We believe that before we ask our guest to self-analyze their own stories, we feel it’s only fair that we do the same. Despite coming from wildly different backgrounds, we were surprised to find so many common themes. Join us as we discuss the trial and tribulations of two recovering over givers. Strangely, both of our grandfathers on the mother’s side got their higher education in Chicago. Both became professor’s in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and both had wives that got scarlet fever! WTF? Both of us hit our stride in our career in 2011. And between it all we both have had quite the kinky, non-monogamous journey. So different. So similar. Please join us as we gleefully head shrink each other.
