Hello, welcome to the show.

This is Emotional Badass, where Moxie meets Mindful.

I'm your host, Nikki Eisenhower, life coach and psychotherapist.

And on today's episode, my husband is joining us, Chris Ayacono.

I'm so happy to have him, and we are calling this episode.

What happens when an Italian Yankee marries a southern bell?

So let's get into it.

All right, y'all, welcome to the show. As you can tell, we've got some changes coming for so many reasons. I'm not going to get into those reasons here. I am going to get into those reasons in a behind the scenes on the Patreon. So if you're interested in knowing why we're making some of these changes. You know where to find that information.

I'm excited to incorporate you, Chris, into the show. I'm excited to show ourselves and to be

able to have more of a male perspective. I think I come from a background of a lot of trauma,

and I think you come from what I would call a background of sort of normal

family dysfunction and I think it's going to give us a chance to really show people how we relate

to one another how far we've each come in our individual journeys and how we help each other

together and I think that's really invaluable.

And I think people are hungry for seeing the authenticity of a real relationship.

And we definitely have a real relationship.

Yes, we do.

And I'm happy that I get to be the male perspective.

I like that title.

I'll put that as my signature male perspective. I'm

going to put it on my resume from here on out and go, hey, what's your biggest accomplishment,

Chris? Male perspective. Emotional badass. That is my biggest accomplishment to date. So for those of you
