341: Staying Connected When Life Gets Stressful

We all hit seasons where life feels too big to carry—and often, our relationships take the hit. Stress doesn't just affect our schedules; it hijacks our emotions, shrinks our capacity, and makes the people we love feel like the problem instead of the support.

In this episode, Justin and Abi get personal about what stress has looked like in their relationship—from the chaos of remodeling their house to raising a new puppy. They share how stress brought out their worst patterns, triggered old wounds, and tested their ability to stay connected. Through real-life stories, they explore the impact of nervous system overwhelm and the small (but powerful) tools that helped them repair—again and again.

If you've ever found yourself more reactive, more distant, or more overwhelmed than you want to be—or if you're walking through a hard season and trying to stay connected—this episode is for you. You'll walk away with language for what's happening, practical steps for navigating stress together, and a reminder that hard seasons don't have to break you—they can make you stronger.
