Why are we constantly trying to make ourselves more comfortable, and is that actually a good thing?

This week, we’re talking about our relationship with discomfort: why we avoid the things we know are good for us, what discipline has to do with it, and how learning to tolerate uncomfortable emotions shows up everywhere from running and health to parenting, relationships, and business.

We also get into emotional regulation, why we’re so quick to rescue our kids from hard feelings, and the difference between discomfort that’s telling you something isn’t right and discomfort that might actually be worth moving through.

Maybe comfort isn’t the problem. Maybe it’s how much we’re willing to sacrifice to avoid being uncomfortable.

What actually makes someone a good partner—not just in marriage, but in business and in life?

This week, we’re talking about the qualities we’ve realized matter most when you’re building a life with someone: how you handle stress, take responsibility, adapt when things don’t go as planned, stay disciplined, and keep going when things get uncomfortable.

We get into how becoming parents showed us sides of each other we couldn’t have known before having kids, the conversation that made us realize just how important that is, and why so many of the same qualities that matter in marriage and parenting also show up in entrepreneurship.

It’s a conversation about partnership, tenacity, discipline, and what it really looks like to build a life alongside someone.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to stop being a passenger in your own life.It started with something that happened in our house this week. Our son hurt his baby sister, and our first instinct was to correct the behavior. But when we looked deeper, we realized the behavior wasn’t the real problem, it was telling us something about what had changed in our family. That conversation led us into something much bigger.We explore how the same pattern shows up everywhere: in parenting, in our health, in our marriage, and in the routines we’re building after Noah left his career to become a full-time creator. We talk about why waiting for motivation rarely works, why your environment matters more than willpower, and how the smallest intentional choices can completely change the direction of your life.This is a conversation about ownership. About choosing to build your life instead of simply reacting to it.Because one day you look up and realize your life wasn’t shaped by one big decision, it was shaped by thousands of small ones.The question is: are you driving or just along for the ride?

In our very first episode of How We Live, we’re sharing the story behind some of the biggest decisions that completely changed the direction of our lives.

We talk about why Noah left his job, how living in New York during COVID unexpectedly led us to Kentucky and entrepreneurship, our thoughts on manifestation, what intentional living actually means to us, and how running transformed Noah’s mental health and perspective on life.

This is the beginning of a series of honest conversations about marriage, parenting, health, business, and building a life on purpose. We’re glad you’re here.
