Today’s episode is about falling in love when you’re just not supposed to.
According to most researchers on the subject, human sexual orientation is a spectrum. The Kinsey Scale for instance, one of the most widely used classification systems, rates people along a spectrum from 0–entirely heterosexual, to 6–entirely homosexual.
There are hundreds of these classification systems all taking into account different kinds of factors. Whatever you may think of any of the various systems, it does appear that each of us is uniquely oriented sexually.
Some of us learn about our orientation very early in our lives, some of us never fully discover who we are sexually, and some of us discover it only after getting married and starting a family.
Today’s guests, Ginny and Jody have a story to tell us along these lines, and they tell it much better than I do. Enjoy!
Ginny has contributed several articles to our magazine. Here are a couple of links if you’d like to read those:

Today’s episode is about how one couple runs a restaurant together, and somehow manages not to kill each other process.
This concept of married couples who work together is something we’ve heard about on the show before, but I wanted to bring our guests today on the show because they’re the rockstars of this balancing act. Adam and Stacy run a very successful and highly regarded restaurant in San Francisco called Bluestem Brasserie. On the show they discuss the one factor that’s both their Kryptonite and their super power. Enjoy the show!

Today’s episode is about optimizing behavior for happiness in marriage. Shane and Jessica, today’s guests have a solidly traditional american marriage. They live in a lovely home in the suburbs of Sacramento, they’ve got two adorable kids, and two very cute cats. They’re friends with all their neighbors, they spend weekends with family, and life is good. But Shane gets occasionally grumpy and dark, and Jessica needs a strong sense control in life to feel completely at ease. In her words, she’s a bit bossy. But they’re both working on these tendencies in themselves, and it’s for the sake of their family, and that’s what makes their story so touching.

Our episode today is about loss and renewal.
We’ve all felt loss to one degree or another. And we’ve all heard about the stages of recovery as well. But the actuality of loss, and specifically the death of a loved one, is something far deeper and more visceral than any explanation can ever capture.
Our guest today, Erin Moon, was widowed after 10 years of marriage when she was 35. The death was a painful one, but Erin has found renewal in loss. Her story is an inspiring one, and it reminds me how in some sense, it’s death that gives each of us our lives.

Today’s episode is about adventure travel. We thought a story about hitting the road would be a good way to kick off the new year.
