In today’s episode we share about what has been happening for us recently. It is a different kind of episode, with a tone that is different to our usual discussions. This conversation covers how we approach conflict, the importance of space, external stresses on the relationship, communication styles and so much more*.

*We also manage to pivot the conversation at the end away from the heaviness and turn our attention to our obsession with F1 & Drive to Survive.
