What a year it has been! We noticed some major themes in our episodes over this past year – this was our chance to review and discuss the fascinating conversations we’ve had about men’s mental health, trauma, family dynamics and parenting, women’s mental health, and mental health support. We also discussed our hopes for the next chapter of the podcast. 

Most importantly, we decided to practice what we preach in encouraging others to be vulnerable and courageous; in that spirit, we share something exciting at the end of this episode!

Thank you to all of our listeners for your continued support. We look forward to 2022!

Is it possible for psychology and spirituality to coexist? The lines blur when a person seeks spiritual support; which often looks like counselling. Evan shares his perspective on navigating this boundary, as a Pastor. 

This conversation spurs some of our reflections about the pandemic. It goes without saying, life has been challenging. We explore a daring idea: could positivity and hope come from our pandemic experiences?

We close this episode with Christin and Evan’s inspiring and surprising story of growing and establishing their family in the face of fertility struggles and the adoption process.
