In this rollercoaster of an episode, Adam and Danielle get into a REAL conversation about what is still missing in the conversation about body image. Adam is honest about his thoughts on Danielle's weight gain, and the two get down and dirty about why they're both a little petrified for the future. Danielle reveals why she often wonders if she's "broken," and Adam reveals why he's been able to step up in a way he never has before. Plus, Adam hilariously throws Danielle under the bus concerning all of the ridiculous things she did while high, and Danielle calls Adam out on his "conditional love." Plus, what's with all the insane, recent orgasms?

Recently, Danielle heard something on Tik Tok that really struck her: "are we all just spending the second half of our lives recovering from the first half?" This got her thinking about all the things we're taught for so long while growing up, only to figure out that all of those messages and concepts are all just a bunch of BS. Are we all too "gaslit" to even know what we, as individuals, even want in life? How can we separate our own goals and desires with those we've been TOLD we should want? In this interestingly nostalgic-yet-eye-opening episode, Adam and Danielle discuss:

  • why weren't they taught more preparedness strategies for life in school, rather than subject matter that has proven to be almost totally obsolete
  • why Danielle is no longer looking back on elementary school through rose-colored glasses, and how she thinks the whole experience affected her self-esteem
  • who the "cool kids" were in school, as opposed to who should have been deemed "cool"
  • what messages were Adam fed about what being a boy means?
  • what messages was Danielle fed about what being a girl means?
  • what did they both get wrong about body image, and what do they now realize?
  • in what ways have movies and TV shows helped in disseminating so many false messages
  • is chivalry still allowed?

and so much more!

Marriage and Martinis - 113. "The World Needs More Listeners," With Oscar Trimboli
play

03/30/20 • 87 min

Now, more than ever, our communication skills are critical to helping the people around us who need to be heard and understood. We may not be able to be there physically for one another, but we can still be a huge source of comfort, support, and consistency for those in our life who rely on us. Our kids are used to having several adult influences throughout the day, and now they are basically reliant on us for all their learning and communication needs. Our partners usually leave and have other connections and shoulders on which to lean. We are taking on a new huge role with them, as well (and they are with us). In this episode, "deep listening" expert Oscar Trimboli discusses several useful, simple strategies we can all use on a daily basis to become more effective listeners, and show up for our people in ways we may not have been before. Only about 2% of the population is skilled in listening, and the rest of us think we know what it means to be active listeners, but really, we have very little understanding about its true meaning. Oscar's goal is to turn 100 million people into better listeners. Danielle and Adam were so excited that he agreed to help them and their audience become some of those people. Some topics in this episode include:

How Oscar became so obsessed with listening, and why he thinks it's the key to success in business, at home, and in society.

What are some ways we can better listen to young children?

What are some ways we can work on keeping calm and not jumping in when having a discussion with our spouse?

What is the 125/400 rule and why is it so crucial?

What are the different levels of deep listening?

How do we show up for the people in our lives who are struggling and truly need someone to be there for them as a listening ear?

Eve Rodsky has committed her life to help couples achieve a happier and more fulfilling life as partners tackling the domestic and household responsibilities. Not only did she interview hundreds of couples and research for years about the stress of "the mental load," but she has come up with real solutions. Especially now, during the pandemic, moms are feeling the overwhelming stress of home, work, and school all coming together in one forum, and the burden at times feels like too much to bear. How can both spouses in a marriage ensure a more equal role? How can we communicate these issues without causing fights and divisiveness within a relationship? Eve is an extraordinary woman who is on a mission to make it better. And it's working. We highly recommend you listen to this episode with your partner, or have them listen separately and then discuss.

Marriage and Martinis - Marriage Is Not A Requirement, With Author Lyz Lenz
play

02/19/24 • 61 min

Lyz Lenz grew up religious, in a household that taught their children that marriage is the only option, and divorce is totally off-limits, with the possible exceptions of infidelity and/or abuse. But 11 years into her own marriage, she knew she couldn't stay, even though the reasons for wanting to leave were different than what she had been taught were valid and acceptable. In her new book "This American Ex-Wife, How I Left My Husband And Started My Life," Lyz intertwines her story with a broader one: that of how the institution of marriage is obviously not working as it exists right now, and why we need to change the narrative on marriage and divorce. In this episode, Danielle and Lyz discuss myth vs. fact when it comes to marriage, divorce, single motherhood, and what "happiness" actually looks like. Plus, what does Lyz want women to know about marriage and divorce that no one else will tell you? And no, she isn't anti relationship, or even marriage. But she is in favor of coming together to figure out what society needs to do to make it be more fulfilling and beneficial for everyone who decides to enter into this union.
