When it comes to marriage, there are a lot of things that people don't talk about. In this interview, my husband and I open up about the things that have kept our marriage strong for years. The following are just a few things we discuss:

- Our marriage "rules"
- Introvert vs extrovert (how we've used our differences to compliment each other instead of pull us apart)
- How we've handled my public and busy work schedule and life.

If you're looking for some helpful advice, or just want to see a real couple's perspective on marriage, then listen to this week's episode of The Can Be Podcast.

It's easy to get lost in the mundane tasks of life and forget to be grateful for all we have. 

But you can find gratitude even in the most everyday moments of life. And yes, you can create boundaries and voice your desires without feeling guilty as you grow in self love and care. These are two reflections and lessons I've learned as I reflect back over this past year on my birthday episode of The Can Be Podcast.
