Episode 6---The Episode Where We Talk About All The Crap We've Been Through

Adversity. Sounds like such a powerful word, doesn't it? It doesn't feel powerful when you're facing it. Hubby and I may look like we've got our $hit together now, but let me tell you, we've stared down some pretty tough times in our 23 years together. In this episode we talk frankly about what it was like to be married and broke 21-year-old college students,  running away from our problems by literally fleeing across the country, the shock of young parenthood, the heartbreak of infertility, and getting ourselves back on track financially and emotionally in our forties.
