Hey, everybody, welcome. And thank you for listening to this episode of Marriage Therapy Radio. My name is Zach Brittle here with Laura Heck. Today we're doing the When Harry Met Sally question. It's the question of whether or not men and women can be friends. This is a question that Laura and I have been exploring for, I don't know, 10 years or so. Comes up a lot on our practices. We also got an email from a guy who was asking about it himself. So we batten around.

We talk about a handful of other guy who was asking about it himself.

So we bat it around. We talk about a handful of other things that are coming up for us in our lives and our practices. One thing that happened this week is we each got a box of our book, Reconnect, which comes out on September 10th. We would love for you to support us and the podcast by pre-ordering the book,

which you can do by going to Marigestrapyradio.com

and click it on the button there that says, pre-order our book. And if you do that, go ahead and send us a receipt, send us an email or a direct message on the Instagram. And our publisher is having a drawing to send out special treats for those of you who get behind the book early. It was really exciting to open the box. It's a gorgeous book. Can't wait for you to read it. But for now, again, we're exploring that one hearing about Sally question. This is a very cool conversation. Stick around. Why do you have energy? I have energy because I think I'm healing my gut. Oh. I know. I know. It's pretty nice. It's like an actual thing that you've been trying to do.

It is like an actual thing.

And I have been, anytime there is a big star in the household, I am like sharing it with my family.

I'm like, I am a pooper today.

It's just really good news.

Yeah. Is that too much? No, but I did have new people, like new clients and they were like, yeah, I got to know you through your podcast. But

the first one I listened to, your partner was talking about pooping, like that she was poop.

I was like, I know. I'm so sorry. Yeah. I just try to normalize topics that are so taboo because here, I mean, it's one of those things

that people don't talk about sex.

They don't talk about poop.

They don't talk about money.

And these are important topics that I just want to normalize it.

And I'm really.

Money is an important topic for sure yes so is

sex but yeah so i just wanted to bring that full circle that i am on i started doing

have i told you my morning routine no i'm very excited about it i have been juicing and it's like an anti-inflammatory juice and it's celery, cucumber,

lemon and ginger.

And I think ginger is probably the big piece.
