Two childhoods shaped by faith, affection, and chaos meet in a marriage that chooses ownership over excuses. We trace how family origins formed our conflict styles, how faith guided our parenting of six, and how reframing turns pain into legacy.

• single-parent home vs youngest of seven
• faith-filled environments with loneliness and anxiety
• affection present alongside absent or conflicted fathers
• conflict styles: open talk vs shutdown and avoidance
• counseling, prayer, and differing church traditions
• early marriage friction and unmet expectations
• meeting in the middle through ownership and repair
• parenting six: discipline, apology, service, and love
• reframing hardship, building resilience, choosing legacy
• practical tools: don’t sleep angry, apologize, keep talking

We explore how modern life keeps the stress response stuck on and what that does to hormones, sleep, mood, and energy. We share a practical path back to balance through rhythm, stillness, nutrient support, faith, and connection.

• what stress is and how fight or flight works
• chronic stress as a baseline and burnout signals
• addiction to busyness and the purpose gap
• men’s stress pattern and testosterone seesaw
• women’s stress pattern and progesterone drain
• adaptogens, magnesium, omega-3s, B vitamins, turmeric
• faith, stillness, and the 4-7-8 breath
• rhythms for sleep, meals, movement, and light
• connection and community as regulators
• moving from survival to restoration
