May and Chase kick things off reflecting on their recent out-of-town trips to catch up with family and friends—May in happening Miami for a bachelorette party, Chase in small-town Virginia for a high school reunion.

May shares that she’s been feeling a “gap” of sorts growing between her and a number of her old family and friends, especially over these past two, life-changing years. She says that the more she has become comfortable with her innate spirituality, the more she feels “pulled away” from certain past relationships.

Growth is not a journey to become a different version of yourself. Rather, it’s a journey to discovering the version of you that was always there—your truest self.

Key Highlights

  • May reads Chase’s high school yearbook bio. After nine years together, she admits that she only knew one out of the couple dozen facts written on it.

  • It’s always painful to realize that you’ve outgrown certain relationships, but Chase and May see it as indicative of having personally changed for the better—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

  • Chase and May look back on their personal and professional growth since their move out West, saying that California was the environment that has allowed who they have been all along to finally shine.

Powerful Quotes

  • I’m starting to feel somewhat of a gap where I’m pulled away from certain relationships from my life. Not that I want them out of my life, but I can’t relate anymore. I think what’s happening is, we are really evolving as people. This last year for us has been extremely transformative on a very personal and spiritual level. ~May

  • When your relationship with yourself has changed and evolved, it’s a reminder that the distance that you think is there now between yourself and other people is really the distance you have within yourself that has expanded so much. ~Chase

  • When people say, “You’ve changed,” I say, “Thank God!” I’m glad I’ve changed. I’d be worried if I stayed the same. ~May

  • You’re not becoming a different version of you. You’re just getting closer to the version of you that’s always been there—your truest self. ~Chase
