Josh is back this week for part 2 of his Tell All interview about life with yours truly.  On today's episode, he shares (some of) the infamous "Things Laurie Dislikes" list--yes, folks, that's really a thing!  We also talk about life as a traveling husband, married to an outspoken and independent entrepreneur both trying to successfully raise 2 humans. It's not all puppies and rainbows, but somehow we've managed to survive (and hopefully thrive) for the past 20 years. So when I say, you're taking a glimpse into my not-so-perfect world, I'm not kidding.

Ok folks, this is the moment you've been waiting for...laundry-loving Josh is in the house! This is definitely one of my favorite episodes to date, not only because we were able to sit for an entire 20 minutes and have an uninterrupted conversation, but because he spills the beans on what it's like to live with me (a job I wish on NO ONE!). He's honest, funny, and had so much to say that we had to split the conversation between 2 episodes.  You can listen to part 1 of Josh's Tell All right here: If you liked this episode will you take a moment to share it with a friend or your partner?  If you are feeling generous, would you mind giving us a 5 star rating? (it's literally as simple as clicking a button!)
