Send us a textWelcome back to Part 2 of Love & Marriage with Drew and Jordan Brannon — a candid, heartfelt conversation about navigating competition, partnership, and growth within marriage. In this episode, they open up about how they decided to pursue bodybuilding, the emotional and logistical challenges of prep, the moments where selfishness shows up, and how support, boundaries, communication, and presence evolve through the journey.

From competing together, to the importance of noticing changes in your partner, to how social media can distort communication, to the reminder that marriage is work — but worth it — this episode offers relatable insight, humor (yes, including the creamer story 😅), and tools for staying connected through growth and challenge.

Send us a text In this episode of Love and Marriage Fusion Hack Drew and Jordan Brannon share three transformative tips for evolving your relationship through every phase of life and prep. They explore how intentional communication during date nights can strengthen emotional connection, why saying “I don’t have time” is often a symptom of deeper disconnection, and how starting with your “protein”—both nutritionally and relationally—can reset priorities. The conversation unpacks the importance of decoupling food from fun, finding the “why” behind your shared rituals, and using nature as a grounding tool to reconnect. Whether you’re navigating fitness goals, personal growth, or marriage challenges, this episode is a powerful reminder that evolution in love starts with awareness, communication, and intention. Jordan Brannon is an IFBB Bikini Olympian, coach, and entrepreneur.
