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
