    0:11.8

    that we'll hear from Laura, but this is her finale. We recorded a bunch of reflections on what the last

    0:18.4

    seven years have been like for me and for her and for us.

    0:22.2

    She gives us some insight into some of her New Year's plans as she heads into the next

    0:28.8

    phase of her life. Again, I just want to say that I am so happy for her that she is choosing

    0:35.1

    to turn her attention into some new directions. And I am sure I'm positive

    0:41.0

    that our friendship will continue. But this is the end of Laura's time on marriage therapy radio.

    1:48.9

    with you. And I said, that's so funny. I also have a bone to pick with Zach. I am currently in a

    1:53.4

    fight with him at this very moment. And they got a good giggle at that. Yeah. But I chose to brush it off
