The purpose of today's episode is to let listeners know that they will be recording a co-parenting Q&amp;A (with questions sent in by listeners) and an interview with a co-parenting expert, as Amy and Ben make it clear that they are NOT experts.</p> <p><br>Email your questions to <a href="mailto:4thingswithamybrown@gmail.com">4thingswithamybrown@gmail.com</a> and put CO-PARENTING in the subject line.</p> <p><br>OTHER THINGS DISCUSSED:</p> <p>-Amy asked Ben to share some "wisdom" now that he's another year older</p> <p>-Will they ever write a book together?</p> <p>-Something their therapist had them do often to help with communication was: "what I heard you say was...." and they still use that to this day</p> <p>-Ben told Amy that he might get a "green ring" (something single people that aren't on "dating apps" wear to indicate that they're open to meeting people/dating)</p> <p>-Ben's <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/tough-stump-technologies" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/company/tough-stump-technologies&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1694142456994000&amp;usg=AOvVaw29cirLtuyzCJJej9vYkQbO">LinkedIn</a> (his only real social media presence) and its for his company (Tough Stump Technologies)</p> <p>-&amp; More!</p> <p><br>P.S.
