Episode 11: The Husbands, Big Feelings and Long-Game Parenting
This week’s episode is a full table: Krista and Sam are joined by Dave and Brandon (aka The Husbands) for a raw, reflective, and often hilarious look at what it really means to raise kids while trying to stay married, sane, and maybe even caught up on laundry.
Together, they explore the emotional highs and lows of modern parenthood, the invisible weight of household responsibilities, and the beautiful (and sometimes frustrating) lessons that come with the long game of parenting. There’s talk of AI, miscarriage, relationship friction, and the moments that crack you open—in good ways and hard ones. It’s candid, chaotic, and deeply human.
If you’ve ever whispered “It’s just a season” while stepping over a pile of unfolded laundry—this episode will hit home.
