Welcome to Plathville 1.1 - Meet the Plaths
Welcome to Plathville, everyone! As we're pausing Sister Wives content a bit longer I wanted to give you something more to look forward to and this has been by far my most popular request for public feed content.
Lets look at the Plath family. Family communication abounds, both healthy and not so much. This will be fun. I hope you enjoy.

Peaceful pleasant but if you’re going to cover Plathville ya gotta learn to say CAYro Georgia 😂
The Sister Wives Recap You NEED In Your Life
What I like: Dr. Adam really breaks down the verbal and non-verbal cues and body language that the Browns display. He is respectful of pronouns and doesn’t misgender anyone. It’s a great psychological insight and recap podcast for the whole family. What I don’t like: The podcast could be longer. That Dr. Adam signs off with, “More importantly than any of that, I am your friend.” We’re not friends. I can’t come to you with my joys and concerns. We don’t bond over life experiences. I listen to the podcast you make, Dr. Adam. Don’t state a relationship when there isn’t one. Update: Dr. Adam no longer signs off with the friend comment above. I’m a fan of the new closing. Other reviewers have asked why he covers the Look Backs but is on season 2 in the reviews. Because he has just started the podcast. Give him time to get to season 18, if the podcast lasts that long. Update 2: Now with ads. I get it. But, it makes me sad. :(
Kindness, Positivity, Knowledge, and a Bit of Snark
What a kind and gentle podcast full of empathy, compassion, and just the right amount of snark! Dr. Adam approaches the text through a knowledgeable lens of interpersonal communication and body language. He doesn’t let terrible actions slide, but he does provide some understanding. I also love that he promotes compassion for others and for yourself. I appreciate you, Dr. Adam!
