"If you don't have any storms in your relationship, find some. Because if we did not have the obstacles we had, we would not have this relationship." John and Annie Meng

What does it look like to build an identity as a couple — not just as two individuals sharing a life? In this rich, raw, and deeply personal conversation, Christine sits down with John and Annie Meng, founders of Love Jaam, to explore what it truly takes to create a shared identity in a relationship — and why the hardest seasons are often the ones that make you.

Annie — Wharton graduate, former Miss Arizona, Wall Street finance veteran, and expecting mama — opens up about what it meant to be disowned by her family for choosing love. Death threats. Wedding day absences. And ultimately, the slow, intentional work of reconciliation that changed her from the inside out.

John, a serial entrepreneur, business exit advisor, and relationship coach, shares how watching the woman he loved walk toward a potentially dangerous confrontation with her father — while he sat quietly in the car — became one of the most spiritually defining moments of his life.

Together, they unpack:

✦ Why opposites don't just attract — they complete
✦ How to use the DISC profile to understand your couple dynamic
✦ What Tony Robbins' four seasons of relationship reveal about where you are right now
✦ The moment John realized love — not ego — had to lead
✦ Why Annie's estrangement from her family became the catalyst for her greatest personal growth
✦ The "Three C's" of lasting love: Chemistry, Commitment, and Compassion
✦ How to create a couples vision — the one exercise Christine is writing down mid-conversation

This episode is for the woman who wants a great relationship but sometimes wonders if what she sees in other couples is even attainable. Spoiler: it is. And behind every great couple is usually a powerful, hard-won story.
