Raw. Honest. Swearing and little unhinged. This podcast is about the reality of life as a couple trying to juggle kids, work, relationships, and mental health in a world that often feels like it’s stacked against us. We talk about the everyday struggles no one wants to admit out loud—the arguments, the overwhelm—and the bigger picture of dealing with a broken system that fails parents, families, and anyone just trying to get by. No filters, no fake perfection, just brutal honesty and the occasional laugh in the chaos.
