Your brain is constantly filtering what you notice - and that filter might be sabotaging your relationship. Julie and David Bulitt explore the Reticular Activating System (RAS), a neuroscience concept that explains why you might only see the negative in your partner when you're disconnected, how it blinds you to red flags when you're newly in love, and most importantly, how to retrain your brain to notice the positive. They discuss the 5:1 ratio, the danger of affairs and disconnection, and practical tools like gratitude journaling and assuming good intentions to shift your RAS into positive territory. If you've ever wondered why your perception of your partner can change so dramatically, this episode has the answers.

Money is one of the biggest sources of conflict in marriage — but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Julie and David sit down with Rachel Cruze, two-time #1 national bestselling author, financial expert, and host of The Rachel Cruze Show, for an honest and insightful conversation about how money habits, money personalities, and money histories shape our most intimate relationships.

Rachel shares how growing up as Dave Ramsey's daughter — born just months before her parents filed bankruptcy — shaped her life's mission of helping people win with money before they hit rock bottom. Together, Julie, David, and Rachel dig into the real reasons couples fight about money, and what to do about it.

In this episode:

• The two most common money conflicts couples face — and how to navigate them
• Spenders vs. savers: how opposites can actually make each other stronger
• Why your "money story" from childhood may be running your finances today
• The shame and guilt cycle around money — and how to break it
• Why combining finances in marriage isn't about control, it's about intimacy
• The debt snowball method and zero-based budgeting explained
• Why both spouses need a seat at the financial table
• How tackling hard money conversations can actually deepen your relationship
• Julie and David's own debt story — and how Dave Ramsey's work changed their marriage
• Rachel's husband Winston, and how a spender married a saver (and made it work)
• Raising kids with a healthy money mindset in the age of Amazon and Apple Pay

Whether you're just starting out, merging finances later in life, or trying to get on the same page after years of conflict — this episode is packed with practical wisdom and real talk.

What does building a business have in common with building a relationship? More than you'd think.
Carla Biesinger is a business mentor and Instagram marketing expert who helps women create profitable online businesses — and she's coached over 10,000 clients worldwide to do it. Based in Lisbon, Portugal, Carla's journey started in Buenos Aires, where she co-built the city's #1 restaurant on TripAdvisor with her then-boyfriend — only to walk away with $12,000 after five years of work. That moment became her turning point: she would never be financially dependent again.
Today, Carla teaches women how to grow on Instagram, build an email list, and sell without feeling pushy — so they can create real income on their own terms.
Julie and David Bulitt talk with Carla about what it takes to rebuild after a relationship and a business fall apart at the same time, why financial independence matters in relationships, and how the same intentionality required to grow a business is the same intentionality every couple needs.
What You'll Learn:

How to grow on Instagram without a big following
Instagram Stories vs. feed posts — what actually drives sales
Building an email list that converts
How to sell authentically if you hate selling
Why financial independence strengthens relationships
The confidence gap holding women back from entrepreneurship

Julie and David Bulitt never expected a simple shower video to rack up over 20 million views — but it did, and the comments it unleashed revealed something far more profound than they anticipated. In this solo episode, Julie and David break down the three major waves of reaction to their viral Instagram and TikTok reel: the critics who found it uncomfortable, the couples who were inspired and saw themselves in it, and — most strikingly — the flood of men quietly confessing they've given up on intimacy in their marriages. Julie and David get personal about what it means to feel unseen in a long-term relationship, why staying intentional about attraction and appreciation matters at every age, and why one anonymous comment from a man in a sexless marriage stopped them both in their tracks.

Rob Scheer, founder of Comfort Cases and author of A Forever Family: Fostering Change One Child at a Time, joins Julie and David to share his deeply personal journey — from growing up in the foster care system himself, to adopting four children and witnessing firsthand that nothing had changed. When his kids arrived carrying trash bags, Rob didn't just feel the pain — he built a movement. In thirteen years, Comfort Cases has delivered over 300,000 backpacks filled with essential, dignity-restoring items to foster children across all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. Rob shares what goes into every case (and why every detail matters), how he built a national organization powered by everyday people, and why he believes our legacy is defined by what we give — not what we take.
