We have an extra special mailbox episode this week AND we're joined by our first father, Danai's husband, Nick. We chat with him about what it's like being a father of mixed kids and how life has changed for him. 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.

We are hopping over the Pacific Ocean to speak to our first Australian guest, Farai. We're chatting about interracial dating in Australia vs Canada, hair relaxers, and more.

It was such an honour to chat with our guest, Sakura, this week in this extra special longform edition of the podcast. We do a deep dive into systemic and structural racism in Canada and Japan and discuss how Sakura's unique racial identity has shaped her parenting style. We also discuss a letter from a mother who's concerned about her daughter's self-esteem, and we're discussing the documentary 'Desconstructing Karen'. So much to unpack this episode but we promise - it's a good one!
