How We Met (Part 4)

F*CK'N AUTHENTIC

Friends, this episode is gonna be a powerful one. Reflecting on some hard truths, we’ll land on how our family unit became disconnected. And the amazing thing is how after all these years, we are still learning about each other and ourselves. And that’s exactly what happens in this episode.

We explain how we coped with life’s pitfalls when we made our careers a focus of our lives and how feelings of failure put a strain on our relationship with our son. We tell you how we at first felt about his wife and the grandchildren that we have come to fall in love with. We reflect on each other as parents and partners and the importance of making choices, learning from failures, and appreciating each other's support during difficult moments.

You’ll hear how we’ve come to accept our past decisions and what our hopes are for the future. While we embrace each other’s different personalities and how we complement each other in raising our family, our love only grows deeper along with our admiration for each other.
