Angie and Wallo Get REAL About Marriage! 😮 | Root and Rhythm Podcast

Love Is a Choice: 15 Years of Marriage, Family & Sacrifice | Roots & Rhythm S2E18 What does it really take to build a lasting marriage while raising children, pursuing dreams, and navigating everything life throws your way? This week on Roots & Rhythm, we're doing something a little different! Angie is joined by a very special guest: her husband, Wallace Thomas, affectionately known as Wallow! Meanwhile, Vlad steps away from the microphone and takes over behind the scenes as producer and sound engineer. Together for 19 years and approaching 15 years of marriage, Angie and Wallace pull back the curtain on their relationship, sharing the lessons, sacrifices, laughter, and growing pains that have shaped their lives together. As a professional touring vocalist with Boston-based a cappella group Ball in the House, Wallace performs approximately 200 shows annually, often spending weeks away from home. Meanwhile, Angie balances her own career, raising their two daughters, and keeping their household running. But what happens when your dreams, responsibilities, and family needs compete for your attention? In this candid and heartfelt conversation, Angie and Wallace explore: Why love is a daily choice, not just a feeling. Learning to love your partner the way they need to be loved. The sacrifices of raising a family while pursuing a career in entertainment. Communication, emotional maturity, and unspoken expectations. Navigating finances and making major decisions together. Raising daughters who understand healthy love and boundaries. Balancing individual dreams with family responsibilities. Why friendship, trust, and laughter are essential to a lasting marriage. From hilarious parenting stories to vulnerable conversations about sacrifice, personal growth, and the realities of long-term commitment, this episode reminds us that lasting love isn't about finding a perfect partner. It's about two people continuing to choose each other while growing together. Because love isn't simply something you feel. It's something you do. 🎶 SPECIAL MUSIC FEATURE: BALL IN THE HOUSE We're excited to feature *"Knock, Knock!" by Ball in the House* at the end of this episode!
