In the aftermath of our divorces, we turned to alcohol maybe a little more than we’re proud of. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do, and sometimes that means not always having the healthiest coping mechanisms. But since then, we’ve stopped going out at much, met our significant others, and developed new goals around longevity, so our drinking h…

Some people find doing everything on their own to be difficult, but for us, it’s asking for help that ends up being the harder task. Asking for help can feel like admitting to failure, not being good enough, or opening ourselves up for judgement and it feels safer to struggle alone than to admit we need assistance. But when we think about it, we LO…

Would you break up with your partner if they didn’t allow you access to their cell phone? It certainly seems like a weird dealbreaker to have, but after going through infidelity at the hands of our exes, we can empathize. Private cell phones (and computers for that matter) are causing new problems that weren’t possible before, and while everyone de…

Are you too old to start an online business? The short answer is yes. The long answer is of course not! Look, we don’t know about you, but we don’t want to take a 20-year-old’s advice about anything.
