Is this just what happens as you get older, or is there something deeper going on? We get into the psychology of time, how routines and responsibilities change our perception, and why l

With a new baby on the way, parenting suddenly feels different at this stage of life. We’re older. A little calmer. Maybe a little more tired. And we’re ra
We Took the Happiness Test… and It Backfired
In this episode, Jason and Emily break down the famous 85-year Harvard Study on Adult Development, the one that followed people for decades to figure out what actually makes for a good life. It turns out it’s not just money or success, but relationships, purpose, stress, habits, and how you handle conflict over time. Naturally, instead of calmly reflecting on this like mature adults, they ranked t
Are Women Carrying the Social Weight?
There’s a term floating around the internet called “man keeping.” The idea? That women often carry the mental and emotional load of maintaining friendships, family connections, holiday plans, thank-you notes, birthday texts, and basically the entire social ecosystem of a household. Meanwhile, many men… just don’t think about it. Or don’t care in the same way.

This week we are recording from our car, so sorry in advance for the audio. But we have a good topic for you: choosing your battles.

From the small arguments that are not worth the energy to the big moments that shape life together, we

Why does every town in America feel exactly the same? You pull off the highway and it’s the same Applebee’s, the same Walmart, the same McDonald’s, the same beige strip malls with the same parking lots.
