You already know His & Her Money isn’t just a financial podcast. We like to shift things over to the marriage side to help all of you guys learn to be a better couple, grow together and not apart, and tackling some of the problems we can all be dealing with in our day to day lives.
Sometimes, as we’re putting in the work to grow our businesses and build our wealth, the focus on our personal relationships can slip to the back burner. But don’t get discouraged – it’s never too late to reverse the slide and get your house back in order!
For this episode, Dr. Josh Straub is joining us here at the His & Her Money Show to spread some wisdom and insight on family life, and the power of paying attention. With a Ph.D. in counseling, Josh and his wife Christi created Famous At Home, a podcast and ministry founded around doing exactly as it sounds – channeling our drive to be a person of interest in our communities and professions, into being a rockstar in our homes.
Keeping our marriages and home lives a top priority is essential. Especially as we get caught up in the social media world. Likes and positivity from strangers can give us that sense of validation we may feel we’re lacking at home.
It’s a serious misplacement of energy, and Josh amassed his knowledge through a combo of education and first-hand experience. As he and Christi worked through their own issues, he decided to put all that information to good use and is all about coaching households through the process of finding the perfect work/balance.
He touches on so many subjects, from being intentional and present with our spouses and kids, to getting past preconceived ideas of masculinity, why suppressing emotions is harmful, and giving out some powerful tools, exercises, and resources so we can nurture these relationships and build our more important bonds stronger than ever.
Feelings charts and deep conversations with our spouse about our emotions might not seem like the best time, but by the end of Josh’s story, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t start sooner!
