Listen Later

Andrea Gibson returns with their partner, Megan Falley, for a gorgeous, hilarious double date with Glennon and Abby:


  • An Andrea health update and what each has learned since Andrea’s cancer diagnosis;
  • How their chemistry ignited with Andrea’s questionable move on a sweaty dance floor – and the text moment Andrea knew Megan was the one;
  • How each of their relationships with their bodies has been transformed by Andrea’s illness;
  • Navigating a relationship where one partner worries constantly and the other doesn’t know how to worry; and 
  • Why love looks like peeing your pants, and how they keep putting themselves in the way of miracles.
