In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya Gioia, a couple who have weathered addiction and separation, share their unique take on Valentine's Day with their youngest son Elijah. The episode kicks off with Elijah, from the 'Elijah Thinks Podcast', taking the reins to interview his parents about their marriage and Valentine's traditions. This family-friendly activity brings a light-hearted twist to the holiday, encouraging families to delve into their own love stories and share them with their kids.
Jerry and Tanya offer a playful recount of their Valentine's Day memories, from dry ice proposals inspired by 'Lord of the Rings' to the saga of questionable chocolates. The Gioias use humour and honesty to reflect on their journey together, emphasising the importance of storytelling in understanding family dynamics. The podcast invites you to dig out those old photo albums and let the kids see what real love looks like.
It's a chance to relive moments that shaped your family and perhaps uncover some surprises along the way. Tanya's preference for single-source dark chocolate over run-of-the-mill sweets serves as a metaphor for choosing quality experiences in relationships. This episode is more than just laughs and anecdotes; it's a reminder that love is an action, not just a feeling.
Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate the stories that make your family unique, even if they involve thumb-printed chocolates or unexpected proposals. So, why not spend this Valentine's Day exploring your own family's tales? It's a fun way to connect and create lasting memories.
