The Other Side
"Nadine sure likes to talk" - every report card she brought home.
Which is ironic because this whole show is really about listening and asking the questions other interviewers skip. It doesn't take an expert or a guest who's survived something tragic to make that work - it simply requires someone willing to be real. Because everyone has a real story if you're willing to ask for it.
An Olympic athlete figuring out who she is after competitive sports. A mother describing the 118 days she got with a daughter who was born four months too early and didn't survive. A business owner rebuilding after everything fell apart and Nadine's own mom and sister on what makes a family actually enjoy each other's company.
No script. No formula. No niche. Just real conversations that go past the rehearsed answer - because she's honest first, so her guests can be too.

Mom and sis are back, and this week we asked mom how she managed to stay in love with the same person for over 50 years - our dad <3
Though she says there's no magic formula, she tells us of the importance of trust, mutual respect, being in-tune with one another, and having a deep love that supersedes those days when you don't like each other very much.
As mom reflects on the reality of raising kids and working - the exhaustion, the uneven load mothers can carry, the moments of resentment - she tells us how a marriage can survive those all consuming years by perseverance and finding time, even small moments, for your relationship in-between everything else.
This conversation also highlights the importance of friendship and community in our lives, along with Lorraine’s belief in independence, including the secret bank account she kept for decades “just in case,” (you'll have to listen to hear the details on this!).
At the heart of this episode is mom’s certainty that love is a feeling you can't control, make-up, or ignore. You either feel it or you don't. And if you're lucky to come upon it, you will keep choosing each other over life's constant changes.
