About this listen

Nostalgic for the romantic comedies of the 1990s, we discuss that while our lives might be more "This is 40,” we still want to find some "Notting Hill." Why is it so hard for us to be vulnerable, and why do we expect our husbands to be romantic when we criticize them nonstop? We try to find our inner Julia Roberts and emulate her famous line, "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her." Don't worry, it's not just a corny episode but a thoughtful exploration of marriage and family dynamics in 2025.
