Welcome to US
From Friendship to Forever
We didn’t start out as a love story.
We started out as friends.
For years, Patrice and Sean shared conversations, laughter, and honest connection—never knowing that the person sitting across from them would one day become husband and wife. During those years of friendship, we were completely open with one another, talking about life, trauma, faith, relationships, and dreams—without pressure, without expectation, without pretense.
And then one day, something shifted.
When we realized what was growing between us, we didn’t waste time. The transition from friendship to relationship was effortless, because it’s a lot easier when you marry your best friend. We already knew each other’s hearts. We already trusted each other. We already felt safe.
People often ask how we’re able to work together, be home together, and build together without burning out. Our answer is simple: it never feels like work. It feels like we’re just kicking it as friends every day. When you marry your best friend, you take the struggle out of the marriage.
A Connection Before We Ever Met
What makes our story even more incredible is what we discovered later.
Years before we met—before we even knew each other existed—we were walking in the same circles. We were stationed in the same places in the military. We lived in the same areas. We hung out in the same spaces. Our paths crossed in proximity but never in person.
It felt like God had been aligning us long before we were ready.
When we finally met and began talking, there was an unexplainable magnetic pull between us—like two lives that had been orbiting each other finally collided. Looking back, it feels less like coincidence and more like divine timing.
Blending Love, Blending Family
When we said yes to each other, we didn’t just blend our lives—we blended our family.
Together, we became a family of six children—four girls and two boys—bringing together different stories, personalities, and journeys into one home. And today, our family continues to grow with three precious grandbabies, reminding us daily that healing and love ripple through generations.
Blending a family takes patience, grace, healing, and intentional love, and we embraced that journey with open hearts. Our family is a living testimony that love is built, healing is intentional, and connection is chosen—every single day.
Why We Created Sauti Soul
Our journey from friendship to marriage—and from two families to one—taught us something powerful:
Healing, friendship, and love grow best in safe conversation.
Sauti Soul was created from that foundation—a space for real conversations, healing, laughter, and love. Through Fireside Chats and our marriage retreats, we invite others into the kind of honest, soul-centered connection that changed our lives.
Let Healing Be Heard.
