Hey Lifers,

We are back from a little few day vacay! Laura's friend catch up FINALLY made it's way out of the group chat and into reality! She had a little mishap at the airport and there's a valet parker who hopes she never comes back.Britt and Producer Keeshia went to Bali to sus out Britt's wedding venues and food tastings. They ended up getting sick and missing some of the important parts. Chaos and motion sickness; very on brand for life uncut!

The world is in mourning as JLo and Ben Affleck file for divorce! Lots of the world are talking about whether you think it's ever a good idea to go back to your ex. But, we're more interested in whether you think divorce can make you a better parent.There was a really interesting article by Kathryn Jezer-Morton in the Cut) that explored the idea that the end of a marriage, while challenging, can lead to personal growth and improved parenting skills. We discuss:

• Whether our experiences of divorce or parents staying together influenced our views on relationships and marriage
• Whether you should or shouldn't stay in a step kid's life
• Whether we think divorce is always traumatic to kids
• How it shaped our views of conflict
• Parents who are only staying together for the kids - is this a good thing or a bad thing?
• Does being a 'child of divorce' make you more 'realistic' about marriage?

We mentioned a podcast that we recorded with Esther Perel)
