The Marriage Contract

Concluding our first season we end with a discussion about money. Not an instruction on how to have more money or how to properly manage it, but more along the lines of removing the stigma of talking about finances and normalizing the struggles associated with the financial burden we all face. If you are looking for a good podcast that gets into the nitty gritty of finances I highly recommend “How to Money” you can find them wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this episode we are talking about the funny, weird, and sometimes scary things kids do! We also talk about what our personal goals for parenting are and how we try to nurture our marriage while in the midst of parenthood. We also feature some stories from our listeners!

On this episode we delve into politics. We speak especially about how our politics have changed since we got married and how we came to the beliefs we hold now as a couple not just as individuals.
