Today we sat down with social media sensation and our friend, Daryl-Ann Denner and her husband, Daniel, to talk about what’s been happening in their lives. Daryl-Ann is currently pregnant with baby #3 and we loved hearing about what’s been working for their relationship and what they’ve been struggling with. We touched on everything from wanting a large family and adoption to learning when to say no and how to prioritize your marriage. We love the direction this conversation went and we always love when we can have honest and vulnerable conversations with our guests. We’re grateful to have friends in similar seasons of life as us because let’s be honest, the struggle is real with toddlers and some days your marriage unintentionally takes a back seat.

We hope you enjoy this interview with this incredibly talented couple and be sure to check out their latest song, “Rainbow.” Link below! Love you guys! Shawn and Andrew Check out their song RAINBOW 🌈 https://ffm.to/alexanderjean_rainbow "We lost a baby last year, just when we thought we were in a good place to tell friends + family we received the heavy news that our little one wasn’t going to make it, we’ve both been through hard things in our lives but this was a different kind of sadness, this song is for anyone that has experienced loss in any form, We hope it brings the listener some kind of peace & reminds them that a rainbow isn’t far behind." Check out their song SO SMALL: https://ffm.to/alexanderjean_sosmall "This song is a musical diary of the beautiful chaos and transformative journey of becoming a parent. It all started with a guitar riff and concept we were saving for when we had a baby of our own. Once we got the good news that we were expecting, we were able to tap into our raw emotions that this next chapter of life brings, painting an intimate portrait of this new overwhelming love for our tiny human we have yet to meet. This lullaby is for anyone who is a parent or expecting to be.

Today in episode 10 of Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew, we sit down with our good friends Madilyn Bailey & Jimmy Benrud. This was a fun one guys. We've known both Jimmy & Madilyn for over 3 years now, and it was such a pleasure to catch up with them. Madilyn Bailey is a pop singer and songwriter originally from a small Wisconsin town, now residing in Los Angeles. Over the last ten years, Madilyn has worked hard to foster a community of nearly 10 M fans (6.5M on YouTube alone) of her and her powerful voice. We talk about advice they received from a couple in a nursing home, how Madilyn gets to be creative for 8 hours a day, and how Jimmy manages all of the behind the scenes of her business - all while still maintaining a successful relationship. We both learned a lot from them and can't wait to see where they go from here. Tune in for an exciting one, Jimmy & Madilyn.   You'll hear us tease it in the episode, but Madilyn has a song coming out soon, Wisconsin, so stay tuned for more details on that! We can't wait for you guys to hear just how amazing this song is. If you want to follow Madilyn & Jimmy, they can be found on instagram as @madilynbailey and on YouTube as  @Madilyn!  If you haven't yet, please rate and subscribe to the show to hear more!

Today in episode 9 of Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew, we sit down to talk about the exes in our life and how they’ve shaped us into the people we are today. This was a tricky one, we aren’t gonna lie. Sitting down and talking about previous failed relationships is never easy, but as you’ll hear, we both think it’s important to revisit these moments instead of erasing them. And in the end, we’re incredibly thankful for the lessons we learned prior to meeting each other. We encourage you to listen closely on this one. Let us know what you think.  And of course, a huge thanks to Lauren for submitting the topic!  If you haven't yet, please rate and subscribe to the show to hear more!
