’Everything Happens for a Reason’ & Other Unhelpful Things People Say

Ask Us Anything! Foster and Cesar answer listener questions about working together as romantic partners on a podcast, the worst advice people give during hard times, and the intentional choice of the word "partner" instead of "girlfriend”. They share the pros and cons of creative collaboration in relationships, why the podcast has become their creative "baby," and reveal the well-meaning advice that actually hurts.

In this episode they explore: 

• The grief advice Foster finds unhelpful (even though she believes it herself)
• How working together revealed their unexpected strengths as a couple
• What their podcast has in common with having a baby together
• How they avoid ego battles while collaborating on creative projects
• Why relationships are mirrors, not hierarchies (and what that means for advice)
