>About This Episode< 
In January 2022, as we began preparing to launch the Mr. Homemaker Podcast, Kristen and I recorded several conversations without a definite sense of if or when we would end up publishing them.  Some of that content was used for our Week Zero introduction of "The Road to Mr. Homemaker."

The attached audio was one conversation that I found particularly fun and illuminating as Kristen and I began feeling our way through and sharing our intuitions and thoughts about work, family, and gender.  I encourage you to listen with your spouse, relatives, or friends - and pause to share your reflections along the way! * Download a worksheet here: https://mr-homemaker.com/processes-%26-tools *

The "Director's Cut" of this discussion - with our full dialogue - is currently available exclusively to our Patrons.  Please consider becoming a Patron and helping defray the costs of production, publication, and marketing so we can continue to "reach more couples trying to navigate these challenging times" ~ while also supporting charities that strengthen marriages or alleviate the hardships that result when men fail to fulfill their responsibilities as husbands and fathers.

- Markus
