Wife Approved Podcast

In this episode of the Wife Approved Podcast, Shane and Caroline talk about camera anxiety in YouTube videos, doing hard things (and when you’re just over it), the pressure of goals vs protecting your peace, and why January always seems to bring stress into their business and marriage.What starts with an awkward YouTube moment turns into a full-on conversation about burnout, running a business together, micromanaging accusations, and whether fewer goals might actually mean more happiness. Plus, a completely unexpected (and hilarious) detour into public displays of affection, people-watching, and what really gives you “the ick.”This one’s messy, honest, funny, and very real — just like marriage.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, questioned your goals, or wanted to call HR on your spouse… this episode is for you.💬 Submit questions or hot takes anonymously: https://shanewhatley.com/wife-approved-podcast/⭐ If you're enjoying the podcast, leave us a 5-star review – it helps us a lot!
