5. Courtship Rules and Our First Kiss (with Jesse Paine)

Published: Oct. 16, 2018, 7 a.m.

I loved your responses to\xa0last week\u2019s episode on hospitality! You all inspired me by how you shared various ways you are committing open up your home.

And some of you even told me you were going to get brave and join me in my commitment to open our home up every week! That just made me so happy\u2026 and so inspired to continue on opening up our doors.

Speaking of getting brave, I\u2019ll be honest and tell you that this episode is a little vulnerable for me to put out to the world. In fact, after we recorded it, I had to set aside my fears and insecurities of what you might think when you listen to this.

Like\xa0I told you in Episode 1, our love story is unconventional\u2026 and today\u2019s episode where Jesse and I share more of our story certainly proves that! (And it\u2019s okay if you think it all sounds weird or crazy after you listen!) But I hope it gives you more of a peek into our history and background\u2026 and might help you get to know us a little bit better!

In This Episode:

[01:02] \u2013 Want to know a secret? I was\xa0really\xa0scared of having older kids, especially teenagers. It hasn\u2019t been at all how I expected!

[03:56] \u2013 I\u2019ve fallen in love with the Libby app \u2014 and I\u2019m not even much of an app person! I tell you why I love it so much and how I use it (including my tip for listening to books a little faster!)

[07:32] \u2013\xa0Chasing Excellence\xa0by Ben Bergeron\xa0is a book I can\u2019t stop talking about. Even if you don\u2019t care a thing about CrossFit, you should read this book!

[10:12] \u2013 In\xa0the first episode of my podcast, my husband, Jesse, joined me as my guest. He\u2019s back today to share the story of our unconventional courtship and engagement!

[14:41] \u2013 Jesse and I discuss the rules our parents set for our courtship, the pros and cons of a long distance relationship, and how we wished we could have gotten married sooner.

[22:41] \u2013 We talk about how weird it was to not have a parent chaperone with us at all times after we got married.

[24:45] \u2013 Our first kiss was on our wedding day\u2026 but technically not really at our wedding ceremony. You\u2019ll have to listen in to hear the whole story!

[25:52] \u2013 I usually answer a question at the end of the podcast by myself, but today, I have Jesse help me answer a question about how we make our marriage a priority with our kids and businesses.
