Episode 18 - Let's Catch Up

After an unplanned break, Don and El are back with a warm and honest check-in. In this unscripted episode, they reflect on why life got so full, what’s been going on behind the scenes, and how burnout, masking, and executive dysfunction have played a role. From shifting their podcast schedule to changes in Don’s job and El’s emotional journey through rearranging furniture, they share what’s felt heavy, what’s lightened the load, and how their partnership continues to offer balance and support. A beautifully meandering conversation full of self-awareness, humour, and hard-won insight.
