My Heart Knows You’re Safe. My Body Doesn’t.

We opened it up and answered what came in. No guest, no plan, just the two of us. Alexa describes the year she spent in deep prayer over a marriage that felt far away, and how long it took before anything changed. Not three months. A year. Then she says something she and Carlos had never said out loud before: that after a fight, her heart knows he’s safe and her brain knows he’s safe, but her body puts a wall up anyway, and it has to learn to trust him again. If you have ever felt that and never had words for it, that part is for you. We get into why one of us needs to fix it tonight and the other needs to walk away first. We don’t agree about putting our kids online and we say so. We both say no to smartphones before 18 and we aren’t moving. Carlos talks about the role he turned down, and whether money changes a person or just shows you what was already there. At the end, the last question was the one we were asked to answer honestly: what’s an opinion that might lose you followers. Alexa takes it. She’s pro-life, and she’s specific about what she means by it, which is not just pro-birth. It’s pro-baby, pro-mama, and taking care of that mama after the baby comes. She also tells the story of a teenage girl who called her, and what happened after. Got a question? Leave it in the comments and we’ll pull from them next time.
