Summer is winding down and we find ourselves in that in between space-caught between the freedom of summer and the structure of autumn. In today's episode, Jim sits down with his wife to catch up on life. He's been pushing through the season's most intense heat in preparation for his upcoming marathon, while she continues to dive more deeply into esoteric interests and admittedly, a moderate TikTok obsession. Together they trade reflections, observations and laughs in a conversation that wanders all over nowhere. Enjoy!

Jim and his wife sit down to record for the first time in months to talk about the recent passing of their dog, marathon training, Aruba, family, their relationship and acceptance of reality. Enjoy!

This episode was recorded two weeks ago. Jim and his wife talk 10 year wedding anniversary, new hobbies, that podcast called The Telepathy Tapes, whether or not Jim is brained washed, his wife's ever evolving journey inward, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni ... and so much more.

Welcome to the end of the year. In today's episode Jim and his wife talk about what has been going on for them in recent days as well as the thing about a nightstand, a full cup of water and an iPad...The kids have been home for the holidays! Drones and Hollywood and local comedy club shows. Jim talks about what went well for him this year and how he takes the lead at home. And finally, have you seen the movie, Past Lives? We REALLY liked it. Don't listen to us talk about it if you do not want to hear any spoilers. Also, spoiler; Jim's wife gets teary as she reflects on what the movie awoke in her as it relates to her most recent realizations, ever-going healing and life lessons. It's good stuff. Enjoy.

Hello and we are back coming at you with so many updates as life keeps on keeping on. Jim and his wife have been learning so many interesting things about themselves and most of this episode is a conversation about those things... Enjoy.

Jim and his wife are talking about the current headlines in their little world today. Enjoy.

Hello! Today we are reporting on Jim's "obsession" with Noah Kahan and the news that most captures his attention... and why? We connect over our reflections on our ever-evolving family. Jim's wife is realizing that she is experiencing a rebirth, in a way.... We dialogue some about psychoanalysis school, how parenting with only one at home has Jim's wife feeling so chill much of the time, but could someone please do something about the weekly school emails situation?! My gawd.

Eleven years together. Our most recent realizations about ourselves come from the kids moving out. Leaning in or letting go with what we fear? People pleasing parent or possessive parent? You're probably leaning in the direction of one or the other. Repeating history, the idea of intergenerational trauma and how most of us are dealing with it in some capacity. Where does it show up for us? The royal road to awareness, Jim offers his personal thoughts on the emerging field of psychedelics in mental health.

This episode is far and wide reaching in topics... Jim's puzzling communication, aging parents, aging kids, weird times. The move to a new home that still does not feel like home even though you know eventually it will era. A reflection on parenting and owning controlling behavior blind spots and the consequences of owning such behavior. Individuation. Individuation. Individuation.

Also, landlines, Sears. Gen Z: from Youtubers to retail.

It has been a bit chaotic over here for the past couple of weeks. We sat down a few days ago to record but we were interrupted in the middle of our conversation. We had planned to return to recording but then we didn't. However, we wanted to share what we have of a discussion over our experience related to moving two of the kids into college and how it's been for us in the days following. This episode does end abruptly and there isn't a closing of any sort. We apologize. Maybe you'll get something from our discussion or maybe you won't! Happy back to school season!
