Hey everybody, welcome. And thank you for listening to this episode of Marriage Therapy Radio. My name is Zach. I'm here with Laura. Today, I am telling Laura everything about our trip to Ireland. Rebecca and I had a fantastic time. If you are not interested in hearing about my trip to Ireland, then I suggest that you go ahead and turn off this episode. But if you stick around, you'll hear me talk about the people that we met, the things

that we saw, some of the things that we learned, some of the experiences we had as a couple,

some of what we learned about travel and how travel changes perspective on the world and

on relationships.

I'm going to brag about our tour company, which is called Explorer X.

My buddy Michael runs that company if you are interested in travel or planning something

for your relationship based on adventure and kind of going through a journey of discovery. Then I

can't recommend those guys enough. They put together a wonderful trip for us and I'm so grateful.

I also wanted to give one final plug for the workshop that's coming up for Lauren. I think this literally is the very last minute that you can register. The workshop is this weekend. So if you're listening to this around the middle of October, go ahead and snag that spot if you're still on the fence. If not, we have plenty of opportunities coming up in the new year. Lara also has a weekly series plan for later on in this year. But for now,

I'm excited to tell you and Laura about my trip. I hope there's something in there that you can

take away, something that inspires you to get out and see the world in a new way and see

your relationship in a new way. It certainly was what happened for us. And I think you'll enjoy it.

This is a very cool conversation. Stick around.

Good morning. Hi. What's wrong with you? I am just joyful. I have joy, joy, joy, joy,

down in my heart. Down in my heart. It's because you missed me so much and now you get to talk to me again.

That's probably true. I think that might be it. There's some of that. And also, remember how I told

you I had an eye twitch? Uh, yeah, sure. Sure. Okay. Um, I've had an eye twitch for probably four or

five months. It's been a long eye twitch and it's really annoying and it's creepy as hell

looking at me when it's twitching. So it's my right eye, the upper eyelid and it goes side to side.

And so it looks like, it goes like that. It's so weird. Yeah. Like alien or something.

Mm-hmm. And so I have a really smart, brilliant woman that's part of the lady pod, my triathlon training women, and she's an ophthalmologist and she or an eye surgeon, I don't know the difference.

That she, anyway, she was like, yeah, it's stress or alcohol or caffeine. And I was like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, I engage in all of those.
