The Andrew and Kelly Show

There’s no neutral ground in parenting today. Your kids are constantly being influenced—by friends, screens, and culture.In this episode, we break down what it actually means to “shape your children” and how small, everyday choices at home make the biggest difference.

Are we actually setting our kids up for success… or falling short?In this episode, we get honest about the doubts that come with parenting and homeschooling—questioning grade levels, feeling like our kids might be behind, and comparing ourselves to families with more resources and traditional education paths.We talk about the pressure to “keep up,” the fear of not doing enough, and the internal battle between pushing performance vs building real understanding.Most importantly, we step back and ask the bigger question:What does success actually look like for our kids?Is it test scores and grade levels… or character, confidence, and the ability to think for themselves?This episode is a real conversation about insecurity, intention, and choosing a path for our family—even when it doesn’t look like everyone else’s.

This one’s about that uncomfortable middle space—when you feel stuck, but you know you’re growing. We talk about learning boundaries the hard way, not getting too high or too low, and how past experiences have shaped how we move through life now. Plus, we share what’s ahead for us and how we’re trying to stay grounded while still chasing more.

We’ve always said we don’t want this podcast to be about politics or current events.But with everything happening in the world right now… it didn’t feel right to ignore it completely.In this episode, we talk about the tension of staying informed without becoming consumed—and why we believe the most important thing we can focus on isn’t out there… it’s inside our homes.Our goal has always been to support the American household—strong marriages, present parents, and raising good humans. Because at the end of the day, that’s what actually strengthens society.You don’t have to carry the weight of the world… but you do have a responsibility to your family.Stay aware. Stay grounded. And don’t lose sight of what matters most.

In this episode we talk about what it was really like growing up white in Hawaii, where the cultural and demographic reality is very different from the mainland United States.Both of us grew up here as light-skinned kids in a place where we were often the minority. That experience shaped how we understood race, identity, local culture, and belonging.We discuss:• What it felt like navigating school and local culture• The history behind Hawaii’s complicated racial dynamics• Why the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom still affects conversations today• Moments of racism we experienced• How growing up here gave us a different perspective than most AmericansThis conversation isn’t about complaining or comparing struggles. It’s about sharing a perspective that people from Hawaii understand but many people on the mainland may never have thought about.Living in Hawaii teaches you quickly that identity, culture, and history are complicated.

In this episode, we sit down with our first podcast guest, our friend Victory, who shares her firsthand experience surviving the Maui fires in Lahaina.Victory takes us through the moments leading up to the disaster — from waking up to unusually strong winds, to the confusion, chaos, and life-changing decisions people had to make as the fires spread. She also talks about the emotional toll of losing homes, memories, and a place that meant everything to so many families.This conversation is about more than the fires themselves. It’s about community, resilience, grief, and the lasting impact of what happened in Lahaina.We’re grateful to Victory for being willing to share her story and give a deeper perspective on what many people in Maui experienced during those devastating days.🎙 Episode 9 – Surviving the Maui FiresIf this story resonates with you, please like, comment, and subscribe to support the podcast.

In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about something most of us don’t want to admit — our addiction to our phones.The average American spends over 7 hours a day on screens, and nearly 50% of teens say they feel addicted to their phones. Even more alarming, studies show kids as young as 8–12 are spending 4–6 hours per day on devices. Meanwhile, we say we don’t have enough time.What is all that screen time costing us?It’s costing eye contact.It’s costing presence.It’s costing moments we’ll never get back.We talk about how constant scrolling is rewiring our brains, shortening our patience, numbing our attention spans, and quietly stealing time from the people who need us most — our kids.This episode isn’t about shame. It’s about awareness. It’s about asking:Are we modeling the life we want our children to live?Because childhood is short.And no one ever looks back and wishes they scrolled more.Let’s have the conversation.

In Episode 7, we talk about getting older and what it really takes to care for our bodies. After Andrew received high cholesterol and blood pressure results, it became a wake-up call he couldn’t ignore. We share how that moment shifted his mindset—from feeling “fine” to taking his health seriously—and the small, sustainable changes he’s making to protect his long-term health.

In this episode, we share our sobriety journey and reflect on five years of living completely drug and alcohol-free. While we never hit rock bottom, choosing sobriety has been one of the most meaningful decisions of our lives. We talk about clarity, growth, and how this choice has shaped our marriage, family, and the way we show up every day.If you’ve ever been sober-curious or questioned your relationship with alcohol, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we talk openly about mental health and our lived experience with bipolar. This isn’t a clinical conversation or a highlight reel — it’s real life. We share what it’s been like navigating diagnosis, day-to-day challenges, misunderstandings, growth, and the impact bipolar has had on our marriage, family, and faith. Our hope is to bring more understanding, reduce stigma, and remind anyone walking a similar road that they are not alone. Mental health is part of the human experience, and this is our story.

In this episode, we talk through the real hurt we’ve walked through over the last 18 months — how hurt people hurt people, why forgiveness matters, and why boundaries are necessary.We also dive into how we’re raising strong humans: not rescuing, not hovering, but walking with our kids through hard things. And yes… teenage feelings and dating 😅 What even is that?!Raw, honest, and very much a real conversation.

We’re talking real travel hacks—not the luxury, influencer kind, but the “if there’s a will, there’s a way” kind.Andrew and Kelly didn’t grow up with money, privilege, or perfect education. What we did have was curiosity, grit, and a belief that life could be bigger than what we were handed.In this episode, we share:How we made travel happen on a normal incomeThe mindset shift that changed everythingPractical hacks we still use todayWhy waiting for “someday” keeps people stuckIf you’ve ever thought:“I wish I could travel, but…”This episode is for you.Because if we can do it—so can you.👉 Subscribe for honest conversations about family, travel, business, and building a life on purpose.

Traveling as a family isn’t about checking places off a list.It’s about togetherness, growth, and shared experiences.Travel pushes us out of our comfort zones, opens our minds, educates our kids beyond textbooks, and brings us closer in ways routine never could.It challenges us, humbles us, and ultimately unifies us.In Episode 2, we share why family travel is a core value for us and how it’s shaped our relationships, our kids, and our perspective on life.
