The Andrew and Kelly Show

Recording this episode from Nicaragua 🇳🇮 The world feels heavy right now… war headlines, rising gas prices, hantavirus, ticks, flight issues, fear everywhere you look on the news. But this episode is about not living in fear. We talk about why we chose to pack up, take our 4 kids, and head out on a long adventure through Central America and across America instead of waiting for the “right time.” L...

Not gonna lie… we almost didn’t record this one. We’re leaving for a months-long trip in just a couple days and the stress is REAL right now. So much to do, so much to pack, kids everywhere, emotions high, and honestly… we just felt unmotivated. But we talked about how everybody feels like that sometimes. The people who keep growing aren’t the people who always feel inspired — they’re the people w...

There’s no neutral ground in parenting today. Your kids are constantly being influenced—by friends, screens, and culture. In this episode, we break down what it actually means to “shape your children” and how small, everyday choices at home make the biggest difference.

Are we actually setting our kids up for success… or falling short? In this episode, we get honest about the doubts that come with parenting and homeschooling—questioning grade levels, feeling like our kids might be behind, and comparing ourselves to families with more resources and traditional education paths. We talk about the pressure to “keep up,” the fear of not doing enough, and the internal...

This one’s about that uncomfortable middle space—when you feel stuck, but you know you’re growing. We talk about learning boundaries the hard way, not getting too high or too low, and how past experiences have shaped how we move through life now. Plus, we share what’s ahead for us and how we’re trying to stay grounded while still chasing more.

Episode 13 Marriage isn’t always the highlight reel you see online. In this episode, we get real about what it actually looks like behind the scenes— the fights, the miscommunication, the moments where we’ve both felt like giving up… and the effort it takes to keep choosing each other anyway. We talk about: The difference between love and respect How men and women experience conflict differently W...

In this episode, I sit down with Kelly and ask the questions most people don’t—about mindset, life choices, and why she refuses to follow the “normal” path. We talk about rejecting the American rat race, building an entrepreneur mindset, homeschooling our kids, and what it really looks like to go against the grain. Kelly shares what shaped the way she thinks, what keeps her pushing forward, and wh...

We’ve always said we don’t want this podcast to be about politics or current events. But with everything happening in the world right now… it didn’t feel right to ignore it completely. In this episode, we talk about the tension of staying informed without becoming consumed—and why we believe the most important thing we can focus on isn’t out there… it’s inside our homes. Our goal has always been t...

In this episode we talk about what it was really like growing up white in Hawaii , where the cultural and demographic reality is very different from the mainland United States. Both of us grew up here as light-skinned kids in a place where we were often the minority. That experience shaped how we understood race, identity, local culture, and belonging . We discuss:• What it felt like navigating sc...

In this episode, we sit down with our first podcast guest, our friend  Victory , who shares her firsthand experience surviving the Maui fires in  Lahaina . Victory takes us through the moments leading up to the disaster — from waking up to unusually strong winds, to the confusion, chaos, and life-changing decisions people had to make as the fires spread. She also talks about the emotional toll of...

In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about something most of us don’t want to admit — our addiction to our phones. The average American spends over 7 hours a day on screens, and nearly 50% of teens say they feel addicted to their phones. Even more alarming, studies show kids as young as 8–12 are spending 4–6 hours per day on devices. Meanwhile, we say we don’t have enough time. Wha...

In Episode 7, we talk about getting older and what it really takes to care for our bodies. After Andrew received high cholesterol and blood pressure results, it became a wake-up call he couldn’t ignore. We share how that moment shifted his mindset—from feeling “fine” to taking his health seriously—and the small, sustainable changes he’s making to protect his long-term health.

In this episode, we share our sobriety journey and reflect on five years of living completely drug and alcohol-free. While we never hit rock bottom, choosing sobriety has been one of the most meaningful decisions of our lives. We talk about clarity, growth, and how this choice has shaped our marriage, family, and the way we show up every day. If you’ve ever been sober-curious or questioned your re...

In this episode, we talk openly about mental health and our lived experience with bipolar. This isn’t a clinical conversation or a highlight reel — it’s real life. We share what it’s been like navigating diagnosis, day-to-day challenges, misunderstandings, growth, and the impact bipolar has had on our marriage, family, and faith. Our hope is to bring more understanding, reduce stigma, and remind a...

In this episode, we talk through the real hurt we’ve walked through over the last 18 months — how hurt people hurt people, why forgiveness matters, and why boundaries are necessary. We also dive into how we’re raising strong humans: not rescuing, not hovering, but walking with our kids through hard things. And yes… teenage feelings and dating 😅 What even is that?! Raw, honest, and very much a rea...

We’re talking  real travel hacks —not the luxury, influencer kind, but the  “if there’s a will, there’s a way”  kind. Andrew and Kelly didn’t grow up with money, privilege, or perfect education. What we  did  have was curiosity, grit, and a belief that life could be bigger than what we were handed. In this episode, we share: How we made travel happen on a normal income The mindset shift that chang...

Traveling as a family isn’t about checking places off a list. It’s about togetherness , growth , and shared experiences . Travel pushes us out of our comfort zones, opens our minds, educates our kids beyond textbooks, and brings us closer in ways routine never could. It challenges us, humbles us, and ultimately unifies us . In Episode 2, we share why family travel is a core value for us and how it...

So… why a podcast now? In this first episode, we introduce ourselves, share what sparked this idea, and talk about what you can expect moving forward.
