    <description>Hosted by Durelle and Samantha Bailey — married for nine years and building life side by side — this show is a real, unfiltered look at what it takes to grow together intentionally.

We believe marriage should be aspirational. Structured. Strategic. Not accidental.

Each week, we share honest conversations about relationships, financial alignment, business, faith, personal growth, and the systems that have helped us move from instability to ownership — and from survival to vision.

This isn’t about pretending to have it all figured out. It’s about choosing alignment, choosing growth, and building on purpose — the Bailey Way.</description>

      <title>2: Why We Waited 9 Years to Start a Family</title>
      <description>After 9 years of marriage and 12 years together, Samantha and Durelle Bailey finally open up about why they chose to wait, what they learned during that season, and how their very different childhoods shaped the parents they hope to become.

On today’s episode of The Bailey Way, their conversation goes far beyond baby fever and parenting plans. Durelle shares the painful realities of growing up without healthy parental examples, navigating childhood trauma, and the commitment he's made to break generational cycles. Samantha, on the other hand, reflects on being raised in a stable, loving home and the lessons she hopes to carry into motherhood.

Together, they discuss healing, intentional marriage, emotional maturity, discipline, faith, family, and why becoming parents starts long before a child is born.

KEY POINTS: 


  
Why we waited 9 years to have kids



  
The truth behind our "baby timeline"



  
Growing up with completely different childhoods



  
The day Durelle's heart was broken as a child



  
Breaking generational curses before becoming parents



  
How trauma followed us into marriage



  
The healing work required before having children



  
Learning to parent without healthy examples



  
Rethinking discipline, correction, and communication



  
God's provision through unexpected people



  
Preparing for parenthood beyond diapers and strollers



  
On building a family legacy that changes everything




QUOTES: 

“I'm actually excited to be a dad to even heal the parts of me that didn't get to experience a safe pamper.” – Durelle Bailey

“It's not just telling your kids you love them, but showing up for them and making sure that they feel that.” - Samantha Bailey

The fears they faced before leaving their careers



  
Why financial preparation matters before taking a leap

"Make sure that you're building that thing while you have an income to sustain what you're building, don't just leap onto nothing." – Durelle Bailey

"I trusted him. And I trusted that if anybody wanted to make sure we were in a good financial position, it was you." – Samantha Bailey
