what if he's gone half the time?
In this conversation, Laura and Crystal discuss the importance of communication and collaboration in a relationship where one partner has a demanding job. They emphasize the need for shared lists, being informed and curious about each other's lives, and offering support and validation. They also highlight the importance of renegotiating roles and responsibilities as circumstances change, and the need for ongoing conversations and self-reflection. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the value of practical considerations and seeking advice from others in similar situations.

is it a case for older men or is it a case for girl bossing?
Crystal and Laura discuss a viral article from The Cut titled 'The Case for Marrying an Older Man'. The article argues that marrying an older man provides women with ease, flexibility, and liberation from the burdens of womanhood. Is that what's it doing?

what if he's trying, but it still isn't working?
In this episode, we discuss a listener's email--she wants to know what to do if her partner is on board but, because of his ADHD, isn't able to follow through. We also touch on our own examples of how each of our neurodivergence shows up in our partnerships--how can we take responsibility for our actions and behaviors while also balancing disabilities and deficits?

Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast
I love this podcast so much! I follow both Laura and Crystal on other socials and their podcast has helped me so much! Each week I wait, not so patiently, for another episode to be released. Their content and backgrounds make this podcast so relatable and helpful.
Great podcast, for all people. Listen! You’ll be glad you did.
Laura and Crystal bring a wide range of topics up for discussion. They somehow make everything from pop culture/media to personal relationships interesting and often relatable. Speaking from an honest place they offer insight into self growth, exploration of stereotypes that so many of us live by or are familiar with and doing so from a place of clarity and inspiring curiosity. They are open about their own experiences and offer relatable views on the daily life of modern people, women, moms in all walks of life. Refreshing takes on viral content. A healthy example of friendship and absolutely inspiring. Thank you for this podcast, and all of the work you are both doing in the world and on social media.
Helpful and Validating
I stumbled upon this podcast after hearing one of the hosts on another podcast and I’m so glad I did. Both hosts are well informed, relatable and funny. While every topic may not strike my specific circumstances, I find value in their conversations. This is especially true when talking about neurodiversity, communication tools and setting expectations. Thank you for helping me peel the onion that is late diagnosed ADHD.
