Episode 029

Year two in review: from Boston to Alabama and everything in between

Coffee Date w/ Me and the Mrs.


Welcome to EP 029 of the CVD podcast and the second ever Coffee Date podcast between me and my wife, Shelby 💛

We celebrated our two year wedding anniversary on April 3, 2023 and recorded this episode a few days later to review our second year of marriage. Spoiler alert... there have been MANY changes!

*Note: we released our first EVER coffee date episode last week and that one covers our first year of marriage. If you haven't listened to it yet, feel free to jump to that one to listen to them in order... or listen to this one first, whatever works for you! 🙂 Oh, and we love to hear from you, so DM me or Shelby after you listen to this episode to let us know what was most helpful or what you want to hear more of.

In this Coffee Date podcast about our second year of marriage, we talk about: 

  • Our mental and emotional state in 2022 while living in Boston due to:

    • An active shooter at the apartment complex Shelb worked at

    • The toxic work environment Shelb was a part of

    • Me feeling isolated and lonely while working from home

    • Our tight financial situation

  • Why we canceled our lease in Boston and spent $10k to move to Alabama

    • How paying so much to do things we didn't love became too much

    • The opportunity we had to move into a family home

    • Why we thought depleting our savings and racking up our credit cards was still worth it

  • All the changes that came with such a big move

    • Adjusting from Boston to a small (very religious) town in Alabama

    • Why we only spent 40 days at home together out of the last 5 months in 2022

    • The discussions and arguments we had about finances and unpacking

  • Why we're SO thrilled with only $1300 in the bank and $10k in credit card debt

    • Why we know we're on the right path

    • The momentum we've built in 2023 and how we've done that

    • The power of changing our mindsets and reframing our reality
