If your win this week is a kitchen floor that's clean for the first time in ages, you've found your people! We start this episode with a pop culture minute where we wonder aloud about the Royal Family's odd handling of Kate Middleton's recent absence from the public eye as well as the public's reaction to the public's reaction. Then we shift our focus to analyze a short video clip of a domestic argument and the responses it prompted on social media. We discuss some of the different ways respect is defined and interpreted in families and by leaders, and we reflect on what we have personally observed about double standards in expectations for socially acceptable behavior. What kind of risks come with upholding a "united front" at all costs? What does it mean when popular narratives have a survivorship bias and what is the minimum we all deserve in our relationships? As always, we have more questions than answers, and we hope you'll join us as we explore them together.
