Why problems in your marriage and parenting are part of the process—not the end of the story.Life doesn’t fall apart because of problems. It’s shaped by how we walk through them.In this episode, we sit down together after one of the most meaningful weekends of our lives—our daughter’s wedding. Moments like that remind us why we give our lives to relationships… and why it’s all worth it.But what happens when your family doesn’t feel like that? What happens when your marriage feels strained… your kids feel distant… or the mess feels overwhelming?We talk about the truth most people miss: The goal of life isn’t to avoid problems. That’s not an option.Instead, the life you’re made for is built through the problems.We share: Why problems in your family are normal (even when they feel scary) How to shift from trying to “fix everything” to actually leading through it Why the mess in your relationships may be the pathway to something better How to respond in a way that builds connection instead of fear If you’re in a season where things feel messy, frustrating, or uncertain—this conversation is meant to give you hope.Because the truth is:Your problems aren’t stopping your life.They may be the very thing leading you to it.If you are interested in our parenting on purpose coaching program, send us an email: mark@markdelaney.me or adena@markdelaney.meSupport the show
Most of us spend years learning how to succeed at work… but almost no time learning how to succeed at home.What works in a professional environment doesn’t automatically work in your family. You may be direct, decisive, and effective at work—but at home, those same approaches can create frustration, disconnection, and tension.In this episode, we talk about why high-performing people often feel stuck or unsuccessful as parents. Just like in the workplace, dysfunction in the home often starts with leadership—and Mom and Dad are the leaders. When they’re not aligned, kids feel it.But here’s the shift: parenting frustrations aren’t failures—they’re opportunities.Your job isn’t to raise kids who have no problems. It’s to help them learn how to respond to the problems they face. Every child is navigating life for the first time… and so are you as a parent.You’re not a bad parent—but you might be unprepared. And the good news is, you don’t have to wing it.If you’ve been successful in your career but feel lost or frustrated at home, this episode will help you begin parenting with clarity, confidence, and purpose.Mark and Adena mentioned their 5 week parenting coaching course called "Parenting on Purpose."

People do not struggle with purpose because purpose is unattainable. They struggle because the thought of purpose can feel uncertain, overwhelming, and just out of reach.In this episode, I sit down with Ingo Rauth for a deep conversation about why so many people long for meaning but never take the first step. We talk about how what feels lacking in your life may actually reveal what you are looking for, why changing jobs or relationships does not always solve the deeper issue, and why purpose is not just something to think about but something to experience.We also talk about fear, midlife tension, internal alignment, soul searching, and the powerful shift that happens when you realize purpose may not be “out there” somewhere. It may already be showing up in the way you live, serve, and help people every day.If you have ever felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure whether purpose is still possible for you, this conversation is for you.

Most people want deeper relationships—but they’re not willing to be open.In this episode, we talk about why so many people struggle to open up, how living closed off quietly damages your relationships, and what it actually looks like to become an open person.Because the truth is simple: The quality of your relationships will never exceed your level of openness.If you’ve ever felt disconnected in your marriage, distant from your kids, or surface-level in your friendships, this episode will help you understand why...and what to do about it.You’ll learn: Why people naturally stay closed off (fear, shame, and habit) How being closed impacts your relationships at home and in leadership Practical ways to begin opening up without feeling exposed or overwhelmed How openness connects directly to living with purpose You don’t need to become someone else. You just need to stop hiding and start being known.👉 Want help discovering your purpose and living it out with people?
