a sleep study?!?!

In this episode of dialoguing [https://kaitlyntopolewski.substack.com/], Kaitlyn and her husband talk about the new season of Love is Blind: DC, the mystery of why we mindlessly do things in our leisure time as if they are obligations, the ways in which we pretend, and the magical nature of the Molly’s in our lives.

no snakes on this plane, no babies on this plane

In this episode of dialoguing [https://kaitlyntopolewski.substack.com/], Kaitlyn and her husband talk about the dance of spending time together versus apart in a relationship and how this can relate to long held fears of separation, parental guilt, their differences in chatting with strangers, and Kaitlyn pitches a potentially million dollar idea all within the backdrop of J trying to sell stuff on Facebook Marketplace.

these thoughts don't have to make sense

In this episode, Kaitlyn, from the newsletter dialoguing [https://kaitlyntopolewski.substack.com/], and her husband work through in real time an annoyed and overwhelmed part of Kaitlyn, a little inside baseball on the intro of the podcast and it’s name*, relationship to dancing, J’s very specific pet peeve, and fountain drink refill etiquette.

Feel free to listen and/or leave a review there as well! *You may have noticed we changed the name to match the newsletter’s moniker. As you’ll hear in the episode, there was some unease around referencing a bar as Kaitlyn is sober, as are many of her readers —and—also it’s a mouth full. Embracing simplicity and the sentiment that it’s never too late to make a change. Show Notes— * 2 Newsletters: What Are We Even Doing Here If We Aren’t Dancing?
