Why is it sometimes so hard to tell our kids no, even when we know the boundary makes sense?
This week on How We Live, we’re talking about why setting boundaries with our kids can bring up so much guilt, frustration, and second-guessing. We get into how our own childhood experiences shape the way we respond to conflict, why we sometimes feel responsible for our children’s happiness, and how easy it is to confuse their disappointment with doing something wrong.
We also talk about what it looks like to hold boundaries without getting pulled into endless negotiations, when flexibility makes sense, and how to recognize whether we’re changing our minds for a good reason or simply trying to avoid an uncomfortable reaction.
If you’ve ever found yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no, this one’s for you.

Perfectionism Will Kill Your Business Before You Even Start
This week on How We Live, we’re taking you behind the scenes of how we actually turn an idea into a business.
We walk through the process we use to figure out whether an idea is worth pursuing, define who it’s for and the problem it solves, build the offer, decide what actually needs to go inside it, price it, sell it, and continue improving it once real people are going through it.
We’re also sharing what we’re doing right now as we build our newest coaching program together, what we’ve learned from building previous businesses and offers, and what we’d do differently if we were starting from scratch today.
If you have an idea you’ve been sitting on but aren’t sure how to turn it into something people will actually pay for, this episode is for you.

The Never-Ending Pursuit of More
We’re always working toward something. More money, more success, a bigger business, a faster race, becoming a better parent, a healthier version of ourselves. But what happens when we actually get the thing we wanted… and almost immediately start looking for what’s next?
This week on How We Live, we’re talking about abundance, scarcity, ambition, and why “enough” can be such a moving target. We get into how quickly the things we once wanted become normal, the way social media can distort what enough even looks like, and whether dissatisfaction is actually necessary to keep growing.
Because wanting more isn’t necessarily the problem. The bigger question is whether we can keep building, growing, and chasing big goals without needing the next thing to finally make us feel successful.

Fear, Parenting & the Choices We Make
Fear shows up in so many of our decisions, from starting something new to the way we raise our kids. But how often are we making choices based on what we actually value versus what we’re afraid might happen?
This week on How We Live, we’re talking about feeling the fear and doing it anyway. We get into the fears we’ve navigated in business, running, and everyday life, and how parenting from fear can sometimes contribute to the exact outcome we’re trying to prevent.
We also talk about recognizing when fear is worth listening to, making room for uncomfortable emotions, and choosing how we want to respond even when we’re scared.

How We Build Content, Go Viral & Build Brands
Content creation is a huge part of both of our jobs now, but our approaches to it are actually pretty different.This week, we’re taking you behind the scenes of how we plan our content from what gets scripted to how we think about viral videos, analytics, and what our process has been for building brands.We also talk about what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what we would each do if we had to start over tomorrow with zero followers.Follow us on Instagram:@that.intentionalmama@runnerdad.life

Manifestation, Mindset, and Toxic Positivity
We believe pretty strongly in manifestation but where’s the line between believing something is possible and ignoring what’s actually happening?
This week, we’re talking about manifestation & toxic positivity: how our beliefs shape what we notice and how we act, why two things can be true at the same time, and what it looks like to move through hard emotions instead of trying to positive think our way out of them.
We also get into how this mindset shows up in business, parenting, and our willingness to start before we feel ready. For us, manifestation isn’t about expecting everything to go perfectly. It’s trusting that we can figure things out, pivot when we need to, and keep moving forward.

Comfort is Holding You Back
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.

Choosing the Right Partner: Business, Marriage & Life
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.

Stop Letting LIFE Happen To You
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?

The Story Behind How We Live
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.
