Message Brian & Shawna

Your relationship can be thriving on paper and still feel like you’re living with a stranger. That tension is exactly what we unpack with Dave and Yvette from Warriors and Queens, a couple who built a massive business, traveled the world, and then hit a painful truth: success doesn’t protect a marriage from disconnection, power struggles, or silent resentment. What changed everything was getting honest, finding the right framework, and actually implementing it in real life.

We talk through their clear, memorable model for rebuilding love: Partnership, Passion, Purpose. Partnership brings you back onto the same team through healthier communication and emotional safety. Passion is not the same as partnership, it’s polarity, mystery, and the intentional return to being lovers instead of roommates. Purpose is what becomes possible when the home has peace again, and you can build a meaningful life together instead of just surviving another week. Along the way, they explain two patterns that show up in so many marriages: “frog farming” and “coal mining,” plus small daily habits that create big change, like listening without fixing and using “tell me more.”

We also get real about triggers and conflict. Dave shares a personal story that leads to a practical reset tool called BOP (Breathe Open Pause), and why triggers can be a map to freedom instead of something to avoid. If you’ve tried therapy, read the books, and still feel stuck, this conversation offers a different approach that emphasizes responsibility without shame and results without finger-pointing.
