TrailMix

It happens to all of us, we do something, say something; maybe both and realize WOW….that was not a good idea. In the spirit of true transparency, as Mary and Jody promised from the beginning, they decided it was time to really go for it. Take a listen, laugh with them as they share some, unbelievable but true moments.

Why is listening so difficult? Is it just us or do others find it tough to hear and I mean really hear? Well maybe we just find it hard to quiet ourselves. We are diving in, and talking about our successes, failures, and some ideas to chew on….during this episode of TrailMix.

We all have them, we know them when we see them…”THOSE” days. It might be how much sleep we didn’t have or it might just be the weather? Mary and Jody aren’t shy to take head on how to muster up all your “best” self and just carry on. You really can’t miss this podcast AND especially if you are having one of “THOSE” days!

Mary takes the lead on this one since she and Bill are “marriage mentors” and have interesting and valuable experiencehelping “newbies”. Jody is all ears, and the best part of this podcast is that all the info applies to any relationship. And of course, you can’t have “TrailMix” without some “nuts” so we will share some of those goodies as well.
