EP056 // A subscriber found him a job 👀 // My nurse husband spills the tea on healthcare

Buy me a coffee so Mr. Hallease will stop dragging me : ko-fi.com/hallease My first group trip goes live on Wednesday: https://trovatrip.com/trip/central-america/costa-rica/costa-rica-with-hallease--aug-24-2024 Healthcare Market Place: https://www.healthcare.gov/apply-and-enroll/how-to-apply/ A few months back we talked candidly about Atlanta and how adjusting to this bigger city was a struggle for Mr. Hallease. Then, in an amazing twist of fate, a subscriber suggested that he switch to a remote job based on his skillset and now here we are! This episode is a celebration of the community and a candid conversation about the American healthcare system.

EP054 // The Men Are Not Okay... // Male Drift And Dating

EP054 // The Men Are Not Okay... // Male Drift And Dating

It's been well documented that things are awkward in the dating scene across the country but now male drift is becoming another issue on the scene. Hallease and Mr. Hallease wildly speculate and give an anecdotal analysis of the phenomenon from friends and colleagues. 

Hey y'all! Realized we never defined male drift!

EP053 // He doesn’t like it here // Our first 5 months in Atlanta as Texans #StumbleWellPodcast

It’s been a while since we’ve put out a couples podcast, and we like to keep it 100 on feelings whenever we do. In this episode, Mr. Hallease talks about how he’s (not) adjusting to being in Atlanta as a registered nurse. We cover social anxieties, feeling like you’re backtracking professionally, being a simpleton in a big new city, and much more. If you’re new to the podcast, thanks for watching/listening! We’re happy to have you. Transitions are hard.  Welcome to a slice of ours!

Check out Hallease’s Closet: https://halleasecloset.com

Read the full article: https://www.thecut.com/2023/04/outsourcing-my-orgasm.html


In this episode of the StumbleWell Podcast, Hallease and Chris discuss an article in which a married woman decides to receive an erotic massage to reclaim her sexuality. Through the podcast we ask a simple, yet complicated, question is this cheating? The answer to that question aside, this article opened up our conversation to issues around sexual frustration that can come up in heterosexual relationships and how difficult it can be to repair miscommunications during intimacy. Keep it classy in the comments!

EP049 She Daydreamed about Him Dying 💀

EP049 She Daydreamed about Him Dying 💀

Is it weird to daydream about your partner dying? Apparently not. According to marriage counselors and researchers, wanting a hard reset in a relationship is pretty normal. So normal, it has a name, a phenomenon known as the spousal death daydream. In this episode of the StumbleWell podcast, we'll talk about this peculiar phenomenon and how it's changed over the course of our relationship. #marriagepodcast #couplespodcast #stumblewellpodcast

He's had an interrupted year of writing for his podcast "How Does This End?" and he's working on his first novel. Let's catch up with Mr. Hallease on how his creative writing career is going.

EP045 // Why is The Pope always doing the most?!

EP045 // Why is The Pope always doing the most?!

The Pope recently went on the record scolding couples who decide to have pets instead of kids. On this episode of the #StumbleWell podcast, we discuss his statements. Full disclosure, Hallease is not catholic and Mr. Hallease is a "cafeteria catholic" at best. We discuss how Pope Francis' comments can be tied back to different ideas around race, gender, and money. If you've watched a few episodes of the podcast then you know we're comfortably child-free currently so we found Pop Francis' comments interesting but also not surprising. We also discuss the bigger struggles of larger institutions as well. Keep it holy in the comments y'all!

EP 043 // He quit his job and started a short story podcast ✍🏽

EP 043 // He quit his job and started a short story podcast ✍🏽

This StumbleWell podcast was recorded back in June of 2021.  After much pushing, Mr. Hallease has officially stepped away from nursing and is now writing full-time. In this episode, we're talking about the process of him leaving nursing and also how our parents responded. We also touch on how this is even possible financially (Adobe Creative Residency) and the inherent privileges that come along with making a big decision like this one. It's interesting to fit into the "people who quit during the pandemic" statistic, especially in this season of "I don't dream of labor."  It's been an interesting 2021, to say the least, thanks for sticking with us through it all, and hopefully, we'll have more episodes coming your way soon.

She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By The Sink: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/she-divorced-me-i-left-dishes-by-the-sink_b_9055288

In this episode of the StumbleWell podcast, we’re unpacking this essay that was published through their now closed HuffPost Contributor platform. In it, a now divorced man explains why his wife left him for not putting dishes away but obviously it wasn’t about the dishes it was about something more. Mr. Hallease gives his take as a still married man on the topic, and begs the question — did you truly learn the lesson? Hallease tries to give him the benefit of the doubt acknowledging that at least he got to this point of acceptance, which can maybe lead to more growth. Is anything solved by the end of the podcast? Nah.

On this episode of the podcast Hallease tries to make sense of her inability to decide if she wants children or not while Mr. Hallease argues that having children is not based on logic but emotion.  Ridiculousness again ensues quickly.

EP038 - Would we be ex-pats or immigrants? On leaving the US and "living abroad"

Over the past few months, we've been having numerous discussions about leaving the United States to live abroad and the implications of that.  Within this broad topic, we cover a lot of themes and questions.  For example, what is the difference between an ex-patriot and an immigrant? We discuss our American privilege around leaving and potentially impacting another country's economy.

EP037 - Should we buy a house...again? // StumbleWell podcast

In 2018, we purchased our first home and long story short, we ended up homeless. We learned a lot from that experience, not only about homeownership but what we each individually want out of life.  One of our Patreon producers asked if we would ever purchase a home again and let's just say, even though it's been over a year since we settled our lawsuit the wounds are still fresh.

EP035 - Do you wish I was a virgin?

EP035 - Do you wish I was a virgin?

As two people who were both raised in different sects of the Christian faith, we've both had conversations around virginity in marriage. Neither of us was virgins when we met.  In this episode, we pose the question to one another "do you wish I was a virgin when we met?" We also use this topic to discuss the lack of proper sex education in schools and a myriad of other sub-topics within this prompt.  Go ahead and clutch your pearls because we're diving deep.

EP034 - Has COVID-19 affected our marriage? \\ StumbleWell Podcast

As the pandemic continues, a lot of you have reached out to us asking how we're doing-especially since Mr. Hallease is a registered nurse.  The short answer is, we're figuring it out. The long answer is this podcast episode. In it, we talk about some of the unexpected realizations we've both had during this time.

To be honest, we were hesitant to do this episode because everyone is experiencing this pandemic differently. Some of us, are really struggling right now. Maybe you've lost a loved one to the virus (or a few loved ones) or you've been laid off from work and are struggling to make ends meet. Parents have it hard right now with childcare -- as if it wasn't already difficult! Wherever you are on the spectrum of this, we hope and pray that you're able to see the other side of this crisis. Also, everybody please wear a mask. It's a small ask to save lives.

EP033 - Our journey to understanding race as a couple and how we cope together

EP033 - Our journey to understanding race as a couple and how we cope together

There's a lot going on in the world right now. Issa whole lot. We decided to have a candid conversation about our journey as a couple in understanding race and privilege.  We really wanted to show that these conversations will inevitably be messy, hard, and uncomfortable -- even when they're rooted in love and a willingness to understand.  Also, there is an evolution to understanding and unlearning institutions, and it doesn't happen quickly.  Mr. Hallease explains what it was like for him to experience that and how he approaches allyship.

All that to say, this episode is a little bit longer than our usual podcast topics, partly because we go off script (sorry) but also because while editing it I wanted to include the awkward pauses, the moments of backtracking, the difficulty of communicating effectively. So that when you find yourself in an awkward but necessary conversation you can know that this is what it is. You're not necessarily doing it wrong. It's just hard.

EP032 - We almost didn't make it last year || Going to couples therapy

In this episode of the #StumbleWellPodcast, we're talking about our different perspectives of 2019.  We almost didn't make it last year, and not necessarily because either of us did anything epic or hurtful but because we were mostly just tired. Ultimately, we figured it out but the hardest part was finding a therapist and remembering to communicate from a place of love and patience.

In this episode of the #StumbleWell podcast, we're talking about everything we learned from buying our first house including inspections, mortgages, realtors, motivations for buying a home, and many other things. Buying a house is a big decision, and for many, is the most expensive thing you'll ever purchase. Hopefully, we can provide you with a few tangible takeaways to consider before or while purchasing your first home and help you avoid some of our biggest mistakes.  We're rooting for you!

EP027 - So, you married a "creative"...

In this episode of the podcast, Mr. Hallease and I talk about our marriage and being married to a "creative" or artist.  This episode is a collaboration with #HMAY a marriage podcast featuring Beleaf in Fatherhood and  Yvette - Mrs. Melanin. There are a lot of things you have to learn to handle, not only as the artist but as that artist's spouse especially if you are interested in partnering with them to grow their business.

Should you move for your partner?

Should you move for your partner?

If you're in or have been in a long-distance relationship, knowing when to take that leap and move is difficult.  It's also hard when you both live in the same city but one partner is considering relocating for work or better opportunities. In this episode, we discuss the times we've relocated for each other and how we stumbled through it. #MarriedPodcast

Do you Sabbath or nah?

Do you Sabbath or nah?

Whew, y'all this is a silly episode of #TheBeastCast.  We're talking about keeping a Sabbath and how we balance work with life.  As a creative, I'm slowly realizing how important it is to build stipulations and ground rules for myself in terms of taking breaks and recharging.  Needless to say, Mr. Hallease's coffee didn't kick in until about halfway through the episode though so bear with us on this one.

We're back with more Beast Cast episodes! Today we're talking about getting a Sleep Divorce and if it makes sense to not sleep in the same bed as your partner. Also, what types of relationships maybe work best by not sleeping in the same room/bed.  This whole topic was sparked because we recently bought a new mattress.

"Take back your voice" Communication is our 2019 theme | The Beast Cast 20

This year on #TheBeastCast we're focusing on communication.  We want to make sure we're communicating more in our marriage but also in our work relationships -- whether that be with different clients, bosses, or coworkers.  This means focusing on the words we use and not making assumptions about others. It's a simple topic but as you'll see in this episode -- a very poignant one.
