About Mike & Heather

You will never meet two people who are so different and yet true partners in these streets! We were friends for 2 years before we started dating. We then QUICKLY (emphasis on the quick part and no, it was not a shotgun wedding) decided to get engaged less than 4 months later. To move things along even faster, we were married exactly ONE MONTH LATER in viva Las Vegas by a chain smoking Rev Betty – who was at least 100 years old!! All of this makes us experts on marriage, right?? Ok, maybe not, but we’ve been at it for 15 years and it hasn’t exactly been easy. We are the polar opposite on most things… if he’s hot, I’m cold, he thinks Phyllis Hyman sounds like a bad karaoke singer (it’s a crime) and I hate when he uses the word “no cap” – are we 16? We have decided to talk about our marriage OUT LOUD, so take a listen to our weekly therapy session.

Together, we have one terrorist that I birthed 10 years ago (one and done, THANK YOU!)!

Welcome to Marriage Out Loud!

Here are some fun facts about us:

Mike

  • He owns his own barbershop with his bro, Uptown Barber Lounge, but when we first met he was a rapper and a youth speaker.
  • He was born and raised in Arkansas where they live and die by the Hogs football schedule.
  • You will never meet a crazier man!
  • Also, he is a leprechaun, so he’s kind of like a unicorn.
  • Hit him up on instagram @arkansasbarber
