We finally went back and listened to the first episode we ever recorded with each other and reflect on how far we've come since then.
Why do we all try to share what's important with us with everyone we come into contact with? Is it ego, survival, love?
We also get down and dirty with the ways we shield each other in life and why that may be holding each of us back. It triggers both of us into some deep, deep processing. Enjoy!
