We're about to celebrate our 18th anniversary and we're planning on how to make it special. In this episode, we share with you some of our plans and how searching for "the right way to celebrate" has made us feel and reflect on our choices.

We also discuss about how spending so much money on our anniversary (and spending in general) makes us feel guilty. We also reflected back on how we used to celebrate our anniversaries in the past and how our lives have changed over the years.

Going through this reflection was a humbling experience, and we feel really grateful to be where we are right now.

We hope that you enjoy this episode, and perhaps find inspiration in our journey, both the wins and struggles. ^_^

Thanks again for joining us. Let's talk again next Thursday! ;)

Sending you loads of love! <3

So why are we doing this? Why do we talk in bed and why are we making this podcast?

In this episode, we try to reflect on our purpose for doing this podcast, our fears, and how we can mitigate those fears. We also discussed the things that we will not do or talk about in the podcast, plus a number of random stuff that came up ^_^

This episode also gives a glimpse at how we plan and discuss these kinds of things.

Hope you enjoy this episode and hope you stay tune for the next ones. <3
