The Sacred We

🌿 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗖𝗘𝗗𝗔𝗥 𝗢𝗡 I wanted to honor our son's gifts, energy, and beautiful essence. Cedar loves the stage, and I wanted to welcome him in. Not keep our work in one room and him outside it. This is us playing, having fun, and sharing life together. Our almost-five-year-old son joins me for his very first podcast. We dream about his tree house and his own podcast studio.

"I might get a lot of hate messages after this podcast, and it's okay." In this solo episode of The Sacred We, Mike records the one he waited years to make: a firm, loving call for men to stop hiding and grow up. Adopted twice in his first year, kicked out on graduation day, a marriage lost to pot, porn, doom scrolling and audiobooks, Mike shares how avoidance cost him the woman he loved and how a...

What if the ache you keep trying to quiet is the very thing that brings him back to you? In this solo episode, Courtney Wren shares why longing isn't something to fix, numb or fire at your partner.

Radha, the goddess of eternal longing, loses her beloved...

That one...

Most couples don’t fight about money. They avoid it until it leaks into resentment, sex, and every little decision. Jenn Pike and Chris Borsellino were in overdraft as a lifestyle — two kids, two businesses, ships passing — until they put every receipt in a basket and made money neutral. This is the conversation that shows how. In this episode of The Sacred We, Mike Elliott and Courtney Wren-Mabbu...
