Summary
In this special Valentine’s Day episode, I sit down with my husband, Vic. Together, we reflect on the beauty of second chances, the hard seasons that shaped us, and why Valentine’s Day can be both a joyful celebration and a difficult reminder for so many.
We talk about the myths surrounding romance, the pressure society places on this holiday, and how love is so much bigger than chocolates, flowers, or date nights. With humor, tenderness, faith, and real-life perspective, Vic and I share the lessons we’ve learned through heartbreak, healing, and God’s perfect timing.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why Valentine’s Day can feel painful or complicated for many
- How to reframe the holiday around giving, gratitude, and love beyond romance
- The power of second chances and God’s timing in relationships
- Why the only thing worse than being alone is being with the wrong person
- The importance of honesty, growth, and letting go of perfection
- What we’ve learned from past mistakes, loss, and uncomfortable “yeses”
- How faith became the foundation of our marriage
- Why every day can be an opportunity to love someone well

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:13.8 | Welcome to today's over 50 and flourishing. |
| 0:16.6 | Welcome, welcome to today's over 50 and flourishing. |
| 0:20.0 | That's by popular demand. |
| 0:22.6 | Clearly. You really do have quite the following. I have to tell you. It's not like I'm running out of ideas. And I'm like, honey, come join me on the podcast. |
| 0:30.9 | You ladies are so kind. Thank you. Thank you for your kindness. She's a rock star. You know it. I know it. So it's just a privilege to join you |
| 0:38.6 | always. And thank you for your welcoming of my involvement in this. They love you. They love you |
| 0:44.2 | on the podcast. They love you on the YouTube vlogs and anything that we do together. And I think |
| 0:49.2 | the one comment we get, and let me first kind of explain. I'm sure you're like, wait, why aren't you |
| 0:54.7 | at home and what's going on? We're in Houston. We've been staying with Courtney the past couple of |
| 1:00.0 | days. And we've had, there have been some really exciting, wonderful, magical work projects that |
| 1:05.1 | are coming down the pipeline. And we will be sharing that with you guys really, really soon on |
| 1:10.6 | the YouTube channel, |
| 1:11.8 | but we're here kind of checking some boxes and getting work done. And we wanted to record our |
| 1:17.2 | Valentine episode because it's always easier and frankly more enjoyable to do it in person. And we |
| 1:23.7 | need Courtney's help kind of producing and your help setting up the lights. |
| 1:27.6 | You know, it takes a village getting all of this stuff to happen. |
| 1:30.4 | So we figured while we were here at her place, we would talk about Valentine's Day, a very |
| 1:35.5 | significant and special day. |
| 1:38.0 | And I think maybe also a day of struggle for a lot of people because it doesn't always reflect |
| 1:43.6 | what, let's say, the media has put |
| 1:46.5 | out and how it's been hype and marketed through the years of just this, you know, sweetheart |
