Hi Rach. Your weekly uploads makes Tuesdays a lot more bearable. There are so many golden nuggets in all of your podcasts. Really appreciate the hard work and effort put into these videos. I want to share that my relationship benefited so much from both of your sharings. I can relate my relationship dynamic to yours. Leo’s sharing really help shed some light to how a man thinks and it helps me understand my partner better. Thank you both so much for being so open in sharing the ups and downs. Most importantly how your relationship has evolved across the different seasons and how both of you have overcome the challenges to emerge as a stronger and more loving individuals towards each other. Always looking forward to hearing Leo’s insights. Would love to know more on how Leo takes such good care of himself while juggling with family and work commitments. The struggles that men go through that are often go unheard.

I really love your sharing Rach & Leo! Very much agree that you need to stay curious about your partner. I can see this is a good healthy marriage relationship from your discussion. I hope you guys stay soulmates as husband and wife til death parts.
