Listen in as and recap the final IVF transfer of this seven year journey of building their family. How was this time so very different than all the others?

22/02/2024

190. We've come to a decision: Doing a hike for the first time, everything is new. You feel the incline, you notice the trail markers, you are more aware of the sunlight, the distance, the ground under your feet, the unknown of it all. Do that same hike two weeks later, and it feels shorter, you stop noticing the what the trail head looks like, or where the first incline comes in, it feels shorter, more familiar, more predictable.

When you do something again and again, does it become muscle memory, is there still room for uncertainty? fear in the unknown? It might be the same hike, or another embryo transfer, or having a second kid but what gets forgotten in the repetition? what fears are quelled? what new things come up?

the beginning of 2024 and Marisol and Adam are diving into their financial planning conversations for the year.

187: Being Intentional; As the year comes to a close, Marisol and Adam discuss why they set new years intentions and why being intentional is important to their relationship as a whole.

186. Emotional Labor: Adam and Marisol discuss the busyness around the holidays and how it can be harder to connect with your partner. They wanted to talk about quick connections and making small moments matter, but Marisol has a bone to pick with Adam and the couple quickly shifts gears into a different conversation around feedback, taking in criticism, the how the mental load and emotional labor looks different for men and women.

21/12/2023

185: Holding Multiple Truths: You can disagree with someone and still respect them. You can love parenthood and be resentful of what it did to your body. You can love your husband and not like him in the same moment.

Holding two truths can be both difficult and necessary.

Marisol and Adam reckon with dialectical thinking in this episode as they hold space for both not wanting to have their child undergo surgery, and having their child undergo surgery. Neo had eye surgery this past week and as he recovers, Marisol and Adam recount their experience with both Western and Alternative medicine. As a follow-up to last week's episode, Adam recounts a dehumanizing conversation with his son's Doctor after asking a question about his medical care and treatment. Adam explains how the couple often finds themselves in the middle when it comes to medical care (and many other issues). Listen in as the couple discusses holding multiple truths, like "science is real" and "other alternatives may work too" and how these concepts are often met with shame, dismissal, and judgement, instead of a more open and respectful conversation.
