If there is one thing that helps us to keep pressing publish on our weekly podcast it's this: Done is better than perfect. (Believe me, that's also easier said than done!) I can't tell you how many different versions of our cover art we went through before deciding it's "good enough." Or how listening back made me realize I didn't get the sound levels right. Or how many times we've been interrupted by Papi, our dog, barking or chewing things he's not supposed to. But it's all okay. We just keep going. That's our secret. And more than that, we're learning to work with each other even though our approaches to creativity are a bit ... different. So in celebration of our milestone 10th episode, I wanted to talk about all of that! 🎧Listen Here to Ep. 10 on Perfectionism, Play and Podcasting as a Couple. You'll hear about:

It means finding yourself in the emotional abyss you used to know so well and thought you'd said goodbye to years ago....
A few weeks ago we went to our vacation spot -- Cocoa Beach -- for our biannual trip. (I've written about that more here.) I feel like Kelly and I have gotten into a nice groove with this place. We always stay at the same resort and at this point we've got our favorite places to visit. This trip we got big into doing jigsaw puzzles, check out this beautiful one we completed: Yes, that tested both my botanical and geographical knowledge! But then two days before leaving I started to realize...
Hey Reader, It's been a minute. If you're new here, I usually send this newsletter once a week. But apparently I've taken an accidental sabbatical. I shared a few months ago that we're renovating our house ... while still living in it. At this point I'd say I don't recommend it. 😫 So we've spent the past few months shuffling our belongings from room to room, trying to make space for the work while also going to work, taking care of ourselves and our animals, and generally keeping life moving....
