I Do, We Do | Discussing Careers, Collabs, Communication, and Challenges

Setting goals together did not always come easy for us. Billy had two decades of experience before meeting Ashley. Ashley had no experience. Billy remained persistent, but was patient as Ashley explored goal setting. And now it’s become a way we bond and allow us to grow together. Listen in as we provide examples to encourage your partner when they are not on board. What We Talked About in this Episode: Our experience setting goals prior to our relationship Billy began setting goals at the age of four. By the time we met, he had years of knowledge on the value of goal-setting. Ashley had never set goals and not even a new year’s resolution. The closest she ever came to setting a goal was giving something up for Lent. Billy’s passion for goal-setting was tough for Ashley to match at first Ashley was apprehensive towards goal-setting Billy continued mentioning resources for Ashley to start the process but nothing stuck. It wasn’t until Billy guided Ashley into a program that gave her the space to find her own footing. Goal setting brought us together Billy was patient but persistent in getting Ashley to embrace goal-setting Billy adapted his style to a style that work for us together Ready to start setting goals as a couple?

A year ago our worlds were rocked with the news of our pregnancy. We immediately captured all those feelings (and more) in a podcast episode (EP 38) that later became our pregnancy announcement. Fast forward to now where we listen back on that episode. We reflect on where we were mentally, and where we are now... and you can bet there were some tears shed (again)!    

In this weeks episode, we discuss why we are taking a different approach with our goals this year after struggling in 2019 to accomplish all we set out to do. We share a few goals and how they have a similar destination as last year, but how we plan to get there is different. We are focusing more on the journey this year. We are taking things slow. We are working through some stuff over here.

We share another couple of takes in this episode where each of us shares a take on something going on in the world. Our takes this episode are about people from across the pond. Ashley talks about Harry and Meghan making an important decision for their family. Billy talks about not understanding people investing money in the MMA fight with Conor McGregor who is an all around horrible person. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our takes.

Last episode we looked back on 2019, which was a challenging year for us. It ended up being our best year ever. In this episode, we look forward to 2020, a new year and decade. We are in a much different place now. We answer some questions we reflected on during our planning retreat and share our new vision for our relationship moving forward. We know this will be our best year ever yet again! Oh and don't miss Billy sing a little Wicked!
