    Our final session with our therapist

    Our final session with our therapist

    It’s often the small things that make or break a relationship.

    In our last session with our Communication Coach, James Fish Gill, we revisit some of the big (small) popcorn moments that have impacted our relationship most, as well as the baby number 2 scenario… 

    Thanks for coming on the journey with us!

Thank you!

I loved listening to you on the radio and then on your podcast…I was pregnant at the same time. Now we are in the same position of number two. It’s been so nice hearing raw honesty from both sides about this journey, it’s been like therapy. Almost have to prepare myself to listen as it’s a lot… but so helpful. Thank you guys! :)
