I open up about the early days of my relationship with Craig, the moment my daughters began trusting him, and the practices that helped us build a strong foundation through honest communication, vulnerability, and consistency. I also share how old wounds around money and safety showed up for both of us, and how we learned to work through those triggers instead of letting them pull us apart. This episode is also about the beginning of a completely new life. I share our intimate wedding in Aspen, what it was like for Craig to step into being a new dad, and how we began building a family and a business at the same time. If you’ve ever wondered how to trust again after being hurt, how to create safety in a new relationship, or how to build a partnership rooted in honesty, communication, and shared purpose, I hope this episode reminds you that trust can be rebuilt one conversation, one choice, and one act of consistency at a time.
