In this heartfelt and down-to-earth episode of Marriage IQ Real Talk, Scott and Heidi Hastings open up about the identity shifts that naturally occur over the course of a marriage—and how those changes can either bring couples closer or slowly create distance.
Drawing from their own journey through parenthood, career changes, and personal growth, Scott and Heidi offer a vulnerable look at how evolving roles, beliefs, and passions can reshape a marriage—for better or for worse.
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
How major life transitions—like becoming parents, changing careers, or exploring new beliefs—can impact your identity
Why curiosity and emotional safety are essential when your spouse is changing
What to do when fear or disconnection starts creeping in
A simple but powerful practice: identity affirmation lists
The beautiful metaphor behind Ben Platt’s "Grow As We Go"—and how it speaks to the heart of lasting love
Whether you're in the middle of a shift or feeling the distance that change can bring, this episode is a reminder: growth doesn't have to divide you. It can be the very thing that draws you back together.
