Home. Alone.

In this episode: Two very different stories about communication issues, and how being home alone can become a catalyst for connection. In our first story, Audrey Murray finds herself in Shanghai – completely unable to speak Chinese. When she discovers the Magic Number, however, she finds she doesn’t need to. Audrey comes to rely on it for everything, but when she’s invited to a banquet because of her constant use of the Magic Number, she realizes she needs to break out of her English-speaking bubble. In our second story, married couple Rebecca and Shawne Huff face an unhappy life together unless they can learn how to communicate. With two teenaged kids and many years of marriage on the line, the stakes are high. Rebecca discovers something called “living apart together,” a unique living arrangement that could be the answer to her and Shawne’s relationship problems. They quickly learn that this new reality will require a lot of trust to make it work. As a “Home. Made.” listener, you’re eligible for an exclusive $2,000 credit toward buying a home.
