  • Paul, is it alright to talk about this?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this week's episode, Anna and Paul have a candid conversation about their experiences with mental health and how they have learned to work with it. Then they explore how the workforce is dealing with mental health and wellness on the national level and some effective solutions we see.

    They then discuss all things Taylor and Travis. Anna defends this whirlwind romance while Paul takes a more conservative approach - what's not to like but is it too good to be true??

    The episode ends with an intellectual and slightly disturbing recommendation on the French Sauvignon blanc (Sarah Beaty's favorite) from Paul, before Anna heads to France.
