Rosemary Ketchum never wanted to run for office. However, when she looked around her community of Wheeling, West Virginia, she saw work to be done. Today she shares her story with us, starting with her work in mental health leading up to her historic win in her state. Along the way we touch on the difference between ignorance and bigotry, the recent historic rulings and what they mean for trans people in the workplace, and the surprising realities of campaigning in a state like West Virginia. You don't want to miss this amazing conversation with the brilliant councilwoman Rosemary Ketchum. You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemaryketchum, and on Twitter @RosemaryKetchum.

Welcome to the new Rise Together. We wanted to start out on this new journey by having an open, honest, forgiving, uncomfortable, but above all hopeful conversation about race. In order to do that, and without centering ourselves in the narrative, we asked Dr. Ed Barron, a Diversity and Leadership consultant and Chair of the department of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Azusa Pacific University, to appear on the show, which he graciously accepted. In this episode we get into it, from the way white supremacy robs all of us of our humanity to the common everyday occurrences that work together to oppress Black voices. If you're someone who wants to get involved with antiracism, but you're not sure how to take the first step, then this episode is definitely for you. Dr. Ed Barron was so generous with his time and expertise here on our show, we wanted to make sure we provided you with slinks to the resources he mentioned such as the Understanding Racism 101 digital guidebook, as well as how you can get in touch with him on his website or on Instagram. Thanks for listening. Let's rise together. -- Dave's first-ever book, Get Out Of Your Own Way, is OUT NOW!

Are you lonely? It's a hard question to ask yourself, and an even harder question to answer. After all, some people spend a lot of time alone and aren't lonely, while others are surrounded by friends and family but feel alone every day. The good news is that this experience is universal - we all go through it, and it's just one part of a larger framework of human connection. This week on the podcast we have the unbelievable pleasure of welcoming Dr. Vivek Murthy whose work in the White House and beyond has focused on bringing empathy and connection to an increasingly disconnected world. We hope you get as much out of listening to this interview as we got putting it together.

This week on the Rise Together podcast we’re bringing you one of the most powerful stories of resilience we have to offer - in our family, in our marriage, in our personal journeys as human beings on this earth. Our adoption story, like so many other parents’ stories out there, was anything but a straight line. Along the way it taught us a lot about what our family could achieve if we relied on our faith and each other to see us through. You’ve probably read Rachel’s words on this story before, but here in this episode you’ll get to hear Dave’s memory of the experience as an excerpt from his first-ever book, Get Out of Your Own Way, which you can get by clicking the link below!

Raise your hand if you're so desperate for a date that you'd consider meeting your significant other at the end of the driveway just to feel like you're out on the town again - that's real. This episode of Rise Together is the definition of real - we're talking "make out" sessions, we're talking loving each other more than we like each other, we're clearing the air about resentment we brought into quarantine and most importantly; how we've arrived at now, feeling stronger and more in love than ever. Trust me - we know how it sounds, which is why we want to talk about all the really hard things that got us to this good place. We hope you'll come along for the ride!

When we decided the theme for this week of the #Next90Days Challenge would be leadership, we knew exactly what to do After all, who better to speak to the lessons of leadership than the man who literally (literally? literally.) hosts the podcast... On Leadership. That's right, Scott Miller of Franklin Covey has returned to HoCo, this time to give advice on being humble, strategies to improve communication with your partner, and how generally to be a good leader, even when no one is watching. This episode was recorded before the pandemic began, but we think the lessons from the conversation are more relevant now than ever. If you're not following Scott Miller's brilliant On Leadership video podcast, you are truly missing out on some life-changing conversations. Check out Rachel's and Dave's episodes in the feed!

This week on the podcast we're talking to Charles Duhigg, habit-making and productivity expert and the host of How To! with Charles Duhigg. Charles' book The Power of Habit has been one of Dave's favorites for a long time now, so when we got the chance to be guests on his show, we jumped at the chance! You can hear our episode of How To! by clicking here. Charles also graciously agreed to come on our show and chat with Dave all about habits-- creating habits, identifying the cues that lead us to creating a habit, and how to recognize when a habit (though it might be a great habit for you) can negatively affect your spouse or partner. Guys, there's no better time than right now to examine your day-to-day routine and clean up the habits that are preventing you from becoming your best self!

Sometimes, an opportunity reaches out to you from the universe at the exact moment you need it. That's what it felt like when we connected with Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt, who had a book come out the same week as Dave's - a remarkable piece of nonfiction called The Gift of Forgiveness. In it, Katherine interviews twenty people with incredible, challenging stories of forgiveness - including a few names you might recognize. In this incredible episode, we talk about the pain and the joy of forgiveness, how to start practicing forgiveness in your life (because make no mistake, it IS a practice), and the changes it can bring.

This is it: the episode about the mountain. You've probably already heard us talk about the incredible experience we had in Utah a couple weekends ago, how training for it brought us closer together, and accomplishing it set our hearts on fire.

This is one you won't wanna miss a minute of. What are you even doing still reading this? Start listening now!

This episode is a little different from what you're used to hearing on RISE Together, but we had an absolute blast recording it! That's because today we're talking with some of the mega-talented staff here at Hollis Co HQ about love, marriage, and singlehood in the 20-teens (is that what we're calling it?) Four of our hardworking teammates (including a couple you might recognize from social media or RISE conferences!) took time out of their busy schedules to get emotional, honest, and raw with us on topics ranging from how to use dating apps to how to help your partner be better in your relationship. If you have relationship questions you might want to ask in a future podcast - make sure you send them to us over social media!

This week, by popular demand, we're talking about confrontation styles. How do you fight with your partner? Do you aim to wound, or are you trying to find a peaceful resolution? Maybe your fighting style is to avoid fighting at all costs. Everyone's confrontation style is a little different, and oftentimes how we fight with our current partner is informed by the traumas of our past - past relationships, childhood modeling, and even media. This is a great episode to listen to with your partner as we dig into some hard truths and challenge YOU to get real about what you're holding onto and what you can stand to let go.

This episode is for the people that are interested in taking their health or their fitness to the next level. We discuss the pros and cons of our at home gym, our individual exercise habits and what gets us motivated to get our workouts in. Making our gym has had such a positive impact on our lives that we thought we would share the why's, the how's, and the what's that went into making our gym, in case you were considering it too.

Recently, we lost someone close to us. That loss made us reflect on our lives and what we hold as important. We can all get stuck in those negative emotions we associate with grief if we don't give them some sort of outlet. For us, that outlet looks like talking about it. How do we deal with grief? How can loss create a space in which to examine and reevaluate your own life? Are you proud of the life you're living? These are just some of the tough questions we cover today.

At some point in time, every single one of you who listens to this podcast will deal with the topic of grief and have to address it in order to maintain healthy relationships in your life. So, even though we didn't want to have this hard conversation, we did, because it matters.

This week for Rise Together we're discussing health based sabotage. We've defined and named four partner types whose behaviors can negatively impact your health journey, based on our own experiences. We hope that by outlining these archetypes, you can be more mindful of external behaviors that might keep you from focusing on your own health and fitness goals. Knowing what might throw you off will help you to establish a sturdy foundation for yourself, no matter what goal you're chasing.

There are all kinds of women in the world, but this is a reflection of what I, Rachel Hollis, actually want out of a relationship and a partner. If there is something you hear today that you relate to and wish your partner could understand about you, then this is the episode to pass along to start that conversation!

Dave and I are not like other couples in a lot of ways, and proud of it! In this episode, we discuss how being different has shaped our relationship. From prioritizing our health to our willingness to dive head-first into the hard conversations, we break down our list of what we feel makes our relationship different. If we don't sound like you, that's great, because every relationship is completely unique. The only questions is how do you take these traits and quirks and make them a foundation of your relationship?

Today on Rise Together, it's our anniversary! We've been married for an incredible 15 years this week, so it seems like a good time to look back over our relationship and spend some time discussing what we did right and wrong in all those years. We also try to impart some wisdom on our former selves. Our marriage is one of the greatest gifts in our lives, but it's also taken a massive amount of work and commitment on both of our parts to make it as strong as it is. So whether you're single, engaged, newlyweds, or deep into your journey, we hope you can take something away from this conversation.

Today on Rise Together, we are so privileged to have Devon Still as our guest. Devon is a former NFL player who famously took the field after his daughter Leah's devastating pediatric cancer diagnosis and helped her fight her illness while bringing an unbelievable amount of attention to the cause and helping others in the same devastating situation. Devon talks to me about how he was able to walk alongside her after himself almost dying himself, and why he chose to bring her fight onto the field. 

Devon is an absolute inspiration and if you have ever had to lend you strength to someone with an illness, I think you'll find a lot of comfort in this interview.

Today on Rise Together we’re throwing it back to an important episode from the way early days of the podcast. In the episode we discuss a topic very close to our relationship, how to approach your partner if they’re not into personal development. Whether you want them to dip their toes into it themselves, or just support you on your journey, approaching the subject can be a relationship minefield. We discuss how we traversed this issue in our own relationship in the hopes that it can help you do the same.

Today on Rise Together, we’re at it again. Conquering the butterflies in our stomach to talk about the thing that we all want to talk about, but sometimes have trouble with. And this time we brought in a dang expert! Vanessa Marin is a brilliant sex therapist who has been featured in O Magazine, Refinery29, Real Simple, and so many more. In the episode, we talk about conquering shame and being open with your partner about your sex life, what to do if you and your partner have different sex drives, and how to prioritize intimacy even when you are crazy busy. It’s a wonderful and open conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Just probably not with kids in the car.

Today on Rise Together we’re celebrating the launch of Girl, Stop Apologizing by discussing something that weighed very heavily on Rachel’s mind while she wrote it; how to persevere when your family or friends are not supportive of your dream. We touch on what to do when your partner puts more value into their happiness than your dreams and ambitions, how to cope when your friends or family don’t honor what you’re working towards, and an easy litmus test for questions we should and shouldn’t be asking.

Today on Rise Together we’re talking about something we’ve never discussed in detail with our audience, the incredible and emotionally-trying journey we took to adoption. In what ended up being 5 long years of our lives, we navigated both international and domestic adoption, becoming foster parents, and the complicated waters of state and national child-care agencies, all in the name of completing our family. It resulted in some of the toughest seasons of our lives but also the sweetest moments and we are so blessed to be able to share this story with you.

If you’re interested in learning more about adoption or foster care, find as many people in your community who can share their story.  Follow folks on social who share theirs like some of our IG favorites: @elsielarson, @thisgatherednest, @theluckyfewofficial and @adopttogether.

National Angels (https://www.nationalangels.org) is an organization that walks alongside children in the foster care system, as well as their caretakers, by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building and mentorship.

We mentioned Jen Hatmaker’s book Interrupted (https://amzn.to/2BW6sSv), it landed at a time to encourage our jumping into awesome interruption.  Our friend Heather Avis also writes the story of being called into adoption in her book The Lucky Few (https://amzn.to/2BY5EfT).

When we first started this very podcast, we made a wishlist of guests that changed the way we think about love and relationships. Dr. Gary Chapman was at the very top of that list. Dr. Chapman’s book “The Five Love Languages” has made a tangible and direct impact in our relationship, and we’re believers that Dr. Chapman’s wisdom can result in positive change in almost every relationship. We are incredibly excited and honored to have the author with us to talk about our personal languages, how that impacts our relationship, and some surprising applications for his brilliant work.

On this week's Rise Together podcast, we’re digging into the opinions of other people, and how we dodge or sometimes even positively use the opinions of others. Of course you should take everyone’s opinion with a grain of salt, but no matter how much we say that, it’s never that easy. You may even find it influences some constructive growth in regards to how you’re showing up for the the people you love. Here is how we pick through both the positive and negative things we hear about ourselves every day.

As the end of the year approaches, we think it’s incredibly important to take stock of the highs and lows you’ve experienced as a couple over the previous 12 months. For us, it’s been one of the most eventful and meaningful years of our collective lives, and unpacking that was extremely insightful. This week, we dig deep into what we learned, what we loved, and what we hope to do better in 2019.

On this week's Rise Together podcast, we're going to talk about the roles and identities we each take on in a relationship and how despite our best intention of how we hope to show up well for our partner, what we think they want may not what they really need.

The roles and identities we as individuals in a relationship play evolve over the course of our partnership through stages and seasons of life. In a relationship that's interested in moving forward, letting go of who you are or who you were for who you'll become is something you need to work through and continually embrace, even as you're at times unrecognizable from where you started -- that's growth. Those changes show how a fluid you anticipates the needs of each other at specific times in life and in specific environments that surround you.

You'll only be able to show up in a way that makes the most of your collective strengths if you're combining your individual strengths with the individual needs of your partner in a way that's informed by regular, transparent conversation, and that anticipates how life or seasonal changes may require a pivot where you or they take on a new role to create the strongest team.

In a conversation with Larry Hagner, the host of The Dad Edge Podcast, Dave and Larry talk about raising 1,000 kids, how to keep the spark alive with your spouse while doing so, the myths around balance, the debate of giving kids what they want vs what they need and the biggest things they're hoping to impart on their small humans.

In this week's episode, Rachel and Dave surprise each other with the five gifts they're "giving" each other for Christmas this year in one of each of five categories: something the other needs, something the other wants, something the other can wear, something the other can read and something fun for intimacy in the bedroom. Also, this podcast was recorded 8 seconds after Dave and Rachel were arguing for 9 minutes, so it's off the rails in the best way from the first second.

Thank you to all of you for being part of our community - we are GRATEFUL for YOU! This week's episode takes us back to the beginning, the first episode, recorded to the chagrin of our audio dude in the front seat of a Mini Cooper, while we were stuck in traffic. Classy. If you're listening in the US, a very Happy Thanksgiving to you! We'll be back next week with an all new episode of Rise Together. If you like this show, we hope you'll tell your friends on social (using the hashtag #risetogetherpodcast), subscribe on the platform of your choice and leave a rating (unless you hate this, in which case, keep that to yourself, Pam)!

The opinions of outsiders can create havoc within a relationship. Just the word "mother-in-law" is likely to bring one or both of you into a heightened state of bickering. In this episode we have selected several excerpts from our live speaking engagements to delve into the mechanics of why opinions affect us and the methods we have used to drop this mental luggage off at the curb. (In the last segment Rachel was literally using luggage on-stage to make an important point.) Enjoy!

Here it is...Our first ever Rise Together attempt at answering some of the ridiculously difficult questions you, our loyal listeners send via email. Since we choose these questions live during recording with no prep time you get to hear us play hot potato with some of your gnarly questions about sex, parenting, being fatigued and more sex questions. Screen cap yourself listening and tag us on instagram @msrachelhollis and @mrdavehollis with your opinion of the new Mail Bag format!

In today's episode Dave takes a solo mission deep into man country and tackles the four things men can't talk about to their partners. Guys whether you like it or not, these issues eventually crop up in every relationship. By learning to boldly identify them they lose their power to derail your marriage. Women, this is like getting a secret map to the very things that might be jamming communications. Dave is transparent and frank, and for that reason we don't recommend playing this podcast around little humans. We hope this episode will unlock freedom in your relationship, like it has in ours.
