“Jo has just kind of grounded me in this place to where it’s almost like, when I die or I’m on my deathbed, what I’ll say, looking back, is, ‘I owe you my life because you settled me down,’” he gushed to Winfrey.

Whereas for Joanna, the Homebody: A Guide to Creating Spaces You Never Want to Leave author says Chip taught her to cherish life, slow down and “find the joy” in every moment.
