As we close our month-long celebration of 2 years of Shelter in Place, we share some big news. And as we enter April, National Donate Life Month, we share a beautiful story from Laurel Morales of 2 Lives about asking for help when your life depends on it.

As we celebrate two years as a show approaching 200 episodes, it’s time for a little retrospective: we look back the good, the hard, and the peaceful, escaping not out of life, but into it.

On the two-year anniversary of our podcast and the Covid quarantine, we revisit some milestone episodes along the away (one day in, one month in, 100 episodes in), reflect on the past two years, and pick a word for the year ahead.

What if we could escape to a place where we had everything we needed, where there was no pain or hunger or loneliness? Pulitzer prize-winning author Anthony Doerr shows us how.

Ten years ago, our son Gabe was born by emergency C-section. Two years ago, we started quarantine on his birthday. Since then, he's learned a lot — and so have we. So in this birthday episode dedicated to Gabe, here are reflections (and life lessons) inspired by our son.
