This morning we are talking about listening to understand other people. We are shaped by our individual experiences and we are navigating life the best we can. Even if you don't agree with someone, can you listen to their point of view and actually hear them? It's not always easy, we're discussing it this morning.

There's a lot of bad news online and on tv right now. Maybe you're stressed at work or feeling burned out. What is your mental escape? We'll share ours and we'd love to hear about yours!

Have you heard about 'No Mow May'? It's a growing movement to skip mowing your lawn in the month of May to promote an ecosystem for pollinators like butterflies and bees. We're discussing our takes on it this morning plus other ways you can help our beautiful planet. Also, from electric cars to electric lawn equipment, which of these products interests you most?

How much money do you waste? What do you waste it on? This morning we're talking about what we waste money on, what average consumers waste money on (you're not alone!) and some tips that we are implementing to at least be more mindful about spending. Pro tip: don't tackle all the tips at once, we'll help you navigate where to start.

Summer is coming (we promise!), this morning we are talking about swimwear. Specifically one pieces vs. bikinis. The topic has gotten some national coverage on The Today Show recently and Jess recalls 10 years ago when she didn't fee comfortable wearing a bikini. She'll talk about what's changed for her now.

Could you be (or are you) in a committed relationship with someone whose political and social views drastically differed from yours? 

Do you make commitments to yourself? Do you KEEP your commitments to yourself? We're talking about a few commitments we've made to ourselves, some that we haven't kept over the years and George's newest, big commitment to fitness. If you have made a commitment to yourself and kept it, what tips do you have?

George was having a conversation with someone yesterday about houses and homes and he was asked 'why do you love your home'? Kind of stops you in your tracks, doesn't it? This morning we're talking about houses and homes and what stands out about the first time we ever saw the place we live now. What do you love about your home?

It's Graduation season and on the other side of that coin, Kindergarten round-up season. This morning we are talking about kids growing up and leaving the house. Do you hope your kids seek adventure outside of their hometown or stay close to home? Also here's the link for the Tik Tok video we were talking about. Consider this your warning to watch with Kleenex in hand. https://www.tiktok.com/@rubytuesday4u/video/7085179902877584683?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

We were honored to have been featured in the Sunday Currents section of our area newspaper. Yesterday morning George went to the store, picked up a couple of copies and brought them home. Imagine seeing your photo across the entire front page of the Currents page and the first letter of your name being swapped.  Yep, George and 'Bess' Podcast. So, how did Jess react? Listen to find out as we discuss 10 signs you're maturing.
