We all get a little depleted every now and then, whether it's from work, life, or social engagements (for our introverts out there). When this happens, how do you recharge your batteries? Courtney and Emily share what they do, which often involves going full slug.

We have a super exciting guest on the show today... Courtney's Swedish/Aruban bestie, Jess Rydh (follow her on Instagram @jessicarydh)! If you struggled in school, this episode is for you. The ever optimistic Jess shares about her learning disabilities and the environments she thrived in outside of the classroom, kicking stigma to the curb one laugh at a time. At the end we go off on a tangent debating which is better: Canada or Sweden? The singing of national anthems is involved.

Today, March 14, is Courtney and Erwin's wedding day! Last week Courtney shared her views on marriage, and we thought it was fitting that her husband got the chance to share his views too. While Emily has a day off, Courtney and Erwin take the time to share how they met, what their relationship is like, and what the future has in store for them as a *married* couple.

Awww marriage, the beautiful institution of finding your soulmate and living happily ever after. Except, for the majority of human history, that’s not what marriage has been about at all. Courtney may be getting married in a week, but she is overall pretty critical of it. In this episode, we talk about the history of marriage, why Courtney ultimately decided to get married, and how she is doing things a little bit differently. Emily makes fun of her the entire time.
