This week we're getting real and personal! We're sharing some of our own health journeys, what's going on with family plans, and how we're navigating the beautiful (and sometimes chaotic) balance of fitness and family life. With Mother's Day just around the corner, it felt like the perfect time to have these conversations.
Kiki also sits down to answer a listener voicemail from a fan who's thinking about becoming a stay-at-home mom. Kiki opens up about her own experience — what it's really like, the good, the hard, and whether it's caused any tension in her marriage. If you're weighing that decision for yourself, you don't want to miss this one.
In this episode:
• Personal health updates and what's been going on behind the scenes
• Family plans and what's on the horizon
• Balancing fitness, life, and motherhood
• Celebrating the mamas ahead of Mother's Day
• Kiki answers a fan voicemail: Is being a stay-at-home mom right for you? The honest truth about how it's impacted her life and marriage.

Episode 118
What does a divorce attorney who *loves* marriage actually know about keeping one together? A lot, it turns out.
This week, Uncle Dale and Kiki sit down with Nicole Sodoma — founder of Sodoma Law, national family law authority, and author of *Please Don't Say You're Sorry* — for one of the most honest, eye-opening, and surprisingly funny conversations we've ever had about marriage, divorce, and everything in between.
Nicole has seen thousands of marriages from the inside out. She's also lived it — as an ex-wife, a new wife, and a mom of three. And she's here to tell you: divorce doesn't have to be the end of the story. Neither does a struggling marriage.
Whether you're blissfully in love, quietly questioning things, or just nosy about what really happens behind a divorce attorney's closed doors — this episode is *for you.*
-----
In This Episode We Talk About
- What it means to be a “marriage-loving divorce attorney”
- The red flags Nicole sees in couples *before* they ever call a lawyer
- Why saying “I'm sorry” to someone going through divorce might be the wrong move
- Financial mistakes married women make that put them at a disadvantage
- What an empowered divorce actually looks like
- How Nicole balances being a mom, ex-wife, new wife, and founder of a 60+ person law firm
- The best marriage advice she's ever given — that had nothing to do with the law
-----

Paul takes us through his football journey from Houston roots to playing in the Arena Football League and his time around the NFL, sharing the highs, setbacks, and “what could've been” moments along the way. Kelly joins in with her perspective, balancing life alongside the game and her own path as host of The Kelly Williams Show on YourHomeTV.com.
We mix in real talk about chasing dreams, life after sports, marriage, and of course some laughs you'd expect from Uncle Dale & Kiki.
