245. An Unforgettable Double Date with Andrea Gibson & Megan Falley

Andrea Gibson returns with their partner, Megan Falley, for a gorgeous, hilarious double date with Glennon and Abby:

• An Andrea health update and what each has learned since Andrea’s cancer diagnosis;
• How their chemistry ignited with Andrea’s questionable move on a sweaty dance floor – and the text moment Andrea knew Megan was the one;
• How each of their relationships with their bodies has been transformed by Andrea’s illness;
• Navigating a relationship where one partner worries constantly and the other doesn’t know how to worry; and
• Why love looks like peeing your pants, and how they keep putting themselves in the way of miracles.
