Well hello there, babes. Welcome back to Your Place or Mine, hosted by Jessie Olsen. I'll be honest - this isn't exactly an episode but more of a mini update. I had a pod guest fall through and wasn't going to post an episode this week. But I had a lovely Valentine's Day and after reflecting on the last few year's Valentine's episodes I thought you could use some good news from this babe. Listen in to hear about some romance, some reflection, and some proof that therapy works! Sorry for the quickie babes - next episode will be better, I promise!
