If your inbox looks anything like mine…it’s been inundated with emails about holiday sales, prices and promises. Nooooo more, right?

But, here’s something I think you’ll love. I don’t want anything from you in this email…I actually want to do something FOR YOU! I want to answer your questions about life, love, kids, career, relationships, etc, in an upcoming episode of The Paula Faris Show, where I’ll be joined by my hubby, John. 

You’re in the driver’s seat. You get to determine what we’re talking about and why we’re talking about it.  We’re recording soon, so DM me your questions — What are you in the thick of? What do you want to know? We promise this will be the most fun, honest and relatable conversation you’ve heard this year. 

A few questions already coming in…

• ”How do you keep your marriage spicy?”

• “What are you doing to protect your marriage against challenges?”

• “How do you deal with different parenting styles?”

• “How to best deal with mother-in-laws?” 

• “How do you handle your kids dating?”

We are HERE FOR ALL OF THESE. All you have to do is DM me your questions. We can’t wait! 

Know this: we aren’t perfect. We’re far from it. We’ve dealt with all kinds of loss, our kids are savages most of the time and there was a time we were separated. Our goal is to be real and authentic. And, we hope to encourage you wherever you are on your journey and help you live your best life. 

Other holiday happenings I’d love to share with you: rather than family vacations, we’ve been doing overnight family experiences. And, we had the chance to visit Duke’s famed basketball arena, Cameron Indoor last week. Bucket list, for sure. Hoping to take the kids to see my beloved Michigan Wolverines football team in 2024. 💙💛#GoBlue,

TOO GOOD NOT TO SHARE

Maya Angelou once said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” And, I can’t EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE how this kindergarten class made their deaf janitor feel, when they sang — and signed — "Happy Birthday” to Mr. James on his 60th birthday. 😭
