About Me & My Pod

Welcome to Me & My Pod — the raw, real, and often ridiculous journey of a cross-cultural marriage. We’re Ricardo and Christian. Twenty years deep into a Haitian-American + American love story with five kids, a life in ministry, and a whole lot we’re still figuring out. Each week, we take you behind the curtain of our relationship to talk parenting, faith, conflict, connection, money, marriage rhythms (and the lack of them), and what happens when love spans cultures, traditions, and expectations. We're not experts. We’re not giving out formulas. We're opening our lives and asking the questions you're probably asking too. Whether you're newly married, raising kids, serving in ministry, or just navigating life together—we’re here to say: you’re not alone. New episodes every Monday at 7 PM ET. 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss a moment. 📝 Join the waitlist, get updates, and connect with us: https://meandmypod.framer.website/ Listen. Laugh. Learn. Fight fair. Stay curious. Let’s grow—together.
