Permission with Jamie Scrimgeour

You leave your partner a list before a trip, and suddenly the internet thinks you're controlling, he's incapable, and your marriage is in trouble.
Last week I posted about leaving my husband a list before I travel. The comments got wild. "Your list is an act of control." "You should have married a grown man." So I'm bringing back one of our most loved episodes, where Darren and I talk about how we actually run our marriage, and why we don't do 50/50.
This one's from the archives, recorded after my 40th birthday trip, back when the show had its old name. It fits perfectly here, especially since we're about to head off on that trip again.
In this episode:
Why 50/50 can quietly create resentment
What we do instead: clear roles, divide and conquer
Why you don't have two CEOs of a company
"Give me a wide berth this week" and how we handle busy seasons
Why my work takes a back seat to Darren's, and why I'm okay with that
How we handle money, and why the lower earner still needs to be protected
Why our yearly trip is a planning session, not just a vacation
The day a lawyer's letter almost turned us against each other, and the decision we made after
The dishes. You'll know it when you hear it.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to marriage. This is just what works for us.

You're not naive. You can see exactly what's happening. You've read the books, done the therapy, maybe even named your attachment style. And you're still there.
Dr. Sarah Hensley literally studied the science of romantic relationships for a living. She still spent 10 years in a marriage full of addiction, infidelity and abuse, and even went back to him after the divorce. Today she's a relationship scientist with a seven-figure coaching practice and three million followers.
In this episode, Sarah breaks down why being smart doesn't protect you, how your childhood sets up the partners you choose, and the science-backed tools she used to finally get out and stay out.

You've seen Keltie Knight on the red carpet and heard her on LadyGang. But behind the career, the marriage and the life that looked so good from the outside, she was falling apart.
Keltie joins me to talk about her new book, The F*ck Them Theory, and what changed when she stopped trying to be everything to everyone.
We talk about:
Getting everything you thought you wanted and still feeling unhappy
Being done with people pleasing and always being the bigger person
Turning rejection into motivation
Wanting more money and refusing to apologize for it 
Being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and the grief of realizing how long you struggled
Going after what you want before you feel confident enough 
If you've ever swallowed what you wanted to say, worried about being "too much," or waited to feel ready, this one's for you.

If you've been around for a while, you've heard Krista Williams on the podcast before. But with the rebrand, I had to bring her back to talk about something she's been speaking about all around the world: pivoting and finding your voice.
Krista is the co-host of the Almost 30 podcast, a bestselling author, a speaker, a retreat host, and a really great human.
I could literally talk to her for hours.
In this episode, we talk about Krista's glow-up and what she had to let go of to fully make the change she wanted to make. How toxic relationships and friendships can hold us back. Her divorce, shedding a past layer of herself, and what it means to live consciously and invite the universe into your life as a co-creator.
We get into what it really means to live in alignment, how you don't need to blow up your life to change it, and what happened to me when I went to Krista's retreat in Chicago this year.
