  • Judith's Modern Love Essay: "What Shamu Taught Me About A Happy Marriage" by Amy Sutherland
    We both selected essays from the Modern Love column of The New York Times to share with you as bonus episodes this week. All in the spirit of Valentine's Day and love, of course!

  • Childhood and Letters to Our 16 Year Old Selves
    Get out a pen and paper for this one, because you are going to want to write your own letter after this!

You know, the letters telling us not to kiss that one guy, be nicer to our parents, and lean into the heartache of growing pains? But then again, where is the fun in that? This is a good one folks. Tears may have been shed, and closure made!
