Here's a sneak peak inside the episode:

We chat about how shedding tears is not just a natural response but a powerful release of pent-up energy. It's time we embrace our emotions, and yes, that includes the men in our lives.

We get real about the challenges men face when it comes to showing their softer side. Melly shared her personal desire for her husband to match her vulnerability and the importance of mental check-ins with our loved ones. Plus, we can't forget about our kids – they need to feel heard and supported too.

We explore how expressing needs and setting expectations are crucial for a thriving relationship. We even touch on the proactive power of couples therapy – because why wait for a storm to learn how to sail your ship?

Is it okay to cut off toxic family members? It's a tough one, but we share our thoughts on protecting your peace and curating a circle of positivity.

And for that listener dilemma – should you rekindle a friendship with someone who ghosted you? We offer our takes, and let's just say, we don't exactly see eye to eye.
