Episode 111 - "You Got to Have A Willingness to Learn" - Nick

We have an extra special mailbox episode this week AND we're joined by our first father, Danai's husband, Nick.

We're also answering letters from a woman who's convinced her boyfriend will never marry her, as well as a woman who's a little too invested in her sister's relationship. This was a fun episode and we hope you enjoy it! Just a note about this week's episode - there is some mild language and adult conversation so it might be best to wear headphones with this one.
