We're back — and we have a LOT to catch up on. After an unplanned two-year hiatus, Laura and Ken are returning to explain everything that happened: a new baby, a fourth surgery with complications, startup closures, an LLC, home health, per diem life, IVF, lymphedema, and a walking cast just last week. This episode is a raw, honest recap of the last two years and a look at what's coming next. New episodes every other Tuesday morning — we're not going anywhere.
