Ditto to what both John and Vanessa said (you know, besides locations). Having heard your voices in my ears for a couple hundred hours, I hope on a very personal level for your whole family’s best. Been praying for y’all!

I hope you had a meaningful week, best wishes from the other side of the columbia.
How are you ???
I’ve been following you for years, I’m used to your deep content where analytical and wise discussions happen rather than emotional stuff, but here…
I mean, you guys are always discreet on what you’re going through in your lives and that’s obviously normal, but on this last podcast I was on the verge of tears almost all the time. Please give us some news. This was not a light matter. None of what you do is, but in that very personal case for you Antonia, I had to jump on my keyboard to write something here just to tell you that we, as your audience, are really attached to you as “people” too ( I don’t know if you’re aware of that ). So what I mean is I really hope you’re ok :)))
