The Garden Fresh Podcast

Have you ever found yourself contemplating the intricacies of adulting? From navigating relationships, coping with unexpected scenarios to dealing with a toxic workplace, we've all been there. On this podcast, my wife Mary Kate, a clinical mental health therapist, joins me to share her insights on these subjects, drawing from her rich experience in the field. Imagine coming home to find a car rolled into your driveway, damaging your vehicle and leaving a mess of knocked-over trash cans. This week we take fan submissions that lead to some interesting scenarios to think about. One submitter, found himself in this exact predicament. But what happened next will not only make you chuckle but also get you thinking about actions and their consequences. Married to a single parent? Ever been in a room with an immature adult at the workplace? We discuss these and more, providing a fresh perspective on the dynamics of relationships, the workplace, and the quirks of life. We cap off the episode with an amusing tale of an unexpected guest during a family vacation - a 420 festival. We explore the implications of such a situation if we had children present and also discuss the concept of homeschooling while traveling. This episode is a melting pot of insights, experiences, and laughs. Join us and Mary Kate as we traverse through these intriguing pathways of life.Support the show
