2+2 Is Chicken
Everyone has a story. Life can be crazy, and sometimes life hands you something that you never asked for or could never see coming. In the classroom called "life," we are under the false illusion that the formula of "2+2" would always yield the "correct" answer of "4." Sometimes it works out that way, but when it doesn’t, it’s a total bummerama.
We can't make any promises, nor do we have a magic wand that we can wave over you to make it all go away, but we can promise real stories of people who are struggling too. And, because neither of us know how to tell stories without having some fun at the same time, we're going to throw in a few laughs along the way.
So, if you feel isolated, discouraged, or embarrassed by a life circumstance, or, even none at all, hang out with us and hopefully you won't feel so alone. And if you're at all curious about how vomit, a blue man, a bar of soap and the number #25 in a toilet can possibly be topics of our conversation, we welcome you into our craziness.
And who knows? Perhaps you may discover that "your" answer to "2+2" leads you to the very places that you would never have gone to alone...
Peace Out,
Sarah and Courtney

S2/ 12.03.24 Grace Wu (Part 1)
"Grace Wu"
Part 1
Let’s see... there’s "Joy," "Peace," "Patience," "Kindness..." and then there’s our dear friend, Grace.
Not only does her name fit her perfectly, but if you could somehow make her name longer (longer than standardized tests have enough boxes for), it might look something like this:
"Gracejoyhumblepatientkindamazingwonderfulgoodlistenerfriendmomwifementorgoodexample..." followed by her middle name (which we don’t know) and then her last name, "Wu." Even with that extended version, you’d only be capturing about 10% of her incredible essence!
In today’s episode, we did something a bit different by splitting Grace’s interview into two parts. In this first part, Grace shares her personal story of pregnancy and stillbirth, delving into the emotions she and her husband experienced. She also discusses how she navigates conversations about her loss and offers a powerful reminder that hope can exist even in the midst of deep pain.
Spoiler Alert:
Grace is not only wise and compassionate, but she’s also hilarious! Oh, and she’s a top-notch recommender of Korean dramas. (Be warned: they’ll probably make you cry, laugh, and raid your child’s Halloween candy stash while binge-watching because they’re THAT good.) Not that we would know firsthand, of course... I mean, what kind of parent would sneak candy from their kid’s bag? That’s just devious... right?
