Giving All My Experience: Real Conversations on Marriage, Parenting & Growth

Send a textWe sat down with our financial advisor and couldn't explain where $2,000 went. It wasn't reckless spending; it was family nights, lunch dates, holidays, and a birthday celebration. Human spending. But the budget didn't know the difference.In this episode, Shaad shares the moment that forced a financial reset, sitting across from the person who was supposed to help build their wealth, and not being able to account for the money. Then Chade shares what happened next: why she chose grace over anger, and how that conversation became the turning point for how they handle money as a couple.Together, they break down their 5-step reset blueprint: scanning 90 days of transactions, writing a plan before payday, creating notes to explain purchases, finding your lanes as a couple, and building a judgment-free zone for money conversations.This episode is for every couple that's ever been too ashamed to have the hard money conversation. Starting over isn't failure, it's honesty. And honesty is the foundation of everything.Key topics: budget reset for couples, marriage and money, financial accountability, breaking the shame cycle, starting over with your finances, judgment-free money conversations.The G.A.M.E. Podcast is a Christian marriage and family podcast hosted by Shaad and Chade, a real couple raising five kids while building faith, managing family finances, and breaking generational curses. New episodes every Tuesday at 6 AM EST.Connect with us: Instagram: @givingallmyexperience Twitter: @_ShardyJ Instagram: @Chadewilliams__

Send a textSeven months ago, we stepped away.Not because we quit. Because life demanded everything, we had grief from losing a grandmother who was the heartbeat of our family, sleepless nights with a brand new baby, and a season of stagnation neither one of us saw coming until we looked in the mirror and barely recognized ourselves.But we're back. And Season 2 starts right here.In this episode, Rashaad and Chade pull back the curtain on everything the last seven months taught them: the joy of welcoming Chloe into the world, the exhaustion of parenting again from scratch, the empty chair at Thanksgiving that cracked something open in Shaad's chest, and the quiet depression that hides behind the words "I'm fine."They also get into what this season is really about: systems. Not complicated ones. Just the small daily decisions that keep your house, your faith, your finances, and your mental health from falling apart when life gets loud.If you've been feeling behind, this episode is your reminder that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. But grace without movement is just an excuse. Pick the baton up. Start where you are.This is G.A.M.E. — Giving All My Experience. Season 2. Let's grow.Topics covered in this episode:Welcoming Chloe and the real experience of parenting againGrief, the empty chair, and the depression you don't see comingWhy does your patience run out at home but not at workBuilding systems for your parenting, spiritual, financial, and personal lifeValentine's Day without the pressure and why the small things matter moreA word for everyone who feels like they're behindNew episodes every Tuesday at 6 am EST.Follow us on Instagram: @givingallmyexperience Follow us on TikTok: @Gamepodcast_Follow Rashaad on Twitter: @_ShardyJ Follow Chade on Instagram: @Chadewilliams__Follow Rashaad on Instagram: @_Rashaad.WilliamssrSubscribe, leave a review, and share this with somebody who needs a reset.
