Postpartum anxiety, our first family trip & what are non-parents doing between 4 and 8PM?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!! We get into a topic I've been thinking about a LOT lately: the postpartum anxiety I'm experiencing the second time around (it's a totally different beast than postpartum depression, AND the anxiety this time is split between two kids…).

Kid birthday parties, ISR vs. swim lessons & would you leave the World Cup for your child's birth?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!!! We are coming off of a CHAOTIC night… our fire alarm went off 4 TIMES between 3 and 5 AM, and we ended up having to take a screwdriver to the wall to dismantle the entire system to make it stop 😭 (+ Alex had postpartum heartburn so bad ChatGPT was actively trying to send her to the ER.) But the show goes on…
We start with our Father's Day B
Millennial dads, UK's under-16s social media ban & are Gen Z employees actually lazy?!

On today's episode: we get
U.S. Maternity leave, toddler tantrums & why do we call it “football”?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we go DEEP on the US maternity leave problem (did you know in 1919, 37 out of 38 industrialized nations adopted 14 weeks of paid leave… and the US was the ONE that held out?! And 100 years later, 1 in 4 American moms will go back to work within 2 weeks of giving birth?!). We learned SO much prepping for this episode & we're excited to figure out what we can do
Road trip with 2 under 2, deleting social media & should kids have chores?!

Adults-only dining, daddy-daughter dates & is THIS the only way kids actually learn?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!!!! We are coming off of a SOCIAL weekend (read: Harrison is doing another fast, but we ALSO have tons of fun topics that came out of it). We start with a survey finding that's going viral: 75% of Americans say restaurants should have adults-only sections. 1) We kind of think this already exists (on the down low… hostesses let us know), and 2) the
Holding the line, location sharing & is optimization culture making us miserable?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we are SO BACK (lol… we're feeling like this is our first full on episode back since having Rocky 🥹) And we're getting into a bunch of stuff.

Neighborhood BBQ, staying up past bedtime & our first LIVE Q&A
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, it's what we call a quick "chit chat" episode to start off your 4-day work week :-) Harrison joins us for all of about a minute before we sent him home with the kids… but NOT BEFORE Tate said "hello" to the pod listeners (guys, she was so proud of herself for using the mic).

Doorbell friends, the eldest daughter effect & outsourcing your night nurse?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're talking about the lost art of the "doorbell friend" (we just learned we have these and it makes us feel like we're in a sitcom LOL). Which spirals into a whole convo about how in-person social interaction has plummeted and what can be done to bring back the 90s childhood mindset.
Then we get into Memorial Day block party planning (watermelon seed spit
Teaching toddlers to share, Mother’s/Father’s day gifts & is the dad bod REAL?!

Other "IRL" stuff we get into: T
Everything you need to know about feeding your newborn (with The Baby Feeding Experts)
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Kyla and Courtney (SLPs & IBCLCs) from Baby Feeding Experts for the feeding episode we NEEDED before the birth of baby #2.

Newborn hot takes (vaccines, formula vs. breastfeeding & visitors in the first week)
This week on Two PARENTS & A Podcast, we have the parenting heavy episode you guys have been asking for :) With baby #2 coming in T-2 days, we’re revisiting all the newborn decisions that hit at once (that also happen to be some of the most loaded topics on the internet).

Coachella, nighttime paci update & when is it OK to honk?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we are LOCKED IN on Coachella Weekend 1. SORRY in advance if this is a little bit of a departure from the norm, but it was truly all we could think about this week (besides the fact that the baby is coming in T-5 days... are we using Coachella as a distraction? Probably). And if you were worried this one wasn’t parent-heavy enough, don’t worry... Jules already
Labor induction, zodiac signs & the craziest places to give birth
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re talking labor induction, due date myths, and birth signs (because YES, we are officially T-10 days and I’m overanalyzing cusp babies, my last meal before birth, and why hospital bags are such a thing in the first place.)

Postpartum prep, toddler street safety & can your kid have too many toys?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re coming off Easter weekend (still in our pastels!) and Harrison is officially petitioning for no work on Easter Mondays (too much Aperol!)

We also get into ou
Toddler tantrums, pacifier weaning & when should dad stop traveling before birth?
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re in the middle of some BIG transitions over here… including officially saying goodbye to the pacifier (BEBE) 😭 We get into how it’s going, whether we’ve now entered the full-blown tantrum era, and all the little ways toddlerhood keeps you humble (daily).

Hit-and-run, mom vs. dad clean & is golfing too much a red flag?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, someone hit our PARKED car and drove off… which quickly turned our neighborhood into a full-blown detective operation. Ring cameras were reviewed, theories were formed, and the neighborhood group chat is working overtime trying to figure out WHO hit the car.
Before we get there, we talk about the emotional side of preparing for baby #2 — including the weird

Flying with kids, toddler leashes & crop tops while pregnant

There’s two types of people… (and we’re the type that CAN’T change our own flat tire)
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re audio only (SORRY, but that’s IRL recording, baby. PS we saw your feedback (THANK YOU!!!) and we’re gonna try this for a few weeks before regrouping).

Failed glucose test, baby boy nicknames & where does girl scout cookie money ACTUALLY go?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re getting ready to BABYMOON. If you’re watching this, we’re on the beach right now (yay) trying to figure out what you even call a babymoon for baby number two (because “babymoon” feels… aggressive). Sprinkle? Second moon? TBD.

Q&A: Hospital bag must-haves, sibling introductions & investment accounts for kids
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re answering YOUR questions - but fair warning: we had a lot to say (40 mins worth) before we got there. In our defense: shampoo recs, steak temperatures, and daddy/daughter dances felt important at the time (LOL).

Toddler morning routine, baby names we WON’T use & is going off registry rude?!
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we might have cracked the code on toddler mornings… and it’s not waking up earlier.
We’re talking 5am wakeups, third-trimester exhaustion, and the mindset shift that completely changed how we handle that first hour of the day. Instead of surviving it, we’re cooking through it. Eggs, repetition, more eggs, toddler “responsibility,” and why letting Tate crack

Boy vs. girl pregnancies, snow days & your family’s made-up language

Nesting, first dates & do audiobooks count as reading?
