    I look forward every week to your podcast. You bring joy, sparkle and optimism to my week. In our current national climate of anger and tribalism, you offer a much needed and appreciated antidote. With you two, the glass is always much more than half filled and we need that.

  • Thank you.

    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).

  • Thank you

    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.

  • Elizabeth & Margery are always there for me

    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.

    There have been so many times that episodes of BTTN have resonated strongly for me, but after listening to Bolt Hole episode 2, I knew I had to leave a review. My dad was and incredible person who died of a sudden illness in August/September and I’ve never known grief like what I’... more
