Navigating Relationships: Communication, Intimacy, and Emotional Needs Part 2 With John Gray

In episode 91 of The Road to Wisdom podcast, Chloe & Keshia speak with "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" Author, John Gray. This is a 2 part series , please go back to part one if you haven't already! We invited John on for a second time to discuss what it takes to deepen our connection in partnership. Relationships are complex, shaped by communication, emotional needs, and cultural expectations. In this episode, we explore why relationships break down, the impact of unresolved complaints, and how emotional availability—or the lack of it—affects connection.
We discuss how cultural influences and evolving gender roles shape modern relationships, often creating tension between tradition and personal fulfillment. Safety, both emotional and physical, is essential for trust and intimacy, while community support can make or break a partnership.
The conversation shifts to monogamy, emotional fulfillment, and the role of intimacy in long-term commitment. Communication styles often differ between men and women, leading to misunderstandings that fuel conflict. We break down how to navigate disagreements effectively and whether silence is a tool for healing or a sign of disconnection.

Are We Having Enough Children? Why More Children Are Needed For a Positive Future With Paul Morland

In episode 89 of The Road to Wisdom podcast, Chloe & Keshia speak with demographer and author Paul Morland about the pressing issue of declining birth rates and their far-reaching implications for society. Paul highlights the economic and social consequences of low fertility, using Japan as a case study to illustrate how an aging population can lead to labor shortages, increased tax burdens, and a decline in innovation.
The conversation also delves into the environmental concerns often associated with population growth, challenging common misconceptions about overpopulation. Paul emphasizes the financial pressures that deter many families from having more children and argues that wealthier societies paradoxically experience lower birth rates. He advocates for a fundamental shift in societal priorities, calling for stronger government support, cultural changes, and a reevaluation of education and career structures to better accommodate family life.
Beyond the economic and logistical challenges, we explore the emotional and societal implications of anti-natalist perspectives. He makes a compelling case for a more pro-natalist approach—one that not only acknowledges the challenges of raising children but also celebrates the profound joys and long-term societal benefits of parenthood.
Ultimately, the discussion underscores the urgent need to support family growth as a cornerstone of a sustainable future. Without children, economies will stagnate, innovation will decline, and societies will struggle to thrive. Paul argues that housing affordability, tax incentives, and community support must become priorities to help young people start and sustain families. Shifting the narrative around family life from one of burden to one of fulfillment is essential in countering anti-natalist sentiments and ensuring a thriving future for generations to come.

In Episode 87 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, Chloe and Keshia have a deeply moving conversation with Lucette Romy as she courageously shares the story of her pregnancy, birth, and the unimaginable loss of her baby, Dash Ra, just hours after he entered the world.
Lucette reflects on her pregnancy—one that was filled with ease and trust in her body—and explains her decision to free birth at home, supported by a birth keeper rather than a hospital setting. She takes us through her labor, the intensity and triumph of birth, and the moments that followed, leading to the heartbreaking loss of her and her partner Tom’s baby boy.

We also explore the vital roles of doulas, midwives, and birth keepers in supporting birthing mothers and discuss the importance of informed choices in all birth settings. Through her own heartbreaking experience, Lucette has found purpose in creating a resource for other mothers—offering guidance, support, and knowledge for those who may experience a similar loss or simply want to understand their options should the unthinkable happen.
This is a tender and powerful episode that honors the depth of a mother’s love, the pain of loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.
