Misty and her husband Craig get honest about how they communicate differently — and the daily choice to assume the best instead of the worst.

🎙️Misty's husband Craig is back at the mic — and this time, he's not just a guest. He's the launch point for something new: over the next several weeks, Misty is re-releasing some of the most-loved conversations from Mom2Mom Mentoring, and this honest, unscripted talk about communication is where it all begins.

Craig and Misty get real about the small stuff that becomes big stuff:

💡 a light left on downstairs, 💡 an assumption made out of exhaustion, 💡 and the slow work of catching yourself before the story in your head becomes the story you believe. Misty even shares the (very relatable, slightly embarrassing) bidet story: a desire she sat on for months because she'd already decided, in her own mind, what Craig would say.

🪏 They dig into the real difference between a verbal processor and an internal processor — what it feels like on both sides, why interrupting isn't always about disrespect, and how Craig went from "performance listening" to actually listening to 💖 Misty's heart, not just her words.

Craig and Misty want to be honest with you: they're not counselors, and after six years of marriage, they're still learning what real connection looks like — for themselves and for each other.

That's exactly why this conversation matters, no matter how long you've been married. There's always room to grow in the way you communicate — and always room to shine a little brighter in how you love the people closest to you.
