    The impact of empathy
    Jan 30 2026
    On this episode, Dalen clears the way for Kelsey to have her own therapy session after a great morning was derailed in a matter minutes. And, the E in TFEs should stand for empathy this week. Why did a sweet video make a baby cry? Would you hold hands with a stranger who had peed themselves? And what are you doing to make sure you’re a fountain, not a drain?

  • The Spoken Word & Raw Dogging Rides

    The Spoken Word & Raw Dogging Rides
    Jan 9 2026
    It's not what you think... or maybe it is. On this episode, Dalen and Kelsey deep dive into how powerful it can be to lose the screens and just listen to a voice- and this thought provoking moment all started with a children's Christmas gift. What happens when you focus in on a voice, when it's one you can't hear everyday, or one you won't hear again? Plus- is driving home in silence an insane move or a thought provoking slowdown. Some might say you're rawdogging the ride- they're not wrong. Before we go, let's celebrate an anniversary, offer some unsolicited advice, and relive Dalen's greatest (or worst) moment celebrating as a has been athlete and diehard Steelers fan.

    ** Listener Note ** some technical challenges to our sound at min 48, we will resolve for next week!

  • Holiday Highs and Lows

    Holiday Highs and Lows
    Dec 19 2025
    Dalen and Kelsey take a deep dive on the holidays. Their discussion of family traditions and the Magic of Christmas evolves into an emotional conversation of how holidays can be a milestone and reminder of things lost and gained, plans that worked out and dreams that haven’t been realized. Plus Dalen’s favorite Christmas Eve mass story is one you’ve got to hear, and why decorating a Christmas tree has so much more meaning when you do it with people you love.

  • Title: Making Space For What?

    Title: Making Space For What?
    Dec 11 2025
    Kelsey and Dalen try to answer the age old question: why are men so bad at being sick? That somehow evolves into a discussion about Notre Dame being left out the College Football Playoff (if you don’t know, don’t worry- you will). The focus of the big conversation though is what happens when you find yourself in the middle of somewhere you didn’t ask for or didn’t plan to be? How can you handle it when your plans don’t work out? The couple talks through what it means to believe God is making space for something better and the challenges for believers and nonbelievers, how to be self motivated and gain perspective through the hard. Also, a real conversation about the letdowns after pregnancy loss.
