    It’s a little musical interlude on the Back 9 as we tee up season 8. From karaoke showdowns, subway serenades and memories of mixtapes, we hit every note about the role music plays in our lives. And we talk about how the kids just don’t get it — yes, they occasionally listen to Sade, but they don’t know how to pronounce her name.

    Plus, get a sneak peek at the powerful stories, surprise guests, and emotional depth coming your way this season. So sing it loud and sing it proud as we take the stage for Season 8, on the Back 9.

    Round 7: The 19th Hole- The Most Important Thing You Can Do as a Parent
    May 13 2025

    In this raw Season 7 finale, we take on one our most honest and emotional conversations to date, as we discuss how parents often wound their children by airing their own relationship grievances and personal traumas. It’s a candid take on co-parenting, accountability, and the ripple effect of unresolved hurt. It’s a tough but necessary topic for anyone who is co-parenting, even as their children mature into adults.

    But it’s not all heavy. We share our astonishment at Trader Joe’s technology, dating fails and a spin through the excellent cast of characters that graced our show in season 7. So whether you’re here for the laughs or the life lessons, you’ll walk away from this episode a little more knowledgeable and maybe craving a chocolate croissant.

    Round 7: Ep - 18 Psychologist/Author Dr. Janne Lomasky: To Stay or Not to Stay: Choosing Between Growth and Goodbye?
    May 6 2025

    What does it really take to decide whether to stay or leave a relationship that no longer feels healthy—or safe? In this powerful conversation with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Janae Lomosky, we explore the emotional toll of staying too long, the real reason many people feel “stuck,” and how to begin rebuilding self-worth and mental clarity, even before the relationship ends. Whether you’re navigating divorce, toxic dynamics, or just feeling uncertain about your next step, this episode delivers deep insight and gentle encouragement grounded in clinical wisdom and personal experience.

    From vulnerability as a superpower to the foundational role of emotional safety and friendship in long-term connection, this is one of those episodes you’ll want to return to again and again. Dr. Lomosky also shares her perspective on men’s mental health, the power of mindfulness through body-based healing, and how writing down dealbreakers might just be the first step to reclaiming your life. If you’re silently questioning your relationship—or know someone who is—this is a must-listen.
