<p>Happy Birthday Louise!!!&nbsp;🥳</p><br><p>Of course, as it’s her birthday we had a few surprises planned… starting with Ryan transforming into Louise’s “ideal man.” Or at least, that was the plan. Let’s just say it didn’t exactly go the way we expected.</p><br><p>We also get into why Louise actually HATES her birthday, and the deeper reason behind it. That conversation takes an unexpected turn, leading to a very honest reveal about why Louise and Ryan still aren’t married… even after being engaged for eight years. This also opens up Ryan’s biggest regret from his proposal.</p><br><p>Things get even more emotional as he shares a series of surprise gifts that leave Louise laughing, and a little teary.</p><br><p>And just when she thinks it’s over, there’s one final surprise… a very special guest crashes the recording to wish Louise a happy birthday. You’ll have to listen to the end to find out who.</p><br><p>00:00 Ryan dresses up to surprise Louise!&nbsp;</p><p>00:41 Why Louise hates her birthday&nbsp;</p><p>06:03 Louise’s Childhood Birthday Experiences</p><p>10:05 The Root of Birthday Discomfort</p><p>12:18 Why we aren’t married yet?!&nbsp;</p><p>15:57 Louise’s ideal Birthday</p><p>18:38 Ryan’s Shocking Engagement Revelation</p><p>22:41 Louise’s best birthday feeling&nbsp;</p><p>25:03 Dream Birthday Scenario</p><p>29:06 Birthday Present Surprises</p><p>32:10 A Decade of Birthdays Journey Together&nbsp;</p><p>41:28 Advice to Younger Selves</p><p>45:28 Mystery guest surprise revealed!&nbsp;</p><br><p>🗓 New episodes every Wednesday</p><br><p>📩 We’ve got a NEW email!</p><p>Want to get involved?
