The Nuanced Life

After great feedback, we discuss how we want our kids to feel about money and how we treat marriage like consumers. 

After hearing from so many of you who also grind and/or clench their teeth at night, we discuss how we do (and don't) deal with stress and pressure.

We discuss listener feedback on our conversation about sex, which we realized barely scratched the surface! Many listeners shared this fantastic article about how different men and women view sex (particularly bad sex). 

In our continued exploration of things-we-don't-discuss-enough, we talk about the social classes we grew up in and our feelings about money.

On this week's show, we share Julia's feedback about our ongoing discussion of #Whole30 and what that means for intuitive eating and healthy at any size. We also get vulnerable and have an extensive conversation on our introduction to sex, sex inside and outside marriage, and all the ways we think (and talk) about sex need to change.

Thanks so much for listening to the Nuanced Life! Today, we discuss parenting during endless snow days and Kerry's feedback on the jenga pieces needed for a working family. 

We also Oprah's conversation with Paul Williams and Tracey Jackson on Super Soul Conversations. Paul Williams is the songwriting legend that shared the six affirmations that helped him turn his life around. 

1. Something needs to change, and it’s probably me.
2. I don’t know how to do this but something inside me does.
3. I will learn from my mistakes and not defend them.
4. I will make right the wrongs I’ve done wherever possible.
5. I will continue to examine my behavior on a daily basis.
6. I will live my life in love and service, gratitude and trust.

We share The Paradox of Our Time.

We spend a few minutes on Golden Globes fashion (spoiler: we're all about the black dresses and jumpsuits) before diving into Sarah's favorite topic: KonMari.
