This week’s Check-in starts by being all about sleep. Jason is battling with his arch-nemesis: sleep. Edward finds out that what he is experiencing for sleep issues right now is what most people live with regularly. Lorri and Jason share with us stories of their frequent bathroom breaks and sleeping habits. We then transition to speaking about bathroom routines, safety, and comfort.

Our Deep Dive this week was inspired by Jason and draws from Edward’s background as an herbalist. We discuss some herbs that have been shown to assist with anxiety and depression and how to prepare them. We also talk about places to look for more information regarding herbal use for this and other ailments. As promised here are several links.

We wrap up our episode revisiting the topic of awkward situations. It’s always uncomfortably funny to discuss awkward situations that have come up in our lives.
