Hey, everybody, welcome. And thank you for listening to this episode of Marriage Therapy Radio.

My name is Zach Riddle. I'm here with Laura Heck. We have a little bit of a mixed bag today. We have a

conversation that meanders a little bit. We go over some things that feel topical to me, like they're

kind of current events that are on my mind and feel relevant to the time. So that's kind of fun. We have a very big announcement

about halfway through the episode that we're excited to share with you and are going to let you

know how you can be involved, which includes inviting you to be a part of our Patreon community.

We are waking that up right now as a little bit of a summer campaign in anticipation of our

big announcement and some other priorities that we're having. And we're really excited about it. It's going to be kind of fun. You can visit that by, you know, finding us at Patreon or just going to marriagetherapyradio.com and letting us know how to connect with you there. Pretty cool announcement. We're very excited to share with you, which we're about to do in just a second. This is a very cool conversation. Stick around.

Did I tell you why I couldn't record today? You did it. I'm doing a, it's called Ladies

All Ride. And it's a, it's a camp just for like adult women. And I'm learning how to

mountain bike. Okay. Sure. Okay. That sounds amazing. Yeah. Yeah. It's such a, it's such a culture. Like, it's definitely a very different scene, even from like road cyclists. Road cyclist, different scene. Mountain bike ladies, totally different scene. But it's bringing together all of these women. It's run by women.

It's coached by women. It's, you learn, like, even, like, technical skills of, like,

bike tech and all of that by women. It's just such a cool organization. And I was shocked,

well, I understand Bend is, is one of those places where people come as a destination.

But there's women from all over the country that have come here to take this camp.

It's pretty incredible.

So it was one of those things where they said, they said, no.

Why did it?

Oh, because I'm here today.

Yeah. No, it's just that they had to move the location due to smoke and bend. And the location is a mile from my house now. And so I bought myself time. And so now I can record this morning. I know. I don't have to do it on the weekend. That's so good. Oh, so we don't have to

meet this weekend. I mean, we still could. We got a lot of catch-up to do because you're going

like all over the world. You're going to like... I know. I know....in away for like three weeks. So we have to like stack them up. Yeah. You're right. It is kind of like three weeks. It is. Yeah yeah we're going to london and greece and rome
