In Episode 34, Necia and Hailey do something they’ve never done before, they give each other an honest, on-camera mid-year character evaluation. Together, they reflect on the first half of the year by celebrating each other’s accomplishments, recognizing personal growth, identifying blind spots, and respectfully sharing areas where there’s still room for improvement. This episode isn’t just about checking off goals it’s about taking an honest look at who you’re becoming. Whether your year has been filled with victories, setbacks, or somewhere in between, this conversation will encourage you to pause, reflect, celebrate your progress, and intentionally finish the year stronger than you started. We also challenge our cousins to conduct their own mid-year character evaluation by asking a few trusted people:• What’s one area you’ve seen me grow?• What’s one area I can improve?• What’s one quality you hope I never lose?

Cousins, it’s time for another Life’s a Trip! This week, we’re diving into some of the toughest money conversations families face. Should adult children help their parents financially, even if it sets them back? What advice would you give someone approaching retirement who isn’t financially prepared? And what’s actually harder, making money, keeping money, or saying no? We also tackle a question that’s sure to spark debate: Can someone honestly say they’re struggling financially while continuing to spend money on luxury items? As always, Necia and Hailey share their honest perspectives, challenge each other’s viewpoints, and invite you to think critically about money, family, responsibility, and financial priorities. There may not be one right answer, but these are conversations worth having. Tap in, cousins, and let us know in the comments: Which question challenged your perspective the most?

This week, we’re asking the kind of questions that make you pause, reflect, and examine your faith. Have you ever had to trust God without knowing how everything would work out?

Friends, how many of us have them?! We get honest about defining the level of friendship from acquaintances, friends and sister/brother/family. These people come into your life at all ages and stages to stay for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Gaining friends as an adult is important so that you can continue to grow your community. But it's also important to know how and when to gracefully grow apart. Platonic friends are also needed for perspective and growth! Tell us your thoughts in the comments. Follow us on Social Media!

Do we sometimes use independence as a shield to avoid the vulnerability required for deep relationships? 4.

Cousins get honest about where they are personally while taking accountability for ways they may have fallen short. As Necia and Hailey elevate they realize just how painful progress can be, even when it’s things they prayed for. Communication styles are important which men and women can learn from each other to find balance in understanding. Accountability is also more than acknowledging wrong in the moment but doing a deeper dive to correct your behavior. A big part of accountability is being self aware so you can check that who you think you are or how you show up.

1. What do you feel is the most important thing every relationship should have (respect, love, trust, communication, understanding) 2. What’s one thing you feel like you want to give up but it may be hard? 3. If money didn’t matter, what’s a job you would do? 4. At what point does following your dreams become an excuse for avoiding responsibility? 5. Which of your goals would you abandon if people stopped praising you for them? 6. What aspiration feels too big for your bank account right now but too exciting to give up on? 7. If failure was a required step towards success, which failure would you have a trophy for by now? 8. If your funniest dream actually came true would you be proud of it or would you pretend it never happened? Follow us on Social Media!
