Cracking the Code

I keep a list of my favorite podcast episodes so I can go back to them easily when I need insight and inspiration. Many of the conversations on Finding Mastery make the list. That’s because Dr. Gervais continually cracks the code of the greats. He gets them to open up in ways they don’t in other conversations. His genuine curiosity paired with his masterful psychology skills lead to a win for all of us - the guest, the listener and of course, Dr. Gervais. Thanks for cracking the code, it’s making a difference!

I have good news for both Lisa (your wife) and you.
I heard the Valentine’s episode, and I just wanted to ease her mind. Life is about connection..
My paternal grandparents had quite a love, but they also had many differences the most visual and pertaining to this point was my grandmother(Momo) was 18 years older. My grandfather(Popo) took care of her as she passed. It was a beautiful thing to witness.

Popo did fall in love again, and because life is about connection, he even married Grandma Betty. The only grandmother
my younger sister (Michelle) ever really knew. Although momo was still in the conversation.

So, I just wanted Lisa to hear this and know if she loves you the way I know she does she ease her mind, because you that way too
