Growth Minded Marriage
Mary and Kevin are an ordinary Midwest couple with three kids (7, 6 and 3) living our dream life. Join us, every Monday, as we share our weekly life review in an effort to share and examine our most authentic selves. Through this review, we hope you will hear the good, the bad and the ugly moments of self-discovery on our growth journey. Listen while we succeed and fail, rest and motivate, think and rethink. We hope this podcast is a living example of what self-actualization looks like in the everyday. Above all, we hope to grow together. Welcome to the Growth Minded Marriage.
