Picture this: after a whirlwind year of dating, I found myself walking down the aisle, embarking on a marriage that has now spanned a decade. What kept us strong? Accountability, personal growth, and a knack for making conscious relationship decisions. This episode kicks off with a deep dive into being single and the importance of self-awareness before plunging into the dating pool. We even share a delightful cocktail recipe, Miss Rosa's Margarita, ensuring you get your rose water from the kitchen, not the bathroom cabinet!Bringing laughter and insight to our discussions, comedian Mario Tory joins us to share his vibrant perspective on marriage, family life, and the everyday comedy that comes with raising kids.
