When Elizabeth Ries and Margery Punnett hosted a myTalk 107.1 radio show together, they joked that their most personal conversations happened during the commercial breaks.

Thank you. You two are truly genuine and honest. I often think about Margery’s insight on grief and how intentional their love was near Ian’s passing. I struggle with anticipatory grief as my husband battles cancer and I hold true to being intentional and love each moment we have together.
(…and when life is hard, I lean into Jesus and then spend time with my chickens).
I can hear Marjorie really well but Elizabeth is g across too soft get close to the Mike Elizabeth
I’ve never written a review before, but I just had to thank you for sharing your grief journey. I lost the love of my life 5.5 years ago. He was only 64. Your words, that brought all of the tears, is very healing.
I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning. I listened to Ian & Margery on 107, then Margery & Elizabeth. I watch Elizabeth on tv. I just adore you two and the dynamic of your deep friendship and wisdom.

Love, love, love this show. But I really need to stop listening on my way TO work. We need a tear warning on these episodes!
