40 North Podcast

You are either learning to grow together or drifting apart. How strong are your relationships?

No matter who they are with, relationships are the most important things we have in life.  And knowing how to build and maintain them is one of the most important life skills.  But are we truly spending the time needed to work on them, or are we just going through the motions?

In this episode Joe and Tara candidly discuss what has got them through some of the darkest times in their seventeen-year marriage, and what they are now doing to keep it going strong. It’s not just about marriage though.  They dive into relationships with their kids, parents and friends in an effort to know if they are truly investing enough.

Join as they tackle the difficult discussions surrounding relationships and try to answer their own questions such as, do we take them for granted?  Are we getting the most of them?  What do those around us think of the relationships we have with them?  How can we make them stronger?  And, can we evolve the ones we currently have?

You are sure to relate on some level to this, first in a series, of relationship talks.  And in the end hopefully come out with a little piece that you can plug into a relationships of your own in order to make the most of it.

Discovering something new is a large part of the 40 North journey.  And for Joe & Tara, food may just be their favorite experience.

The food journey is a long, if not lifelong journey.  One that you can take on your own, share with a loved one, friend, or include the whole family.  But taking on the challenge to discover food can be overwhelming.  As two later in life foodies, Joe & Tara have immersed themselves in the experience, still learning something new every day.  Luckily, along the way they have had some professional help from some accomplished chefs and food influencers.  That passion and knowledge that was instilled in them is what they now want to share with you.

Perhaps food has always peaked your interest and you are just now thinking of beginning your journey.  Maybe you want to up your entertaining game or take on charcoal grilling, get a little more adventurous or gain some inside industry knowledge.  This episode has something for you.

If you are new to this, be sure not to blow past some of the rules that were passed down to Joe & Tara.  They will help guide you towards your own amazing 40 North food experience.

We all need a little therapy, right? That is just one of the topics discussed in this episode with Licensed Psychologist Dr. Joseph Buonadonna. Dr. B is not just any Psychologist, he is Joe’s dad, which makes for interesting conversation.

In this first of a series with Dr. B, Joe & Tara turn to a professional to figure out if the concept of 40 North is attainable, what it would take to get there and if can one do it on their own.

Join as they discover why “40” is such an important number that does not just represent an age but a dynamic transition in life. They will discuss why self-reflection plays such a large part in the journey and how mindfulness could help you get there faster.

And while Dr. B’s in house, why not get a little free advice on how to cope in the day and age of COVID-19.

It is not all serious, as you will hear Joe inject his opinions about mindfulness and psychology as Dr. B calmly explains how the craft has evolved and is not just focused on treating the sick, but helping all of us be healthy as we attempt to live our best lives.

There is certainly a little for everyone in this 40 North episode of “Meet Dr. B.”
