EP 1 | david woods

[@cooppertooper2114]

David is so well spoken. You guys compliment each other, as well. It’s only episode 1 - but I feel your podcast will help humanize the people view infront of a screen more, which will hopefully help viewers/followers be more empathetic and think twice before commenting something hurtful (for example). I have a whole new respect for David, and I love that his life experience has made him a more kinder, understanding human and officer.

[@cmdsilv]

David is truly so well spoken and such a good storyteller. Appreciate him talking about his upbringing and seeing how far he’s come!

[@hannahjanae7107]

So proud of David for breaking generational curses, there's such a light within him throughout all his trauma. Love that you both have each other!

[@AlyssaAllen-]

i can’t get over avery saying “slay” when david was talking about he could only hold hands when they were praying. i’m literally dying laughing

[@ashleymelissah11]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg me too lmaoooo I was rolling 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@tatumhubbard2495]

I loved that Avery chose David for her first episode, learning about his childhood and life just explains so many things about him we didn’t know and a lot of us who went through the same can now relate to him as much as we did Avery!

[@laurengreco3516]

What a sweet soul he is, still being so respectful with his words about his mom even after all he’s been through ♥️

[@KelseaBerry-v1o]

Wow so impressed by David’s ability to tell his story. He is so down to earth, you can tell he is such a genuine person. Congratulations, amazing first episode. You’re great Avery xx

[@emmachiappetta3160]

Love the addiction talk because it is something so many families are affected by!!!!!

[@justmeeog1679]

as someone who grew up pentecostal and is still living in that faith, it was so interesting to hear david’s pov and experience. personally with full faith in God, my needs are met. i also am experiencing a time of financial struggle and when i asked for help, it was given to me. i know not every church or person is like that. but also the times i didn’t ask for help and just struggled alone, i went to God with my struggles and only He was able to help me have peace about the situation. a life of faith is not always an easy one. and i have family too that struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol. but by Gods grace they are doing better and in His hands! no other person could’ve saved them but God. i sympathize with David and have heard so many similar stories. so happy he is able to live a happy life with avery and their family!!

[@IshikaG09]

David has gone through a LOT. We don't know him as well as you do because we only see him on videos you post on tiktok, but dang, I can't imagine the amount of self work and effort this man has had to do to heal from all his childhood trauma, to be such a loving, supportive, providing, and sweet husband to you and father to your kids. Kudos to David, really. Takes a lot be like him. Cheers Avery

[@makayleevermeulen3862]

So you're telling me I have to wait for more episodes? This was amazing, and the history of your relationship and backgrounds were sooo fascinating. I am now invested, and I'm ready for episode #2 with David. I can't wait to see who else you bring onto your channel!!!

[@TTbabi93]

Part 2 please?! Im obsessed with you guys. David did great couldn’t tell you were nervous at all. You both tell great stories and don’t skimp on the details, WE love it

[@emilyboogaard5743]

Thank you for normalizing setting boundaries/distancing yourself from family when the environment is toxic. People do not understand why my husband and I don't talk to his family anymore, but the environment isn't great and I refuse to bring my children around it. This was such a real and amazing episode, and I can't wait for the rest! Congrats on the new pod, Avery!

[@sydneyreyes3226]

Your love is so pure!!!! I love the way David talks about you!

[@marianacosio2068]

I resonated so much with David’s families history with alcohol & substance abuse. I sometimes catch myself feeling guilty when I have a drink or going through periods of time without wanting to drink because I think of family I have lost to alcohol & I wonder if it will ever affect me the same. My family on both sides have addictive personalities, drugs on one side & alcohol on the other. You guys are an inspiration, I’m half way through my BSN program right now & im looking forward to having kids of my own & a strong family dynamic like yours! ❤

[@BekahDavies]

I would honestly just love a podcast of you two talking and sharing your stories. I could watch this 1000x. I loved it so much!!

[@maddiemiller4333]

my dad had a similar upbringing as david did, unfortunately he didn’t break the cycle like david did. thank you for sharing and making me feel okay for choosing not to continue a relationship with him 🤍 love you guys

[@orianatrigo8768]

AVERY YOU DID IT! Loved hearing David's story! Congrats to you both🫶

[@lucypaterson8332]

David’s story is so relatable to me, it’s amazing to see the man he has turned into, even from a strangers perspective. My grandparents were there for me in my darkest days and if it weren’t for them, I don’t know where I’d be now. It’s really comforting to know that I’m not alone and that you can really grow and become a better person even after situations like David and I have been through. He’s an inspiration to his children for sure and I just know, even though I don’t know you guys personally is probably the best dad The girls, Ziggy and Stevie could ask for. Love you avery, your support for David means more than you’ll ever know, going on my experience would have been amazing to have someone like you in my Side ❤

[@ilysmwhitney]

thank you both for your honesty! getting to know David’s story and genuine experience only makes me support and love your family more! after hearing about David’s parents, his upbringing (especially after things like the gothard documentary) i have so much respect for the lives you are able to lead. i can’t wait for the next episode!!!

[@chyannetaylor2449]

You can tell he’s so genuine and sweet to Avery 🥺🥺 they besties

[@natashadominguez4081]

Love that your guys’ story has layers to it. David is so sweet and kind and it always shows. Avery I can’t wait for more!

[@rachbelz]

I can relate to David so much. It is so hard to have parents that are addicts but it’s also something that shows you what that side of life looks like and prevents you from going down the same path in your own life. Much love to you both!!

[@crystalhernandez6038]

Wow David’s upbringing really resonated with me because I had a similar life when it came to my mom having addictions. This episode was amazing, I went from shedding tears to cracking up. I feel so connected to you guys and I know your podcast is going to touch so many🤍

[@SimplyZeyma]

You guys compliment eachother so well. The ending made me emotional, I really enjoyed hearing David’s story. It’s amazing how far you’ve both come given how much you’ve both been through

[@mirandadelrio575]

This was an amazing episode. David is so well spoken and you two bring the best out of each other! Can’t wait for more!

[@jewelamaya2354]

I have been waiting for this podcast to come out for what feels like forever, and it couldn’t have been executed any better! David’s story is so moving. You have a beautiful relationship. Amazing first episode🥰

[@katiekirkland16]

Hearing the hardships David gone through in his upbringing has made me cry. I hate that someone with such a caring demeanor went through things like that. He really has made a beautiful life for himself

[@teneciathomas]

I hate that you both had a bad experience with church. My faith has guided so much of my life and I know without a doubt that God was the only one who made a way during my difficult time. I pray that it comes back around for you both. Absolutely love that David was your first guest. Love you guys dynamic!!

[@rachelshertzer3170]

If every season is going to start with David… every season should end with a video all about Avery and YOUR past & present!!♥️loved this!

[@allydavies5916]

Wow I had no idea about David’s religious background… I had a similar background and I love hearing about people becoming free from it. Awesome episode! Looking forward to more!

[@thewerita20]

Didn't know i needed this podcast until i finished this episode, i was balling my eyes most of the time , you guys are so perfect for each other

[@arielkpowell]

This was so amazing!! Hearing more about David and what he’s gone through and how you guys came to be, was so special, thank you for sharing it with us! I can’t wait for more episodes with David and seeing everything else you release Avery 🥰

[@JR-pb1rd]

Wow 😮 I bet David, Emilie, and Brady have a lot in common when it comes to past religion .

[@biancaafuola3005]

the way that I turned off the Kardashian's so fast to come and watch this!!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore you, Avery! and you having a podcast now makes me so damn happy!! I hate that I have to wait each week, howeverrrrr, I'm stoked to say that I've been here since ep #1!!Keep moving mountains, babe!! ily long time!! 🤩😍

[@kellysalamone]

Thank you for your transparency and honesty! You guys are such an example of maturity, honesty and love in a relationship!

[@aherner11]

Wow, this is amazing to hear that I am not alone. I have kept my mom from meeting my kids and I struggle with if I’m making the right decision. Thank you for bringing this up, and I’m thinking of you guys. Every day is a struggle, but to just keep pushing forward and know you are a much better example for your children. And you will raise two amazing humans!!!

[@verocastillo430]

Finally able to watch your podcast! Love that David was your first guest! You both have worked for hard to be where your now! Love how humble you both are ❤ when he comes back on,can you touch base on how you co-parent?

[@jenniferoquendo3]

I grew up similar to David and it’s so great to see that you can be a great parent outside of religion and you can be a good partner outside of legalism

[@kaylabruner1045]

Watching this whole thing made me love & respect both of you even more! You deserve everything good coming your way. A fun idea would be to have this reversed & let David interview you! I would love to hear more. xx

[@valeriaomana1910]

WOW AVERY YOU DID THIS! You’re a freakin rockstar i love you so much and im extremely happy for you! Wish you all the success 🎊🤍

[@juliaguiney856]

I love David even more!!! What an amazing person he turned into despite his upbringing. love you two!

[@naomiskeete6320]

i enjoyed every second of this. one thing i find super refreshing to hear is that you guys did struggle once. that you two were at a low and had to work for everything you guys have now. i love you two as a couple, and you’re an inspiration of who i want to become someday. iloveyou, cheers🥂

[@arielcoytoy]

What an amazing first ep! Can’t wait for the next one ❤ please don’t feel pressured to have guests all the time cause you (or you & David) are enough!

[@AllThingsGirlyM]

After listening to this Brady and David’s friendship makes so much more sense.

[@megangarcia9666]

I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out why David looks familiar. I just realized I worked with him at a pharmacy, he would tell everyone he was going to be a cop. How amazing to see that he did it and he’s a cop now. So cool. Your little family is adorable!

[@Elliftawi]

Avery you truly are such a great listener. I very much enjoyed this episode thank you both for sharing that with us!

[@mikaylamazur8155]

thank you david for sharing your story it’s awesome to hear all of that and see where you are today with avery! also i do want to say that i am a non-denominational christian and this is not at all how that is, i have some mormon friends and it sounds like mormonism with the courting and everything, i don’t want anyone to think badly of non-denominational christian’s when we are actually the least strict type of christian

[@hayleynewton147]

As a new fan from your TikTok and instagram, I loved learning more about your guy's past. David is so beautifully spoken, I have found myself so intrigued. I can't wait to see your future episodes. I am so proud of how far you both have come. Here's to more episodes 🥂 cheers!

[@gigidiele]

david's intelligence is so admirable and i thoroughly enjoyed listening to his story. congratulations on the pod and thank you for sharing.

[@FlowerPetalSoft]

omgosh i never knew i would relate to david i should not have put this on at work im crying 9 minutes in!!!!! my dad accidentally OD’d i at least have peace knowing i told him i forgave him for everything and love him unconditionally ❤

[@breannagamble]

LEO family here! My husband has a similar history and is a successful K9 handler/insteuctor. We adore you guys! Loved hearing his story and can’t wait to hear the rest!

[@shanashumate977]

David reminds me a lot of my husband. He is also the definition of if he wanted to he would, and he definitely does. You guys are awesome!! ❤

[@mallorymeiners8447]

This was amazing. Bring him back on every other week, I could listen to his stories every day!

[@lacydevore1738]

I’m not gonna be able to wait for S 2 for more David content !!!!!! You gatta make a part 2 this season!!!!

[@royalleashleyasprec2491]

I loved this❤ it’s so nice to see a relationship where you guys truly respect and love each other. I know you’ve mentioned before on Tik tok you guys went through hardships as a couple as well and maybe the next episode you guys can talk about how you guys grew from that and what helped your relationship? If you don’t mind sharing! Love your family❤

[@joccelynortiz527]

I loveeee this conversation, I can relate so much to David's up bringing. Love you guys!

[@shawneeshareen]

Loved this episode!!! Please bring him back! Congratulations on the first episode 🎉

[@soyungrj]

This was such a good podcast!! Thank you David for being open and vulnerable about your past. I’m sorry you had to go through what you went through growing up, but it’s so awesome to see that your outlook isn’t woe is me but instead, this is what made me who I am and I’m stronger for it! I’m also sorry that your experience with Christians and churches was so…not what it should be. I can’t speak for all Christians, but speaking for myself that was not my experience at all and it upsets me that this is what all the churches you experienced were like…the Christianity and God that I personally know is about relationship not religion…we’re a family. Like right now we have a few people going through chemotherapy…we have a chat room or 50 people on a food drop off, school drop off/pick up rotation. We’ve had people open up empty rooms in their homes to young married couples who had it financially rough at the beginning…there’s so many more examples but I hope that your experience doesn’t permanently turn you or anyone else who listened off to Christianity because there are genuine, caring, real Christian’s out there. Sending so much love

[@nataliejensen4605]

Wow this podcast is honestly so great! I have a whole new respect and understand for David and even for you too Avery. This podcast shows such a different side of you than what’s seen on TikTok! Keep it up!

[@christy0217]

Loved it! So great getting to know David even more! Congrats on the launch of the podcast! ❤

[@amararichey5107]

Hearing his and your relationship story is honestly beautiful

[@kreealcott9234]

Omggg I love this! I love you Avery. You have really helped me find confidence, self love, guidance in motherhood. I’m a new mom. I have a one year old and a 3 month old. Both c sectioned so finding your tik tok that day really changed a lot. ✨ You’re one woman I admire and look up to. I’m 24 almost 25, hearing you and David talk about your struggles when you met and had ziggy is so relatable. My fiancé and I are currently going through that and it’s the scariest fucking thing. But watching your videos on tik tok give me laughter, joy, excitement. So thank you! I work full time so does my fiancé to provide for our family. So again I’m so proud of you! 💖✨🫶🏼 I’m excited for more.

[@kylaalfonso8110]

Love this!!! Love to hear David’s story, you guys are so real,not like a typical “influencer” I love it so much, keep being you!🩷

[@FirstToBloom]

Yay Avery! Great first episode, it was nice to learn more about your husband and you.

[@kaylierocha4258]

i love podcasts, and i’m now a HUGE fan for yours!!!! so a great first episode i’m already addicted!

[@gysellgarcia1993]

Avery this was so amazing getting to know David then going into how you guys met! I love this and you have a listener for life! Congratulations 🎉

[@jenicabaker2761]

Okay with the glass skin Avery!! You're beautiful!! You did a great job on your first podcast!! I love it and I'm stuck!

[@Christinek0822]

WOW you both have had crazy lives and the way you guys have found each other is so beautiful and you both are just so fantastic 😭 I’ve watched your Tik toks for a while and now this is great learning about you in a different style! Love you Avery ❤

[@ashleypeoples1449]

THANK YOU for sharing your story David! This is such an important conversation to have. I went to a small Christian college that was structured very similarly to Hillsong, and the religious trauma is REAL.

[@jenagagnon6876]

Love this! I grew up very similar to David and went to Bible college (which had insane rules!) and got married at 21 to a PK and became a youth pastor’s wife. One day I woke up and was like why am I living by all these rules that I don’t think God necessarily wants everyone to live by? My ex wanted me to stay home and have babies, when all I wanted at the time was to be a nurse and he didn’t like that. Now I’m divorced and a travel nurse and living my best life..looking for my mister right ❤ You guys are inspiring! I’m so sorry that the church you guys went to gave you a bad taste of religion..I have found that Jesus is the only one I can count on and have a much healthier view of God now. He is my father and loves and forgives me no matter what I do and I feel like the way I grew up made it seem like God is sitting on His throne judging all of us..which is not true. Now I feel like I’m actually fulfilling my purpose and showing love to others with my career 🙂 Anyways, wish you and your family the best! ❤

[@laurenmelissari3690]

Wow! This was amazing, It felt like it only went for 5 minutes. I can’t wait for episode 2 😍

[@chesackstein4705]

Did not think I’d enjoy this as much as I did. Obsessed!!!

[@Emseitzy]

The way I’ve been waiting for this to release!!! SO EXCITED for this podcast and every episode! 🤍

[@marissahaser245]

I love everything about this!!! Getting insight on you & your husbands background & just seeing that you are genuine, is so refreshing!!! 😊😊

[@EdeglysGranadillo]

I'm so grateful for people like you. Avery, you are THE DEAL and inspiring for us. Kisses from Venezuela 🇻🇪. Keep it up Girllllllll

[@gabby1900]

Wow. Hearing David’s story is crazy - so so similar to my husbands with the religious upbringing! And Avery is so me being taken aback by the craziness of that all. Loved this so much. Truly looking forward to this podcast!! ❤

[@kambellboyd]

i’m already obsessed with this podcast!! thank you for sharing y’all’s story it’s so heartwarming!🫶🏻

[@kaylavaldes311]

LOVE YALLLLLL so excited for this transition into long form content!

[@tamiolsen3328]

Absolutely need more videos with the both of you! So proud of you Avery!

[@emilylopez3225]

I love everything about this. I am literally emotional hearing david's story and I am only 16 minutes in.

[@april_eacape77]

Pretty cool to learn David’s past. I also grew up with “religious” trauma and man. Takes a toll on you. So glad you both found each other. That man adores you! Can’t wait to hear more of your love story ❤

[@_Ina23]

Amazing 1st episode! Thank you for sharing David and congratulations on your podcast Avery!🤍

[@shanaruman5810]

[@Laceygirl089]

This was a great first episode. I honestly didn’t know what to expect with the podcast. I’m glad to hear of David’s life and getting to know him. I can say I was excited for your podcasts and now that I know how they will go, I’m even more excited than ever to keep on watching. I’m so proud of you Avery for filling your dreams and growing into an amazing human being better than the day before! Much respect and love ❤

[@vitaminc2659]

Hearing this much from David was so enjoyable. I love that this podcast gives us a raw look into your life and the people you love🤍 so excited for the rest to come! Congrats🫶🏽

[@ashleyramirez4093]

I love how open and just exposed you guys were. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Cheers!

[@aherner11]

Wow- I thought the first part I felt connected to, but then this religious part, I feel like david is telling the story of my own life! Beginning to end. It’s wild to see and hear. Thank you so so so much for sharing.

[@dreajenkin6]

Wow! I never would've guessed David had a story like that. You two are amazing. This was a great episode! Cheers!

[@chloeloperfito2213]

You are such a beautiful couple. You both have the most genuine souls on this planet. You both have come such a long way. I wish you the best with your career Avery!! Love you guys!💛💞

[@rosamarieee]

It all makes sense now why David is a good man and isn’t a scumbag in uniform how every other man in uniform is portrayed to be. Love you guys together! So excited for you podcast!!!

You two are the cutest. Can’t wait for the next episode! I also was a shift supervisor at a Starbucks in a rough spot where we were always calling the cops so I definitely relate there!

[@danyellelanenga9610]

I got emotional listening to David talk about his childhood with his parents and grandparents because I relate so heavily to all of that! It sounds like my childhood almost to a T… and my grandparents took me in! 🥹🥹

[@heatherroberts1756]

This was amazing ! You can tell how amazing human being David is and you can tell how much you love each other.❤ can’t wait for more episodes! I’m so freaking hooked already!!
