🪽 This episode is dedicated to the late Dr. Jamal Dixon, a previous guest whose relentless spirit and advocacy amidst his cancer battle continue to inspire us.
Ep 245 - He beat stomach cancer while in residency 

As we raise a toast to our 10-year anniversary, we can't help but share the pearls of wisdom we've gathered along the way. Especially, lessons from our own relationship journey that's been punctuated with moments of joy, growth, shared dreams, and yes, a few bumps. We unwrap some of the intricate facets of relationships such as understanding and addressing red flags, striking a balance between career and marriage, and the importance of unconditional love. Get ready to journey with us as we navigate these themes.

Life has a funny way of teaching us, doesn't it? As two professionals, we've grappled, compromised, and celebrated the delicate dance between marriage and career. We share our personal anecdotes and how we navigated them. Have you ever encountered a situation where blending marriage, money, and career felt like a tightrope walk? Then this could offer a fresh perspective. 

We then venture into some often overlooked red flags of relationships: 1) not merging finances when starting a family, 2) missing controlling tendencies, and 3) not understanding each other's family dynamics. It's not always easy, but we believe that open, honest conversations can lay the groundwork for a strong partnership. So, join us for this soulful conversation packed with personal insight, thought-provoking discussions, and a dash of pop culture commentary.
