Episode notes
This week, I convinced my husband Joe to grab a mic and get real with me about the beautiful, messy, snack-covered reality of marriage after kids. Spoiler: it’s less candlelit dinners, more whisper-arguing over who packed the diaper bag.
We dive into the four big themes that are way too relatable for any parent couple:
- “We Thought It Would Be…” – what we imagined parenting would look like… and how wildly off we were
- “The Shift to Teammates” – how we tag-team chaos and find small ways to show up for each other
- “Connection vs. Survival Mode” – the difference between real intimacy and “let’s just make it through bedtime”
- “Logistics Overload” – why most of our conversations start with “Did you pack…?” and how we’re working to bring
