Dear Derek, communication is a valid struggle for people with ADHD. I’ve lost many friends over this. I now put check ins in my Calendar. Check in with son, check in with MIL , text your niece. Some are weekly, some more frequent a couple less frequent. But reminders help.

[@leeannerichter9359]

This is actually awesome advice i do this too especially because i have many nieces and nephews and my parents my 2 bestfriends and my siblings its alot sometimes i just get overwhelmed and shut down so the reminders help me so much to just send a quick check in text

I feel like the “just show up” is such a vibe. I fully appreciate how honest and real these conversations felt.

Matt, please let people answer the question that you ask them. You asked a question and would laugh/talk over them and prevent them from answering their question. Great potential for a podcast!

I got married at 18! Still disgustingly in love with my husband 13 years later. No children yet- just enjoying this time together until that day comes. No one thought we would make it. It’s a wonderful feeling to know we had love and patience with each other as we grew and changed throughout the years ❤

You've got a new subscriber! Thanking your subs instead of commenting on those who are not subscribed was an awesome approach. Y'all deserve it! Thanks for putting your heart into this.

[@Queen_of_Kingz]

When Tanner said, “It’ll be ok. They’re gonna figure it out” (imo) spoke volumes about his faith! Can you imagine being 16 or 17, seeing your sibling/best friend in that condition & KNOWING everything will be ok?🙌🏾 He’s human so of course there was some doubt, but faith “the size of a mustard seed” is all you need. He had more! So much more that the doubt was unable to win!🥲❤️❤

Sooooo I’ve never had an encounter with ghosts/spirits. I had the podcast on while baby was napping and I was doing laundry. While Tanner was telling his experience with ghosts all of a sudden my babies fisher price keyboard table started playing!!! It doesn’t work with out you pushing buttons and has never gone off before!!! I freaked a little then let it go. Then it happened again (while still listening to podcast)!!!! 2nd time was as if someone was pushing the buttons bc it was switching songs!! Sooo crazy. Still weirded out by it. Wasn’t going to share but it was just too much to keep to myself lol! Much love ♡

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Ā lot of people describe such things happening when they listen to someone else's ghostly or demonic tales. Anywho ask Jesus to bless the place and keyboard or play the lord's prayer as a song and it usually solves such things many find.

[@zoeygroat1560]

I love Sarah’s sense of humor so much!! Great episode 🩵

[@DenisePerkins-xk5wq]

Love all six of y'all chatting and laughing together!! I feel like a fly on the wall & it's so cool😊. BTW, Lo - your hair is looking more full and healthy every time I see you!! That Divi serum you've been using has really made a huge difference! LOVE YOUR HAIR❤❤❤

[@baileepond125]

Abby in the curoligy promo your legs look so toned! Im 38 weeks pregnant with my 2nd (two under two too). I'm hoping when life calms down a little. I'm able to make time to work out again. You look great and I'm so happy for you!

Their “hint” was just short of saying Matt & Abby. I’m pretty sure EVERYONE knew who they were referring to 😂

What an amazing podcast!! I love all of you guys and have been watching you guys from basically the beginning! It has been so much fun watching you guys grow together in your relationships, then how you all do together as couples bringing in a new baby to the family, it’s just been so touching! Thank you so much for all that you do, I’ve had my fair share of days of not always being very happy, and I can definitely say that watching you guys definitely cheers me up and put a smile on my face!! I think you’re all great and wish you nothing but the best of health, happiness, and success! Liz🤗❤️👍🏼🩷❤️🩷🩷❤️

They think we start to look like our spouses because we gravitate toward people who resemble our parents. It's not obvious when we are younger, but as we get older the similarity begins to come out.

[@skyeclarkson1901]

That and going through the same stresses and living in the same environment affect how we age and look too

[@mariamalec965]

I love this episode. Both of The Beeston couples' haunted stories are both scary.

[@Angeleyez37tx]

Favorite podcast so far!! I love you all!! I love how authentic you all are. I have never seen a ghost/spirit, but I have heard and seen things that made me wonder if they are real. My sister took a video of our son while we were out of town so he could tell us good night and then she sent it to us. About that time she called me and she started screaming, saying that there was voices in the video and no one was in the house, but her and my son. I opened up the video and started watching it and you could hear heavy breathing and then all of a sudden you could hear a lady say, hello Sonny. Which is weird because that’s what I call my oldest son. She sent the video to a paranormal activity place in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They wanted to come to the house and set up cameras because they said there was a lot of activity in that video and they were interested in filming in the house. Well, unfortunately, we moved out not long after that, so they were never able to go to verify anything. I still have the video!! It gives me cold chills every time I watch it, because before the woman said hello Sonny, my son kept saying, what’s that, it’s almost like he heard it. I also caught him in front of the fireplace one day talking to someone and then at the end of the conversation I heard him say, “OK grandma, I will. I love you too.” This was in 2011 and my mom passed away in 2007. I have had moments that make believe!

[@user-ih7pr9fc2l]
