Love me a good Tuesday!

I started listening to this podcast shortly after Covid. I’ve learned so much and have applied many of the things I learned to my relationship. The biggest thing for me was a mindset adjustment. Learning to see the good before the bad and assuming good intentions over malicious attacks.
I look forward to each Tuesday.

Too much mindless chitchat

Some good shows but some shows spend a lot of time in the front end just chit chatting without actually discussing the topic until 15-20 min in. Can be frustrating. But appreciate the effort and content when they do stay on topic.

The best relationship podcast 🫶🏼

Zach and Laura are not only insightful and educational when it comes to relationships, but they’re also FUN! I truly look forward to listening to your new episodes every Tuesday and what I can take away and apply to my own relationship! Thank you both so much 💙
