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 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.
