feelings of ...

Our Secret to Happiness

Kevin and Mary look back on their childhood to explain how they developed their own growth mindsets aka their secret to happiness. They discuss how their different coping strategies to Kevin's childhood bullying and Mary's childhood trauma and subsequent shame gave them the capacity to one day fully embrace the power of the growth mindset. Their early lives led them on a twisty path to a magical place called Leadershape when they were in their early 20s, which is where they first met. Leadershap...

Challenges: Mary Craves Career Alignment

Mary candidly describes her desire to have a career that is aligned with her whole self. She discusses her current career and how she is exploring the pieces of her authentic self that seem to lie outside the parameters of her work as a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant. This conversation between Kevin and Mary was impromptu and is a great peak in to what their many "off air" conversations sound like.

Real Life Check In

We share a real time update of what's been going on since we launched the podcast. To be clear, we recorded half of this episode the week before episode 1 aired, and then we inserted a part starting at 12:38 the week after it aired. Confusing, but authentic, we hope you enjoy. We discuss: an uncomfortable conversation in which we realize we are on separate dream life journeys the resolution to that conversation and how we plan to move forward how the podcast is already a success why Growth Minde...
