Chrissy and Ryan are back at it with one of their best friends and pastor, Lee McDerment. We clarify early on that Lee is not a licensed counselor, so do not treat this information as such, but it could be useful to hear. The questions of "how is your soul?" and "what do you rate your marriage from a 1-10?" are answered and picked apart and we probably went a little deeper/more vulnerable than we were planning, so you better listen and find some value. This is another ep to make you feel less alone in the business world with your partner and we hope that it make a lot of you feel seen and maybe a little more understood!
