In this episode, Nancy and Matthew take a hilarious tour through the land of pet peeves, exploring everyday irritations with humor, love, and just the right amount of sarcasm.

We all just need to let go of what really doesn’t matter. It’s a candid, funny, and all-too-relatable take on navigating life’s small irritations while staying connected, curious, and maybe even a little more chill.

In this unfiltered episode, Nancy and Matthew dive deep into their messy, funny, and sometimes frustrating journey to better health. They share lessons from blood tests, body scans, fad diets, and functional medicine—and reveal what actually worked (and what absolutely didn’t).

Along the way, they talk about the emotional side of health, how to stay motivated when nothing seems to work, and why it’s essential to craft a sustainable lifestyle rather than chase another diet. Expect real talk about resistance bands, bread cravings, marriage teamwork, metabolism madness, and the occasional desperate experiment with apple cider vinegar.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by health advice, frustrated by slow results, or just need a reminder that progress isn’t perfect—you’re in the right place.

Spoiler: It's not about perfection. It's about not giving up.

In this unfiltered episode, Nancy and Matthew dive into the complex world of in-laws—where respect meets resentment, and personal choices collide with family expectations. They unpack decades of family dynamics, cultural differences, and advice passed down from parents (“Don’t complain to the in-laws!”). With personal stories, generational truths, and a few awkward laughs, this episode explores how marriage isn’t just between two people—it’s between two family systems.

Whether you’re navigating a tricky relationship with your child’s partner or wondering what to say (or not say) at the next family gathering, this one’s for you.

Takeaways:

• Navigating relationships with in-laws necessitates a profound understanding of diverse family dynamics.
• Respect and communication are paramount in mitigating conflicts that may arise from differing cultural backgrounds.
• Personal choices in marriage inherently involve the blending of two distinct family systems, often leading to unforeseen tensions.
• Constructive advice from parents often emphasizes the importance of refraining from discussing marital disputes with in-laws.
• Generational differences play a significant role in shaping how family members perceive and interact with one another.
• Ultimately, fostering kindness and understanding within family relationships remains an essential goal in navigating these complex dynamics.

Nancy and Matthew return from GrowthDay in Austin with fresh insights on connection, personal development, and the power of finding your "growth friends." Between deep talk about adult friendships and a wildly untrained puppy named Celia, they explore how our circles evolve, why making friends later in life is harder (but worth it), and how the messy stuff often makes for the best stories. It's heartfelt, chaotic, and 100% unfiltered—just the way we like it.

Nancy and Matthew are back—hot flashes, party-crashing, church-hopping and all. In this unfiltered episode, they unpack one of the most misunderstood myths in relationships: that marriage is supposed to be 50/50. From raising kids and managing a home to who really scrubs the bathroom and how to survive grocery shopping together, they dive into the real dynamics behind long-term love. Along the way, they tackle resentment, communication (or the lack of it), and why it’s totally okay to make a sandwich like a damn artist.

Oh, and what happens when you suddenly realize you actually like your partner?

Tune in for laughs, truth bombs, and a sneak peek at next week’s episode on making (and keeping) real friendships.

Matthew thinks he’s got it all figured out, but Nancy has a different take. In this unfiltered debut, we tackle family, finances, and the fine art of disagreeing—because sometimes, the right answer isn’t so clear.
