Episode 10 marks a special milestone for Becoming is Messy, as we welcome our very first guest. I couldn’t think of anyone more fitting than my person and biggest supporter — Kelly Griego.
Kelly is more than just my husband. He’s a leader, an endurance athlete, a guide for persons with differently abled bodies, an advocate for inclusion, the best dad I know, and the kind of partner who shows up—fully, patiently, and without judgment.
In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what it really means to navigate life’s messiness together—from building a strong foundation on our very first (very unconventional) date to supporting each other’s personal growth, parenting in a blended family, and embracing the chaos of becoming.
We talk about: ✨ Why we didn’t put on a "best foot forward" act when we started dating ✨ The beauty (and challenges) of loving someone with a trauma history ✨ How Kelly never doubted my leap into entrepreneurship—even with all of the possible risks ✨ Our philosophies on navigating life as co-parents for our Hometeam ✨The real, unfiltered side of partnership—without perfection, just presence
Kelly’s final advice? Believe in yourself and let that belief fuel action. And if there’s anything he’s taught me, it’s that real partnership doesn’t mean fixing each other—it means holding space, cheering each other on, and growing side by side.
💡 Tune in for an honest, heartfelt, and sometimes hilarious conversation about love, growth, and showing up—even when it’s messy.
