Welcome back to Heaving Busams, the podcast were two best friends recap romance novels while giving you a look into the labyrinths which are our brains and friendship. This week our Patreon shout out

goes out to Bridget M.

Bridget, you are a modern day high priestess of Nike,

the goddess of strength and victory.

As a devout worshipper, you know your goddess has been a little misunderstood over the years,

because there's more to life than just winning.

Nike is the deity of all the hard work and training that has to go into any endeavor before a victory can be assured.

Like your lady, you know that self-improvement can always be attained with the right attitude, tools, and sense of commitment that is bones deep.

More than that, you've come around to the notion that you, just as you are, are worth all of the effort and long hours.

Furthermore, you're the embodiment of Nike's most well-known role in ancient times.

Divine Cherryateer.

Just like she flew around the battlefields, rewarding victors with glory and fame,

you lift up those around you on a daily basis. You're an amazing role model, not only

because of your hard work, but because of your innate sense that a rising tide lifts all

boats. You're the cheerleader everyone needs and they

can't help but be inspired by your actions as well as your effervescent support.

And now we bring you the first of our maternity leave episodes.

Sweet Jesus, I really hope I have had this baby by the time this episode airs.

Aaron teamed up with her longtime friend and full-on dude bro, Cole.

Cole is the girl first she references and is also an attorney so keep that in mind when you're listening to them discuss

The marriage contract by Katie Robert. Here we go.

Yeah, I'm ready.
