Episode 02: Marriage + Working Together

In this episode, Elise & Scott Grice open up about their marriage and working relationship, plus their struggles surrounding sex, children, family, boundaries, conflict, generational patterns, and role models.

“Growing as an individual and growing as co-partners through life always comes back to breaking old patterns and creating new ones. Which I kinda sort of love. I love the fact that our marriage is constantly shedding old layers and become new again. It’s like this never-ending shedding process.”
