Welcome to the last episode of Season #3! If you listened to last week’s episode, you’ll know that Ben has proclaimed that this episode will be his last (although he has promised to return for an episode about the third trimester and one episode post-baby to update all of you on how we’re doing). So, this week we discuss the past 17 months of podcasting together, what it’s been like, what we've learned, why Ben wants to "retire" from Starr Struck Radio, and more.

You can view the shownotes at comment at StarrStruckRadio.com. Thanks for listening to Season #3! Stay tuned for Season #4 sometime in the late fall of 2016 or early 2017...

This week's episode is a doozy. It starts with Ben dropping a bomb right at the beginning of the show, and it goes *slightly* off the rails from there...but, here we are: The Second Trimester.

This episode is obviously a pregnancy update and a follow-up to Episode 39: The First Trimester. Just like our last pregnancy check-in, we use this episode to discuss how we’re feeling and what’s going on at this stage in the process. Yes, it veers towards couples therapy for a few minutes near the end, but what can we say? We're a couple talking about our feelings on a podcast every week--it's bound to happen every once in a while! We appreciate your sticking with us through all of our ups-and-downs ;)

In this week's episode, we're talking self-improvement: we discuss the importance of growth, or self-help, self-study, continuing education--whatever you want to call it--and what can happen if you overdose on self-improvement, or at the other end of the spectrum, don’t continue to challenge yourself or focus on learning + growing enough.

Obviously, as with everything, there’s a balance, so we discuss what this balance looks like and enjoy a few laughs while doing so ;)

This week, if you can’t tell from the episode title, we’reoverwhelmed. Both of us. So, we talk about overwhelm, being anadult, and how life, work, + household responsibilities can becomepretty overwhelming at times--especially when you’re gearing up fora big life change.

We start the show by talking about the dentist and birthdays,and then delve into the topic of overwhelm and what it means to usright now. If nothing else, we hope that this episode makes ourfellow overwhelmed-ers feel less alone!
