63: No One Else I'd Rather Be With with Erynn + Leo Newman

In this week's episode of This is Not What I Ordered, I'm taking you along for a little reunion. I recently caught up with Erynn & Leo Newman, who are "frequent flyers" here on the podcast. Leo, who was a guest way back in Episode 11, and his wife Erynn, were the first couple interviewed for the podcast in Episode 32. Married for over 14 years, they've weathered their fair share of challenges. I recently checked in on them to see how they're navigating this new challenge (the current pandemic). In this reunion episode, we talk about Leo's chronic health struggles and how they're managing COVID-19 shutdowns as a family. As always, Leo and Erynn share their vulnerability and strength, and their love for one another. We discuss pre-COVID memories, grocery shopping and protective measures they are taking to protect Leo, and their seven-year-old son Hudson even joins us for the end of the episode. This conversation reaffirmed for me that we are all in this together, and that you can still make connections with friends even from a distance.
