it's cool, us too

This episode was inspired by a lyric in Adele's song, "I drink wine". In it, she talks about how you're supposed to find balance in sacrifice, but she doesn't know anyone who is truly satisfied. It made us think about what that means in our own lives. In today's epi we discuss: To what extent the pursuit of balance is made harder in your 30 because of different expectatio...
