Season 2 - Episode 1: Hindsight and Highlights

Description:

Welcome back to Limitless Livin’! Season 2 starts with a real, reflective conversation about looking back at 2025 with gratitude and walking into 2026 with intention. Garrett and Jackie revisit the moments that brought the most joy, the growth they saw in themselves, and the mindset shifts that helped their marriage stay strong. From Disney Paris highs to everyday presence at home, this episode is all about noticing what mattered, keeping what worked, and building on what is still in progress.

They also get honest about two areas many couples silently struggle with, money and intimacy, not from a place of crisis, but from a desire to keep strengthening their foundation. It’s a reminder that growth does not always come from big problems, it often comes from finally having the conversations you keep postponing.

Description:

To close out their first full year, Garrett and Jackie keep it fun and real with a rapid-fire “what would you do?” holiday scenario game.

• Big purchases without a heads-up: respect vs. “permission,” shared goals, and when grace beats a lecture

Closing: This holiday episode is a reminder that marriage is full of scenarios you can’t always predict—but you can prepare your mindset, your boundaries, and your communication.

Episode 11: Nothing Else Matters

Description:

In this Thanksgiving episode, we strip life all the way down to what actually counts. Not titles, not likes, not promotions—but God, family, health, time, and purpose. We talk about redefining success beyond career wins, letting go of people-pleasing and social media approval, grieving what’s changed, and learning to be fully present with the people you love. From deathbed perspectives to daily habits like prayer, Sabbath rest, and tech boundaries, this conversation is all about what you can’t buy, and can’t replace.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

Why promotions, titles, and missed opportunities no longer define “success”

Redefining success as being who you were created to be—not what you achieve

How chasing approval and likes robs you of peace and identity

Grief around lost parents, changing family traditions, and empty seats at the table

Why “more” is never enough if you don’t know who you are

Presence over productivity: choosing people over lists, plans, and schedules

Daily habits that keep you grounded: prayer, Scripture, nightly check-ins, shared apps

Setting boundaries with phones so your bedroom, dates, and dinners stay sacred

Serving quietly: giving and showing up for people

Dreams that still matter

Traditions that keep love alive

From gratitude and grief to rest and routines, this episode recenters your heart on the things nothing and no one can take from you.

Episode 10: The Final Say

Description: Who gets the last word and how do you keep that from becoming “my way or the highway”? In this candid episode, we unpack what “final say” really means in a healthy marriage: collaborative by default, decisive when needed, and rooted in trust, transparency, and prayer. From dinner debates to big-ticket choices (cars, kids, money, travel), we share how we moved from pride and power struggles to unity, clarity, and peace without silencing either voice.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Why “final say” is a tie-breaker, not a takeover
• Collaboration first: hearing each other before calling the shot
• Early-marriage pride vs. mature communication (how we grew)
• Head of household as responsibility, not dictatorship (51/49 beats 50/50 stalemates)
• Keeping “final say” from becoming “my way” with reasons, respect, and receipts
• Real-life moments: minivan practicality, discipline impasses, gift boundaries with adult kids
• Decision-making when one spouse is away: capability, trust, and timing
• Mutual submission redefined: voluntary, two-way, for the family’s good
• Letting go of control and celebrating the other person’s wins
• Praying through big calls and carrying outcomes with humility

From friction to flow, this episode is a blueprint for making decisions together—swiftly, fairly, and with love.

Episode 9: ME TIME (Apart-ners)

Description: Jackie and Garrett get real about the power of healthy space in relationships—how “me time” protects “we time,” why separation became a classroom (not a finish line), and how two whole people make a stronger marriage. From early-marriage insecurities to learning balance, they share practical rhythms, a few laughs (hello, ER pinched-nerve story 👀), and a hopeful roadmap for couples and singles alike.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Me Time vs. We Time: Why personal space strengthens connection—and how to spot the difference between healthy solitude and withdrawal.
• From Insecure to Secure: Jealousy, “pop-ins,” and learning emotional independence over 25 years.
• Separation as a Teacher: Don’t take distance as a sign to leave—take it as a sign to learn.
• Priorities in the Home: Spouse first, then kids—so the team that parents stays strong.
• Balance & Boundaries: Standing date nights (don’t book over Wednesday!), calendar commitments, and saying no to over-serving everyone else.
• Grief, Funks, and Resetting: Solo drives, quiet errands, and letting time + small joys help you recalibrate.
• Growth Without Guilt: Championing your spouse’s pursuits (music, school, photography) without taking their growth personally.
• The “Top 10 Joys” Exercise: List 10 things that refill you; use them when you’re in a funk (alone or together).
• Listen More, Talk Less: Garrett’s current stretch goal—making space so others can open up.
• Two Wholes, One Union: Mint-Oreo-Blizzard analogy—be whole alone, be better together.

Try This (Listener Challenges):

• Each of you make a “Top 10 Joys” list; schedule at least one this week.

Episode 7: Lie of Omission??

Description: Welcome back to Limitless Livin’! In this episode, we dive into one of the most controversial and emotionally charged topics in relationships: Is withholding the truth the same as lying? When something from the past resurfaces—a workplace incident that went unspoken for years—it sparks a fiery debate between us about honesty, trust, communication, and protection. Is it still a lie if it was never said? Or does love require full disclosure no matter how small the detail?

From past pain and body image to silence, shutdowns, and trust issues, we get real about what made us insecure and how we’ve learned to overcome it.
