129: How We Make It Work with My Husband, Rob Issa

This is it, this is the episode where you finally get to meet my husband, listeners! I’m so excited to introduce you to my better half, Rob Issa. I talk so much about him and he has gone through a lot as I’ve worked on my business and this podcast and now you get to hear directly from him. Rob and I talk about some of the individual struggles we faced on our own health journeys as well as how we navigate our marriage with having sometimes differing health goals. I know some of you wonder how your health decisions and journeys might affect your partners or families, and I believe Rob can shed some light on the best ways to support each other as well as how we worked through our own differences.

I encourage Rob to share some of how he has felt as he’s been with me through navigating my health journey and working hard to develop Wayza Health. He delves back into the struggles I had before even embarking on my business journey that led to where we are today and admits it hasn’t always been easy but that he always saw his job as just to be there for me and support me in whatever I needed to go through. Rob shares about his own unhealthy food journey and where he is now as well as how he views all the things we try together. Have there been conflicts? Of course there have been. Especially when we talk about how much my hatred of my body would affect him emotionally in the way I’d deflect his compliments. There’s a lot that we broach here, including our mutual challenge with meal planning, and almost everything comes down to communication. We need to talk to each other, we need to know how each other is feeling, and we need to keep that communication going. I love Rob to pieces and I’m so happy to share this very honest conversation with you all.
