Relatable with The Roses

This week’s episode is a spicy one 🔥 — we’re diving into your most controversial, unpopular opinions and deciding whether we agree… or think you’ve completely lost the plot. From pizza toppings to whether or not kids should be in business class to if we would consider our dogs our kids (duh, yes we do!), nothing is off limits. Plus, we kick things off with Good Week / Bad Week , featuring a very...

In this week’s episode we’re talking about all the little things people say your kids notice — even when you think they’re not paying attention.  From how you handle stress to if you actually watch when they say "watch this!" It’s a conversation that had us reflecting, laughing, and getting a little worried about what's to come... Some of the habits and behaviors we unpack:  👀 If w...

It’s our anniversary week 🎉, so we’re celebrating with a game that tests just how well we really know each other: Do You Even Know Me? We take turns answering questions about ourselves to see if our partner can guess correctly. Spoiler alert: Sophia might know Bradley a little too well, and Bradley ends up sharing way more than he planned (oops). In this episode you’ll hear: The anniversary game...

This week we’re trying something new: Dear Roses 🌹—where you send us your real-life relationship dilemmas, and we do our best to give advice (with zero credentials, but plenty of opinions). From nosy in-laws to too many pumpkins, from snooze-button battles to TikTok in bed, we’re tackling the everyday quirks that couples face—and laughing our way through it. Plus, we also dive into some real ques...

Is it a 🚩 red flag… or actually kinda genius? This week, we’re diving into the little quirks, habits, and choices that couples make in marriage and asking: are they signs of trouble, or smart strategies to keep the peace? We put our own marriage under the microscope and debate the internet’s most talked-about “marriage red flags,” like: Some of these we totally do (and swear by). Others? Let’s ju...

This week’s episode is a mix of laughs, love, and a few unexpected creepy crawlers. 🕷️ We kick things off with Good Week / Bad Week : Sophia’s “bad week” features a spider infestation (made worse by her American aversion to open windows while sleeping in England). Bradley’s good/bad mix leads us right into a chat about what listeners had to say about maternity and paternity leave in the U.S. — and...

This week’s episode is packed: 👶 Sophia’s good week/bad week — from the huge milestone of our newborn finally latching to her guilty-pleasure reality TV binges during late-night pumping sessions. ⚽ Bradley’s good week/bad week — from tiny UK parking spaces that sparked some serious dad-rage to the joy of watching Manchester United with our son for the very first time. ⚖️ Couple’s Court is back a...

This week is a rollercoaster in the best, most Relatable with the Roses way. We dive into Bradley’s alternative health journey for stroke recovery —what he’s trying, how he’s feeling, and what’s next. (Hint: he hasn’t eaten in 12 days . Yep. We talk about why.) We also revisit Couple’s Court after getting a flood of messages from you all. The case on appeal? The Dishwasher Debate. Who actually won...

We’ve officially survived ( mostly ) the first month of parenthood — and let’s just say, nothing could have fully prepared us for what we’ve learned, lost (sleep), and leaked. In this episode, we’re unpacking: The parenting curveballs that hit harder than expected (hi, pelvic floor and baby poop panic) The wild breastfeeding journey — tongue tie, latch drama, and why nipples deserve hazard pay Pos...

In this episode, we pick up right where we left off — deep in labor, hanging on by a thread (and an epidural), and doing everything we said we didn’t want to do. Because when it comes to childbirth, your “birth plan” is more like a suggestion… and the universe might just laugh in your face. We talk through: The one thing I swore I wouldn’t do… and why I had to do it anyway The moment things got sc...

We had a baby! 🎉 But let’s rewind a bit… because the journey to meeting our son was anything but chill . In this episode, we take you inside the wild ride that was our birth story — starting with the moment we were told we’d be induced, all the way through 75 hours of poking, prodding, gas-and-air, and yep , screaming “I want a C-section” in a crowded ward. From one cervix that refused to coopera...

Recorded straight from the edge of chaos — this episode is coming to you just before we head to the hospital to be induced . Baby isn’t here yet , but the countdown is on... so we decided to record one last episode while Sophia’s contractions are still theoretical. We’re in the weirdest limbo — hospital bags packed, pants basically off, emotions running high, and zero clue how this is all going to...

In this very first episode of Relatable with the Roses , we’re introducing ourselves and sharing the real, raw, and occasionally ridiculous story of how we became “the Roses.” From our very first meeting to breakups, makeups, and Big Daddy moments (don’t worry, we explain that one!), we’re taking you behind the scenes of our relationship — no filter. We’re answering questions like:  ✅ How did we...

In this episode of Relatable with the Roses , we’re taking you behind the scenes of our entire IVF journey — the messy, the raw, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking. So many people keep these stories close to their chest, but we’re putting them right on the table. We answer your top listener questions about IVF, sharing what it really looked like for us: How many IVF cycles we went through The ha...

Welcome to a spicy episode of Relatable with the Roses, where we’re pulling back the curtain on one of our recurring arguments — and letting YOU be the judge. 👀 Every couple has that one thing they just can’t agree on… and for us, this is one of them. We each make our case, try to stay respectful (keyword: try), and then hand the mic over to you:  📣 Who’s right — Sophia or Brad? Vote in our Inst...

This one takes you way behind the scenes. We recorded this episode when Sophia was 9 months pregnant — swollen, emotional, and just three weeks out from meeting our son. We’re talking: The unexpected third-trimester symptoms no one warned us about 🤯 Our (very different) thoughts on making a birth plan and why Sophia’s still struggling to make a decision The honest, vulnerable fears that come with...

We're the Roses 👋🏻 This show is where we finally say the things we didn’t say out loud for years—from IVF and marriage challenges to career twists, expat life, and prepping for our first baby (who’s currently kicking during this recording). Relatable with the Roses is your permission slip to not have it all figured out. We're getting honest about the mess, the magic, and everything in...
