What if the secret to a 42-year (and counting) thriving marriage was pretending to have an affair… with your own spouse?

In this electrifying episode, we sit down with breakthrough success coach Margie Dunki-Jacobs, who dropped this bombshell about how she and her husband reignited their relationship. But that’s just the beginning of her incredible story.

Margie walked away from a 46-year life in Vermont, turned to her husband and said, “I’m going. You coming?” She left the corporate ladder, the “go to college, get a good job” script, and the fear of the unknown behind to build a life and a business on her own terms.

We dive deep into: ✨ The unconventional “game” that brought dating, fun, and adventure back into a decades-long marriage. ✨ Releasing the expectations that hold you and your partner back from true growth and connection. ✨ How to get “unstuck” by simply asking, “What’s the next right step?” (You don’t need to see the whole road!). ✨ The power of a “shared North Star”how having a common vision makes the team work, even when you’re playing different positions. ✨ Why “No Expectations” might be the most liberating philosophy for love and life.

This is more than a success story. It’s a masterclass in courageous living, partnership, and designing a life you’re wildly excited to wake up for. Whether you’re feeling stuck in your career, your relationships, or just your daily routine, Margie’s contagious energy and profound wisdom will give you the permission slip you need to write your own rules.

Listen now and start your own breakthrough.

This week, we're serving up a special episode dedicated to Turkey Talk and the unstoppable, life-changing power of Gratitude.

Since we're Canadian (Happy American Thanksgiving, by the way!), we get to double-dip on this fantastic holiday, which naturally makes it one of our favourites! (In Canada, there’s a “u” in favourite). More pie, more football (which the you Americans definitely do better), and two chances to revel in the magic gratitude vibes.

We’re even experimenting with brining our turkey this year – HUGE shout out to the hilarious @aryahungry_!

🔑 Takeaway: You Can't Be Grateful and Angry at the Same Time!

We share an awesome gratitude hack inspired by a recent podcast interview: You simply can't hold gratitude and frustration/anger/anxiety in your mind simultaneously. If something sh!tty happens (like getting pulled over for speeding), immediately get creative and find a reason - any reason - to be grateful for it. It instantly pulls you out of that negative spiral.

❤️ Our ROL Gratitude List: What We're Thankful For This Year

We got vulnerable and shared some of the things we're genuinely stoked about this year. Here’s a peek at what's fueling our fire:

• Ourselves, Each Other, and Our Relationship We're starting with the source! Grateful for the hard work that allows us to show up as the best versions of ourselves.
• Our Health and Vitality We're in the best shape of our lives in our mid-40s. Shout out to TFP FIT, their 8-Week Transformation and the incredible community that came with it!
• We Wrote a Damn Book! Our game-changing relationship guide, The 200% Marriage, is launching in January 2026. Get on the list for updates, behind-the-scenes stories, and all the inappropriate bits that didn't make the final cut (not really - they just didn't flow!)!

🌟 Your Challenge: Get Creative with Gratitude

Before you go, we want to know: What are you grateful for? Drop us a comment or just take a few intentional moments today to think about and list all the cool things in your life. Remember, the energy of gratitude is unstoppable, and it will fundamentally change how you experience your whole life.

Road of Life Podcast Episode 109

Ready for a shot of pure inspiration? ✨

We sat down with the incredible Robin Carr, of Thrive Unapologetically, to chit-chat about her amazing journey from a high-earning corporate career to finding her true purpose as a motivational speaker and mindset coach.

Robin's transition wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, in fact she gets vulnerable and talks about how it led to the deepest depression of her life. But that low point was the catalyst for the self-work she was meant to do. She shares how she finally started listening to the little voice telling her she was meant for something greater.

We bonded over check-in questions as a strategy for connection with your teammate and she shares her go-to check-in question that leaves her feeling truly connected to her husband.

Robin dropped this truth bomb, and we had to write it down for you: "Your past does not define you. It prepares you." She beautifully explains that even the "bad things" in her life happened for her, preparing her to serve the people she's meant to serve today.

If you're ready to stop just surviving and start truly thriving (in life, business, and marriage!), you need to listen to this episode.
