Hey guys, welcome to the Encounter Now podcast. I'm Chelsea and I'm here with my husband Nick.

So we're going to have a little talk about how our week has been so far and also see if you guys can kind of see yourselves in this situation and maybe we can have an honest conversation within comments, however you guys want to give us feedback about just difficulties in like our

week and just making it through the everyday, whether it looks like a great day one day,

a terrible one the next. So we hope you enjoy this episode and let's get into it.

We just want to be as transparent as we can be while keeping our lives a little private because we believe that that is safe.

And we just want to be a place where you guys can feel

comfortable to say, hey, like, that's me too. And although they might have a presence online,

they're still real. And they go through things in their marriage. You go through things in

their family relationships.

And I know a lot of people like to harp on real, honest, and vulnerable.

But really, we're going to let you guys in into how we've been.

And also, like, I think it's almost therapeutic for Nick and I to sit across the table and actually talk about these things.

The conversations that we have usually

allow us to have deep conversations that normally just don't get brought up unless we, I'm trying

to describe myself right now, but really words aren't coming to my mind. Can you kind of fill in?

Yeah. I think it can just be real short and sweet

and saying that it's been a hard week and we just want to tell some people and encourage some people

if you've had a hard week too, we're right there with you, whether it's with a spouse or a dating

relationship or a friendship or maybe nothing to do with

a friendship or any of that. Maybe you've just had a rough week or gotten some rough news.

We just want to be real people to you like Chelsea said and just kind of let you in on how we've

been and what's been up with us and maybe like why things have been so
