I am binge-listening to your podcast starting from the beginning. Loving it! You guys have a great rapport together, I love that you get right down to business in each episode, and you present such interesting topics. Keep it going! Such a great show. Love your “fights” at the end of every show. 😊
Very much appreciate the humanity and authenticity in this pod. Going through a separation after 45! Years together ~~ I would never had predicted.
Feeling sane. In such an insane time!
The perspective that is given on the topics addressed on this podcast is so eye opening! To have both male and female insights in the same discussion is brilliant! So often I get myself stuck in life scenarios only recognizing my emotions, so to be able to go deeper into my thoughts on how I may be affecting others has been a gift at being able to not react as intensely! I love the healthy example of arguing/disagreeing with one another!
Great podcast!
