S2: Kids, Marriage and Changing Values, The Ruby Franke Case | Yalla Habibi Podcast

from Yalla Habibi · host Scott and Shelby

We ask one of the biggest relationship questions of all: what happens when the person you love changes? From children and marriage to veganism and life goals, we explore whether there are some differences that love simply can’t overcome, and whether chasing the future you imagined is ever worth losing the person you imagined it with. Along the way, we share our own experiences of changing views on kids, marriage, and the values that have shaped our relationship. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack the disturbing rise and fall of Mormon parenting influencer Ruby Franke, how a series of gradual changes led to one of the internet’s most shocking true-crime stories. Meanwhile, “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shares a powerful Seth Rogen quote that might completely change how you see your partner and what it really takes to build lasting love.
