Kari is no stranger to limiting beliefs, fears, and self-doubt. Before all the success, she's dealt and struggled with insecurities—much like we all do.

info_outlineOur guests today are definitely successful in their chosen fields. Sam and Paddy have been married for over two decades now, but it wasn’t always rainbows and butterflies. Many (most?) married couples can relate. Listen in on the three of us as we chat to find out how they fought to save their marriage, what each one of them compromised, and what the discoveries were that made their relationship better and stronger.
About Sam and Patrick Cullinane
Authors Sam and Patrick have been married for over 20 years and they would tell you they are one of the happiest couples they know. But they weren’t always this happy. After 10 years of marriage, they were ready to sign the divorce papers. During the first 10 years of their marriage, they struggled through like most people do: trying to navigate life together without any real tools, fighting often, having less sex, and falling out of love. In their 10th year of marriage, they decided to file for divorce. After a year apart, against all of the odds, they decided to get back together. This time, they recognized the things each of them brought to the relationship—good and bad. Both made changes to successfully start their next chapter and for the last 10 years they’ve grown their love and created an amazing life together. They became students of love and the security of their strong relationship have allowed each of them to flourish. They recently built and sold a business together, wrote a book about relationships called Bigger Love - How to Have the Love of Your Life for the Rest of Your Life, Sam wrote and released an album, and they continue to run multiple successful businesses together.
Now, they have a mission of sharing and teaching Bigger Love and they recognize they'll need effective social media as a strategy to spread the word. But...ugh. Social media = overwhelming, negative, and frustrating. Let's solve this dilemma!
