Four Years of the Family Brand Podcast + A Sneak Peek at Our New Year’s FREE Download!

Hey Family Brand! It’s Melissa here, joined by Chris, and today we’re celebrating a huge milestone: four years of the Family Brand Podcast! We can hardly believe it ourselves, and we couldn’t have done it without YOU—our incredible listeners. In this episode, we’re looking back at the conversations that have shaped us, the lessons we’ve learned, and why consistency has been our secret sauce. Plus, we’re giving you a sneak peek at an exciting New Year’s resource we’ve created just for you and your family!

We kicked things off with some behind-the-scenes fun—recording this episode on a school bus! Yes, you heard that right. Chris pulled up in the bus after coaching our daughter’s basketball team, and it felt fitting to mark this adventure-filled journey with a little spontaneity. Reflecting on these past four years, we’re amazed at how the podcast has grown and the impact it’s had on families worldwide. Your support, shares, and reviews keep us going, so thank you for being part of this mission!

Melissa shared her “why” behind the podcast—what keeps her showing up every week (almost without fail!). It started as a personal challenge to find her voice and has since transformed into a platform for meaningful conversations that uplift families. For Chris, one key takeaway has been the power of consistency. Whether it’s a podcast, a family tradition, or building a strong marriage, consistency trumps everything.

We also revisited some of our favorite episodes, like Thomas McConkie’s conversation on navigating faith crises within families and our deeply personal episode on why your marriage is worth fighting for. Each one reminded us of the transformative power of honest, vulnerable conversations.

And here’s the big news: We’re launching a free New Year’s resource to help you close out this year intentionally and start the next one with purpose. It’s designed for families to reflect together, celebrate your wins, and set meaningful goals as a team.
