In today's episode, we share about our most recent miscarriage. It’s definitely not easy to discuss, but we know that many, indeed MILLIONS, are suffering in silence because the subject matter is still so taboo. We hope you’ll join us as we share our experience with this most recent loss and the hard lessons we learned between our first miscarriage two years ago and today in an effort to build more empathy and understanding around this complicated, all too ‘common’ loss.

Making It Work
06/15/22 • 47 min
As our nation continues to try to process the tragedy at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, we share our concerns and possible solutions to this national crisis. We talk about the documentary we helped produce about the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and compare the safety failures between these two tragic shootings. Searching and imploring our audience to take on this very difficult subject matter, we look for ways to affect a system that unfortunately still allows for these atrocities to exist. We pray for healing for all of the victims families and hope that through discussion and action, not indifference, the lives lost will not be in vain.

Ha! In the intro to 'The Sex Series,' Jordi and Katie discuss times that intimacy has been an issue in their marriage, preserving kids' innocence in this day and age, and Katie (reluctantly) participates in a little intimacy Q&A and is shocked to find out that her husband, indeed, likes 'normal man' things.
