Summary:
In this episode I interview my husband, Danny Thompson about our intentional community with my parents. My husband doesn’t necessarily love being on the podcast, but I was really grateful for his perspective! He shares some of the fears that one has in moving in with their in-laws, and some of the benefits he has found in the process.
