This week, we're talking about creating the time to PLAY (not to be confused with being a player or even crushing a lot for that matter). Life can be chaotic, but in all of its busyness, it's important to make the time to do other fruitful things that aren't connected to your work/calling/purpose/job. Recreation might just might be the medicine that your life needs; and we're discussing how to create the playtime to spend with the people in your life.

EP 39: [MORNING SESH] INSPIRATION

EP 47: NINE YEARS & COUNTING

Hey Y'all! Yep. Still quarantine season. We took some time this episode to lament the unique experience that 2020 Grads are having right now. Unfortunately, they didn't get to have a prom, after prom, or a traditional graduation. Who could have imagined that their Senior year would end this way? And not only that - but they're not headed into the best job market and will they even have in-person classes this fall? Not to be Debbie Downer or Bad News Bob. We're just talking about how DIFFERENT their experience has been. 

AT LEAST they got a word from President Obama. We tuned in like we were donning a cap and gown too. It was glorious. 

How can we help them? What ways can we encourage this class? Let us know  - @PermanentPlusOne on all platforms.

EP 48: SAD FOR GRADS & ESQUIRE

This has been a challenging time, and this was a difficult episode to record, and even harder to go back through to edit & prepare for you. So that took a while, but now it's here. 

We'd love to hear your thoughts. Please share with us @PermanentPlusOne on all platforms.

EP 49: BLM & CAN I LIVE?

The Permanent Plus One Podcast - "Where Marriages go to Live"

 - Hosted and produced by Allen & Kyla Woods, Permanent Plus One takes you into the joy, pain, lessons, and blessings of marriage (and parenting). The show was birthed out of Allen & Kyla's mission to provide a platform for couples to be supported and encouraged, and for marriage to be celebrated. Sometimes it feels like the work that is required for marriage to be successful overshadows the beautiful outcomes of that work. The  Cincinnati-based couple brings insight, humor, emotion, and organic energy to tackle a variety of topics.
