In this episode we’re talking specifically about relationships in this middle season of life. Our guest, Billie Jauss, podcast host, writer, and wife of a Major League Baseball coach, guides us through four different kinds of relationships. She uses this framework to help us adjust our expectations of those in our circles.

We talk about painful experiences, human connection, Uber drivers, teens and young adult children, and how to use positive virtues for growth.
