“This is amazing podcast in general. This episode is super enlightening and a must listen for everyone. I have 3 points to make regarding this episode.
1. Alicia Keys and J.Cole both wrote songs that referenced Will and Jada as being the kind of love we all should aspire to have and now we are all learning that during the period of time we were using them as inspiration and motivation to fight for a relationship that looked like their’s, it turns out that they were going through it in the worst ways. It makes sense why so many people are triggered by all of this.
2. Shan’s parents very candid interview in conjunction with what we are learning about Will and Jada’s relationship speaks to the most important ingredient to relationship longevity and that ingredient is commitment to the relationship. Having true commitment to a relationship means putting a priority on figuring out how to make the relationship function as best it can under the current circumstances and ignoring how things may have changed for the worse. People who are truly committed will make a way even when the way is not pleasant.
3. Interviewing your parents for the purpose of helping your audience to have a better chance to achieve healthier relationships is the kind of podcast and journalism work that is worthy of all kinds of awards and accolades so Shan please let us know where we can submit this episode for the awards that you want to be considered for.
Shan scolded me for leaving a review and not providing my info so that she could reciprocate the love. For the record, I intentionally left out my info because I didn’t want to distract from my genuine admiration for her and the podcast. But I’m not getting scolded again so to check out the podcast version of me check out “The Cultured Misfits” podcast and for the DJ version of me “djsilk12” on Mixcloud.com and all of my links can be found in my bio on instagram @djsilk.”
