So happy to present episode 21 and part one of what I’m calling, the 'love series.' The love component is something I’m interested in exploring more extensively in season 2 and Emily Chen joins me as my guest co-host as we sit down and chat with one of our favorite couples, Tim and Jacinda McLaughlin.  Tim and Jacinda are one of the few couples who I have been round and have shown me what love can look like. For most of my life, I’ve felt very apprehensive towards married life and after being around them, I’ve definitely changed my tune and have a much more positive outlook on partnerships. We talk about how they met, the instant connection they felt, some of the obstacles they faced and ultimately how they blended their two families together.
