We met at a fraternity party 5 years before we started dating. MySpace almost ended hopes of our relationship back then. Yahoo Messenger brought us back together. We don't claim to know it all, but we have a multitude of experience when it comes to building healthy relationships of any kind. We hope that by sharing our core values, bumps in the road, and lessons we've learned, that we can help and grow with anyone who is also striving to build healthy relationships in their lives.

Why you mad episode

Just started this one and I am so much like Mia. It’s blowing my mind, I’m super vocal, opinionated not afraid to say my piece. But also like Mia I can kind of bulldoze another person In how they handle conflict, and feel very right about my point.

Anyway, this is a great podcast so far and I look forward to listening to more!
