In Episode 20 I sit down with my wife, Teri, and pull back the curtain on what you don’t see behind this podcast. We talk through how we actually build this thing as a team—her watching full episodes, pulling timestamps, editing Shorts in CapCut, building thumbnails and quote cards in Canva, and learning how each platform wants something slightly different.

We also talk about the weight this puts on our home. Teri shares what it’s like to juggle homeschool, kids, martial arts, and what has basically become a part-time job behind the scenes. I talk honestly about the times I’ve dropped the ball on scheduling or overloaded her, and what we’re trying to change going forward.

Twenty episodes in, this is part recap and part look ahead: what’s working, what isn’t, the themes that keep showing up in our conversations, and how we want this podcast to grow without swallowing the very family and values it’s supposed to serve.

Teri is my wife and my partner in building this podcast. She’s a homeschool mom, martial artist, and the quiet engine behind a lot of what you see online for The Brenton Peck Podcast. She watches episodes, pulls timestamps, edits Shorts in CapCut, and builds many of our thumbnails and quote cards in Canva—all while raising our kids and running our home. She cares deeply about honest conversations around faith, family, grief, and growth, and about helping other women feel less alone in the middle of their own hard stories.
