Welcome back to the Frequency of Love podcast, where we explore the many ways couples cultivate connection, intention, and heart-centered partnership. Today, we sit down with Krista and Shane — two deeply creative, growth-focused individuals who have spent over a decade building a life rooted in dreaming big, expanding together, and supporting each other through every evolution.
Rather than diving only into their love story, this conversation shines a light on who they are as people: the dreamers, the healers, the parents, the soft-hearted humans continually choosing growth and connection. This is a beautiful, grounded look at how two individuals show up for themselves so they can show up for each other.
Episode Summary
Krista and Shane are united by a shared spark: they are both dreamers with an unshakable belief that anything is possible when you build it together. Krista speaks openly about her personal healing, the reclamation of intimacy, and the safety she feels in Shane’s unwavering presence. Shane admires Krista’s generous heart, her capacity to maintain deep relationships, and the quiet leadership she brings into her life and family.
Individually, they both prioritize growth, self-understanding, and authenticity. Together, they use those qualities to navigate parenting, intimacy, communication, and the natural shifts that come with 12+ years of partnership. Their story is a reminder that love deepens when two people commit to evolving both separately and side by side.
