We all need a friend we can talk to about anything. But it’s not always easy to find people who are willing to open up about pretty much anything. Allow me to be that friend. This is a podcast where no topic is off-limits, and we swap judgment for aiming to understand and relate to each other. Let’s just talk about life--the messy parts, and the pretty parts, and the in-between. We’ll talk self-love, mental health, relationships, body image, and so much more! Have a topic you wanna bring on? Pitch your idea to me over on Instagram @laurenmkendrick.

7 years ago I met a man that turned my world upside down. I was 22 at the time, had just given up on men (was in my "man-hating" phase) and decided to be a single independent woman living her best life.
Of course when I decided I was happy alone, I attracted a man right to me. That's how it always goes, right?? Anyway, up to that point my longest relationship had been 3 months. Most men I dated were verbally abusive cheaters, and for some reason I felt like I didn't deserve any better.
Then Jason entered the picture...he was respectful, funny, outgoing...he actually took me on dates! Early on we both figured it was just a fling & that our relationship wasn't really going anywhere. After all, we were both active duty Air Force in England at the time. He was supposed to deploy at any moment, and I had plans to separate from the military and move back to the states just a few months after we met.
Somehow the stars aligned...and here we are 7 years later about to get married. It's been a whirlwind and so much has happened since then. There were times that our relationship felt like an unreal fairytale. And times when I never thought we'd come back from some of the mistakes we made.
We were supposed to be getting married next month. Then everything went down with COVID-19, and we had to push back to October. But we didn't let that get to us, because Jason's positive outlook on life has transformed my life...and that's the exact kind of life partner I want!
We don't claim to be relationship experts AT ALL, and our relationship is far from perfect. But we wanted to share some of our life together with you in hopes that you can relate, feel more "normal", laugh with us, or get inspired.
In this episode we cover the story of how we met, what it was like for him to bring a son into the relationship, our biggest struggles as a couple (hint: Money, sex, parenting), and so much more!
Come hang out with us!
