Married & Mixed Up

We are TIRED this week! Pardon the exhausted voices on this one. Nilah's going through a phase where the bedtime routine is taking about two hours every night. She's tap dancing all over our nerves, so we're working on being more patient:-) Also this week: - Chris trusted his instincts and left a major project. - Natalie was a little overwhelmed during a school trip and is feeling more signs that she wants to pursue another career. - VERY SERIOUS: Eliana was approached by a strange man who's apparently been hanging around schools trying to talk to kids. We're proud of the way she handled herself. For our listeners in Mannheim, we've shared links below to contact the Polizei. Lastly, we talked briefly about the Roe vs. Wade decision being overturned by the Supreme Court in the US. It's a major step back for women's abortion rights, while furthering a white supremacist agenda. Just do a little research and you'll be shocked at the connections. - Jane Elliot explains the connection between abortion rights & racism: https://youtu.be/WD0kIFp_zzI - Remarks by GOP Rep.

Happy Juneteenth & Happy Father's Day for our listeners in the US! A lot of things happened this week, but we chose to touch on the most important topic which was Eliana struggling with her introverted nature, and Chris helping her understand it. It's a deep subject for him since he dealt with extreme anxiety and depression during his adolescent and early adult years. The extroverted nature of the world can make an introvert feel like an outcast, so it's important to learn how to navigate that properly. This difference drove a wedge between us this week because Natalie is naturally a more outgoing person and couldn't fully understand why Eliana acts and feels the way she does. Lastly, we briefly mentioned the current stock and crypto market turmoil, and our decision to buy and hold rather than panic. Opportunity is abundant, and this is likely only the beginning. Again, we are not financial advisers and encourage everyone to do their own research on this subject.
