Quiet Quitting Your Marriage: Is Yours on Autopilot? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pull up a chair, y'all — this one might sting a little. 😅 You can quit your job without actually quitting — just coast, collect the paycheck, do the bare minimum. Turns out you can do the very same thing to your marriage. Therapists are calling it "quiet quitting," and it doesn't look like slamming doors or big blowups. It looks quiet. Still married, still splittin' the bills, still under the same roof… but somebody's drifted off to their own island. This week Paul & Laurel get real about what h

Read excerpt
Pull up a chair, y'all — this one's a keeper. This week Paul and Laurel sit down with their friend Nicole Kirkland-Smith, the author behind the brand-new children's book Pancakes with Nona: A Silly Messy Adventure — the first book in her "Adventures with Nona" series.

We're talking about lea
Raising Good Humans: Grit, Grace & a No-Phone Summer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nobody hands you a manual for raising good humans — you just do life and try not to mess 'em up too bad. In this episode, Paul and Laurel pick up where "Raising Boys to Be Men" left off and dig into the how : being warm AND the boss (the parenting shift everybody's talking about in 2026), the no-phone summer that's got families going analog again, why the most-searched parenting idea this year is actually privacy , and how grit and grace get built one hard thing at a time — with a little faith h
