This episode is all about when life feels entirely out of control. Previous episodes have focused on learning to live life through the lens of "discovery." The problem is that when life feels upside down, "life as discovery" is meaningless. What first needs to happen is to stop drowning! This episode is all about how to patch the gaping holes of life so we can get our boat afloat again.

I invite Angie Long on for a third time to discuss how friendship in romance is a defining characteristic of an enduring relationship and how to cultivate it if we don't have it. 

Angie and I put our brains together to develop a simple Journal template to facilitate regular introspection leading to deeper affection and connection with the people we love most. You can snag it for FREE here. Matt also will provide a short video tutorial to show you how he uses templates like this one regularly in his life with a journal application called DayOne.

It has been a year since this pandemic began its devastating effects on the US.  It was literally on my birthday (March 11th) when the US began its lockdown and the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. I took this week to think about some of the lessons I have learned so far from this difficult year. What have you learned from the pandemic? I would love to hear! You can email me your own reflections at [email protected].
