- Improving the quality of wording
The frequent use of “like” is part of what reveals that you are 20-30 years younger than me. See if an expert can help you lose that “irritant.” Otherwise, I find you carry on a very relatable conversation!
I’m glad this podcast popped up for me today.
Happy Easter Season to you.

I work in marriage preparation ministries and have been married for 13 years. These conversations are so honest and truly helpful. I’m grateful for your vulnerability and insights!
Apple Podcasts5Sick in summerUnited Statesa year ago - The confused podcast
This couple with good intentions want to create a channel that attract young couples, preferably Catholic or Christian families. However,it is very difficult to me in some programs to follow where are you going with the conversation. Other times he interrupts her and visceversa, so at the end I get completely lost what was the topic about.
