In today’s episode we talked allllll about Youth Sports. There are so many kids in youth sports these days and while we love to see kids outside trying new things, learning responsibility and making friends, we can’t help but notice how much more intense sports have gotten for kids. Not to mention how stressful the games have gotten for the parents! This topic led to some good conversation on how to be a good parent in youth sports and how to make sure your kids are out there having a good time. It makes us thankful we got to enjoy sports for fun in our childhood and we hope our kids one day can do the same.

Today we’re joined by the one and only Mark Ballas and his wife, BC Jean Ballas! Mark and I go way back to season 8 of Dancing with the Stars where we won the Mirrorball trophy and became the champions together! Earlier this year, Mark announced his retirement from DWTS and a few months later, he and BC announced they were pregnant! We couldn’t be happier for them and it’s been so fun knowing BC and I are both pregnant at the same time! We hope you enjoy this interview with this incredibly talented couple and be sure to check out their latest song, “Rainbow.” Link below! Love you guys!Shawn and AndrewCheck out their song RAINBOW 🌈 https://ffm.to/alexanderjean_rainbow"We lost a baby last year, just when we thought we were in a good place to tell friends + family we received the heavy news that our little one wasn’t going to make it, we’ve both been through hard things in our lives but this was a different kind of sadness, this song is for anyone that has experienced loss in any form, We hope it brings the listener some kind of peace & reminds them that a rainbow isn’t far behind." Check out their song SO SMALL: https://ffm.to/alexanderjean_sosmall"This song is a musical diary of the beautiful chaos and transformative journey of becoming a parent. It all started with a guitar riff and concept we were saving for when we had a baby of our own. Once we got the good news that we were expecting, we were able to tap into our raw emotions that this next chapter of life brings, painting an intimate portrait of this new overwhelming love for our tiny human we have yet to meet. This lullaby is for anyone who is a parent or expecting to be.
