Wow! It's been a minute. Sorry about that. This week we bring Dana's husband, Luke, on the podcast to talk about the epic surprise he pulled together for Dana's golden, 30th birthday. You'll never believe what he was able to pull off!
At the end we talk about how everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and how we shouldn't compare against each other's spouses or highlight reels.
This week, Meg Dodini, our sister in law, joins us all the way from Norway! (Ok fine, she wasn't there when we recorded this, but she is back there now). Meg is married to our brother Sam and they live in Bergen, Norway. Meg is getting her master's degree in dance performance and has broken the internet with her viral dance videos on Tik Tok.
We talk about the temptation to escape from the world and our troubles in unhealthy ways. Do you use social media? Audiobooks? Trash tv? And how do we distinguish between something being a hobby, a passion and escapism? We talk about all of this and more! Join us!

Kindness is a choice. Carter Hult left a legacy of kindness in his short 18 year life even when kindness wasn’t extended to him. In this episode we share some of Carter's own words through the college essay he wrote where he talks about the struggles he faced. Despite being bullied, he chose to see the good in people and proactively seek out those who felt unseen or appeared friendless. Today, in honor of Carter's birthday, we share his legacy and talk about the experiences you, our listeners, have had when someone's kindness changed your life.
Somebody in your sphere of influence needs this message, please share his words, choose one act of kindness today and share your experience using the #kindlikecarter and tag us in the post. Be Cool, Be kind like Carter.
As always, but especially with this episode, we would love for your to share this episode with your loved ones so we can continue Carter's legacy.
