093: A Chat with Todd & Dina, The Dynamic Duo

In this heartfelt and humorous episode, I sit down with the two people who know me best—my parents. What starts as a light chat about holiday traditions and Europe’s Christmas markets takes a deep dive into some of life’s biggest lessons: the power of faith, the resilience required in tough times, and the unexpected joys of family.

We explore their recent trip to historical sites in Europe, including Nazi concentration camps, and reflect on the importance of remembering history to better appreciate the present. From stories of parenting and childhood chaos (like our infamous “dog ball” game) to how their love has evolved over nearly 40 years of marriage, this conversation is raw, insightful, and full of laughs.

Whether we’re discussing faith, gratitude, or skydiving dreams, this episode reminds us of what it means to live intentionally, stay connected, and, as always, keep getting after it.
