BagsandPip Audio Experience

In this episode of What Love Requires Bags and Pip...well...lets just say this episode was a bit of a train wreck.

In the episode we talk about Pips love for hosting and how much fun we had hosting our friends this past weekend. We also talk about the challenges we’ve faced as we schedule Christmas parties and make sure we had time for ourselves. What Christmas traditions are your favourite? Let us know on Instagram @bagsandpip or leave a voice recording at Anchor.fm/BagsandPip

In this episode we talk about the looks and concern we get from people when we tell them marriage has been hard. We assure you we are okay, very in love, and having a lot of fun with each other. We talked about the culture of our marriage we are trying to make and the joys podcasting has brought us. Thank you all so much for your support, we hope you enjoy today's episode.

In this episode Pip talks about how she's been learning to ask Bags to help out around the house. And that not only is he willing to help out, but wants to.

2 weeks without an episode. That’s bad. Last week Bags forgot to edit and post the podcast so we were gonna post it and take our recording day to watch Lord of the Rings together. Also here’s a sneak peak as to what is coming down the pipe for BagsandPip in 2019.

In this episode we address the conversation we alluded to in episode 3. We found two overarching themes: we are not being intentional with our time together and we desperately need a way to communicate out schedules better. We have two questions for you and would love to hear what your suggestions are: 1) What systems do you have in place to be intentional with the time you spend with your significant other? 2) How do you communicate your schedule with your partner? You can email your answers to bagsandpip@gmail.com, DM us on social media @bagsandpip or leave us a voice recording at anchor.fm/bagsandpip

In this mini episode Bags talks about the importance of creating habits and how they are the foundation to achieving your goals.

In this episode I (Bags) talk about how I've noticed how important it is to have a conversation about expectations. The night I recorded this Pip and I went on a date to the water park and had very different expectations about how the night was going to go. It was only after we were both frustrated with each other did we sit down and talk about what our expectations were. Had we had that conversation before our date we would have had so much more fun with each other

This weekend when we sat down to plan out what was supposed to be an episode on money we had a pretty tough conversation. And surprisingly it had nothing to do with money. The conversation revolved around our brand of BagsandPip as the catalyst of other issues emerging in our relationship. A conversation we are going to go in depth on next week. Keep and eye out this week for little audio memoirs from us individually as we reflect on past week.

We are pushing along to our second episode of What Love Requires. Thank you so much for joining us as we start our journey with marriage and podcasting. We are so excited to see how you can teach us and hope we are able to help you as we share about our marriage. In this episode we talk about mentorship. We both believe in the importance of having mentors and being a mentor so we share what we have learnt having our mentors.

Thank you so much for listening to the first episode of What Love Requires. We are so excited to embark on the journey of marriage, learn from you, and share what we learn with you. In this episode we talk about what surprised us in our first month of marriage and what played out how we expected it to.
