This episode is about a quiet trip that looked ordinary from the outside and changed everything on the inside. After months of travel, family chaos, spiritual questioning, and emotional buildup, a simple reconnection trip to Florida became the pause that revealed what could no longer be ignored. This is not a story about psychedelics or spectacle, it’s about listening when life repeats the same message through different voices, about loving someone without controlling their healing, and about the moment before a line is crossed that changes you forever. Some journeys end with photos, others end with questions, and this one set the stage for everything that followed.

We’re Mark and Tonya, high school sweethearts married for 30 years. After decades of trying to fit into roles that weren't ours, we finally dropped the masks and started telling the truth about marriage, intimacy, shame, healing, and what it actually takes to stay connected for life. Our goal is simple, to help couples build relationships that feel alive again.

Nothing went wrong on this trip.
No betrayal. No broken rules. No regrets.
But we still came home feeling rejected, and that surprised us more than anything else.

In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to intentionally step into vulnerability, only to feel unseen and undesired in ways we didn’t expect. We unpack the quiet kind of rejection that doesn’t come with conflict or failure, the kind that simply makes you question your worth, your energy, and how you’re showing up in the world.

This isn’t a story about sex or scandal. It’s a conversation about attraction versus energy, confidence versus connection, and why doing everything “right” doesn’t guarantee the outcome you imagined. Most importantly, we share how this experience didn’t damage our marriage, but instead held up a mirror that helped us understand ourselves more deeply.

If you’ve ever done the work, taken the risk, opened yourself up, and still felt overlooked, this episode is for you.

This is part two of our We Spent $200,000 Finding Ourselves series, and this chapter challenged us in ways we didn’t expect. In

Every marriage has a turning point.

Ours didn’t happen in a single moment, it happened over years.

In this episode, we take you back to the quiet unraveling and rebuilding of our marriage, leaving the church, losing certainty, struggling with depression, body shame, identity, and slowly learning how to see each other again without roles, rules, or expectations.

This is the story of how stripping away belief systems, shame, and false versions of ourselves brought us closer than we had ever been. It’s not about perfection or a dramatic breakthrough, it’s about the long, uncomfortable process of becoming real, together.

This episode sets the foundation for everything that comes next. Especially the moment when nothing went wrong, but everything still hurt.
