EP 157 - Break down on the train - everything cancelled except rest

On the train, en route to the airport in the snow with numerous flight delays, to see Britt's dad (Pa) on Dec 26th, Britt breaks down, flight is cancelled, Pa is called, we turn around and go home.

EP 156 - Signing off for the year - crying in the car, rage room, wintering, how we love.

Britt cries in her car again. Saxon decides to stop doing the podcast. Our life is not content, may we find contentedness in being present more than recording. But I also really believe in recording and time stamping as a way to create culture and history and stay present and listen. A bit of a puzzle but we are figuring it out. Is it helpful to me, to our marriage, to our listeners? It's not helpful for Saxon so he's taking a pause. I am deciding what I want and need to do. For now, I am going into hibernation until January to cry, dream, winter, clean the house and grieve my mother. Thanksgiving was BRUTAL. I don't expect Christmas to be any easier. Seylah's birthday is this weekend. We are here. We love you. Thank you for going on this ride with us. We'll see in you in January - and you can always join Britt on The Overflow - her substack offering - https://imbabyluck.substack.com/

EP 153 - Saxon & Britt convo - the day before traveling to Oakland for mom's memorial.

Lots going on - talking to kids about death and funerals, tears, slideshows, playlists, tasks, anxiety, gratitude, tapping, regrets, anger, resistance, love and family members. All of it's going down as we prepare to fly to Oakland to have this memorial/service/celebration of life - like a surprise party because you don't know who's coming - and a wedding in the size and scope of planning and prep. Wish us luck and we'll see you on the other side!

EP 152 - Everyone's home on a school day

We've all been sick (except Saxon) for two weeks. Kids are coughing so much they have to stay home. Saxon's pitching me a horror film where a kid coughs for a year and the parents slowly descend into madness....

EP 151 - Couple's Therapy (without the therapist!)

It's couple's therapy with no therapist! We finally sit at the same table to check in about what's been happening. Grief is the main attraction. Also work, non profits, money, poop, shame, farts, medical issues, horror films, bodies, botox, wrinkles, love, marriage, sex therapy and lots of trucks drove by. Thanks for your patience and flexibility with us as we move through this intense season of grieving. Love B and S

EP 150 - Our horoscope readings for Saxon's 35th Birthday - just incredible!

high recommend - Tibetan Imports - Sarita will tell you what's up in the stars. It's spectacular, helpful, healing and calming.

EP 149 - Spit in a cup at fed ex, sax's bday, fall, tummy, memorial, hormones. oh and grief

Britt finally spits in the cup, in 2 weeks she'll know what's happening in her genetic body. Scared but needs to know. Saxon and B went to Vail for an adult's only birthday weekend. Talked about money, investment, love. We got our horoscopes done. Britt's so bloated the kids asked if they were going to be big sisters. Lots of grief and stress around the memorial and going through old photos of Britt's mom. Saxon is sick.

EP 148 - Also, lots of cooking. My mom loved my cooking.

I can't cook for my mom anymore, but I can cook lots of chili, vegan tacos and meatballs for my family. All alive. Always hungry.Instead of making a long list and plan and calendar events I am forced to adhere to or else I feel tremendous guilt, what if I did wake up and see how I felt and what I felt like doing? Why does that feel so irresponsible?
