Summary

What are you supposed to do when you and your significant other are on different pages when it comes to personal growth? How do you navigate this? How can you respectfully encourage and support one another on your own journeys to growth while remaining united as a team? Is it even possible? To find out, Jordan asked Matt to join in on this episode, and together, they interviewed Gerard and Jessie of the Marriage is Funny podcast to dive deep into this topic. In this episode of SHE, they two couples are serving up all sorts of relatable stories, helpful tools, and practical steps we can take toward growing together as couples -- even if we’re growing differently. Tune in to learn: What to consider when pursuing personal development while doing life with another person (who may or may not be on the same page as you) How to respect and work through your different approaches to growth without losing sight of your own goals Ideas to align your mental, emotional, spiritual, and lifestyle goals as a couple (ie. addressing overlap and potential opposition with respect) And why setting up some “family rules” can actually help support the relationship If you know that you and your S/O need to get on the same page, or at least find better ways to support one another in your individual journeys without growing apart as a couple, pour a glass and hit play. You won’t want to miss a second of this one! Learn more and follow Gerard and Jessie at meetthepeppers.com.

0:00.0	You're listening to She, with Jordan Lee Dooley, a personal development podcast for the
0:08.8	everyday woman. Come invited, leave ignited. Here's your host, Jordan Lee Dooley.
0:15.9	All right you guys, I am sitting here with my husband Matt and we have Gerard and Jesse
0:31.2	on. Hey guys, welcome to the show. Absolutely. We're thrilled to have you. This is a topic that
0:38.5	we're looking forward to getting to learn your perspective on and something that we've discussed
0:43.2	as well. So I think we're going to have a really good conversation here. But really what we're
0:48.5	going to dive into today is what to do when one partner values personal development and personal
0:53.6	disciplines on a different level than the other person and really how we navigate this. So maybe
0:59.5	the best place to start would just be to ask you your initial take on this. We're going to dive into

1:08.9	this is, what maybe some of your experience has been with this and we'll be happy to share a little
1:13.2	bit of ours as well. Yeah, sure. I can start because I would say it's very common in our household.
1:22.4	One of the things that's so interesting I think as we learn more and more about what it means to
1:27.5	pursue personal development as an individual is that as we also happen to be jargonized, married
1:34.8	people as well through each other obviously is never we're never going to be necessarily on the same
1:41.5	path at the same time or we're never going to probably prioritize it exactly the same at the same
1:47.7	time. Certainly there have been experiences where maybe there is some overlap in terms of the
1:55.0	things that we individually prioritize or value, but I will just also mention that after
2:02.0	so wait a minute he's going to get mad at me if I round up like I normally do. It's been very
2:05.7	almost 13 years and I would say for the majority of the time we're looking at each other understanding
2:15.2	that the other person is never going to be in exactly the same place that we are at the same time.
2:20.2	And that's one of the things I think we've learned throughout the last five years of our podcast is
