#30 Dad Solo Parents + Mom Retreats to Tulum for 6 Days: How We Support Individual Growth in Our Marriage
When you’re raising toddlers, running a business and trying to stay connected as a couple, taking 6 days away to a retreat in the jungle might feel impossible or even selfish -- especially as a mom. But what if stepping away for your own growth actually made your partnership and parenting stronger?
In this episode, we share exactly how we planned for, pivoted and made possible Aman’s recent 6-day trip to a women’s retreat in Tulum, Mexico and what it really took to make it happen. From the prep (wall calendar, Costco run and a homemade advent countdown for our son) to the mindset shifts (on both sides), this is a behind-the-scenes look at how we support each other’s personal growth while parenting two young kids. The lesson: there's no perfect time.
You’ll hear:
What we did 2 weeks in advance to reduce stress (and set each other up to thrive)
The advent calendar hack that helped our 3-year-old stay connected while Mom was gone
The quiet mindset shift Tom used to stay calm and present during solo parenting
How we handled the inevitable curveballs (hello, stomach flu and missed workouts)
Why your own nourishment and identity outside of parenting matters so much more than people think
We’re not perfect at this, and the trip back home didn’t go as planned, but we’re learning to build a marriage where both partners grow, dream and thrive. Even (and especially) when it’s messy.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting space … or struggled to get your partner on board for time away, this episode will shift something for you.

#29: How to Revisit Your Expenses Without the Stress (and Save Hundreds Doing It)
We’ve gone from “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.” to making our money work for us. But, the relationship with our money is an ongoing one that’s so easy to put aside or avoid when life gets busy.
We’ve been meaning to review our monthly expenses, optimize our subscriptions and who’s paying what… but life keeps moving, and it just hasn’t happened. Until now.
In this episode, we walk you through the exact process we’re using right now to get more mindful and intentional with our money as a couple. After attending the Rich Girl Era Money Summit In Vancouver, Aman shares what reignited her obsession with personal finance, what she realized was missing (spoiler: a one-pager listing our accounts, logins, and bill breakdowns), and the small changes we’re making that are already saving us hundreds.
We talk about:
The $120 subscription shift we made this week (and how we’re tracking renewals now)
Why “just calling to negotiate” isn’t always simple and how we made it easier for ourselves
How to stop defaulting to overspending and start aligning with your actual values
The mantra Aman picked at the Summit that’s already changed her money habits
We’ve gone from turning off the heat to save a few dollars… to paying for a Porsche in cash. But this episode isn’t about extremes. It’s about intention. Teamwork. And looking at the numbers. It's the small shifts that build a life of freedom together.
Whether you're just starting to get a handle on your finances or you've been tracking every penny for years, this episode will give you real-life strategies (and a nudge of motivation) to get back in the driver’s seat with your partner.
