Coparent Academy Podcast

In this episode, we say goodbye to Linda as the weekly cohost. I (Ron) will continue the podcast with a different format beginning June 3, 2024. I can't express how much I've learned from Linda and have grown as a person from the time I've spent with her. She's the absolute best and I can't wait for her to come back to the show periodically as a guest.As a side note, in editing the podcast for release I noticed that I was dropping my "r"s.  When I was young, I wasn't able to pronounce the letter "r", which was inconvenient given my name has two prominent "r"s. Now, I only drop my "r"s when my emotions are running higher than normal.  In other words, every time I drop my "r" in this episode, that's a testament to how wonderful I think Linda is and how much I'll miss talking with her every week for the podcast.  If you would like to participate in the podcast as a guest or have suggestions for episode topics, please let me know.
