La La La

This week we’re back with a full 35-week pregnancy check-in: cravings (ginger snaps, peppermint mocha honey latte, and milk… so much milk), third-trimester symptoms, blood pressure anxiety hacks, and our nightly Lovenox routine that Adam has turned into a workout 😂 We talk about traveling at 35 weeks, what it feels like knowing I’ll be 39 weeks the week of Christmas, and the surprisingly emotiona...

In this week’s episode, we are officially in countdown mode – six weeks to baby (!!) – and you can hear the nesting energy through the mic. We catch you up on: • What we’re watching (Dancing with the Stars, Kardashians, and why male partners sometimes feel like just a prop on the dance floor) • What we’re eating (a dreamy Italian night at Salento, why restaurant Caesar salad hits different, and my...

I’m almost 32 weeks (!) and deep in nesting mode — fresh paint, projects everywhere, and a cozy house soundtrack courtesy of a Día de los Muertos Pandora station. We built our first ofrenda to honor our grandparents, our three spirit babies, and this little boy who’s “in between,” and I share what we left out (taco soup, orange slices, pumpkin cake, and a Diet Dr Pepper for Grandpa). We also talk...

This week we celebrate small wins, share our couples therapy strategy for hangry fights , react to Khloé Kardashian’s 3-year celibacy headline, and shout out the 80-year-old Ironman finisher . Cozy season, reflection, and practical relationship tips—without the fluff. Segments • Couples Therapy: What to do when one partner’s starving and the other “isn’t hungry yet” (our eat-something-now playbook...

This week feels like a deep exhale. We share about our blended-culture baby shower (Ojibwe, Nordic, and Mexican roots all in one celebration).  In Couples Therapy , we talk about how our communication has evolved — how we repair faster, fight softer, and sometimes just need to touch first, talk later . We also share the small changes that have made a big difference lately — from ditching the massi...

We’re officially into the third trimester and feeling both protected and prepared. This week we talk about finding redemption in small traditions (hi, Breeden’s Orchard 🍎), what pregnancy weight gain really looks like and why it’s healthy, and an iron-supplement routine that’s finally working. We also unpack our different “calendar brains” (24-hour vs. weekly) and how that impacts friendships, ho...

This week gets real. I open up about the wild timing between an ended friendship and finally getting pregnant with our baby boy — a piece to the story I’ve been hinting at for months. Adam and I dive into “Couples Therapy” to talk mismatched libidos (yep, we said it 😬), how pregnancy shifts intimacy, and why it’s actually okay to be honest about what works for you. Then we wrap with the “Pop Cult...

This week is a mix of nerves and magic — Adam literally heard our baby kick for the first time (!!) and we talk all about that surreal moment, plus my looming glucose test and the anxiety that comes with it. 🤰🏽✨ In Couples Therapy, we tackle one of the most relatable marriage debates: what do you do when you can’t agree on what to watch? From divvying up nights to forcing your partner into your...

This week we’re in full nesting mode, reflecting on eclipse season and why fighting just doesn’t work for us. 🌒 After eight years of marriage and only a handful of “big fights,” we unpack how we’ve learned to self-reflect instead of project, why trust is everything, and how some couples metabolize anger differently. In Couples Therapy, we get into how to handle conflict without blowing up, and wh...

Welcome baaaaaack! On 9/9 we did a fire ritual where we wrote down nine things we were ready to release and literally watched them burn. 🔥 It was equal parts clarifying, exhausting, and freeing — which sums up this pregnancy week pretty well. In Couples Therapy, we tackle one of the hardest questions: how do you make big life decisions together when you want different things? We talk about findin...

This week, Adam and I are catching you up on all the things — starting with our baby shower! 💙 The theme was Heaven Is a Place on Earth and we talk about what it meant to us after everything we’ve walked through. In Couples Therapy, we dig into a big question: what’s the best way to support your partner through a hard season? We get real about compatibility, how we’ve learned to leave space for e...

This week, I share the wild dream that convinced me this December baby was always meant to be — bruises, shots, and all. 🌈💉 It’s one of those full-circle pregnancy stories that still gives me chills. In Couples Therapy, Adam and I get real about why you should always take photos of your partner, and how to keep romance alive when life is crazy busy (hint: quickies on the couch aren’t just for te...

This week’s episode is a ride — we start with a story about the “three clouds” prophecy I was once told and how it strangely tied into my miscarriages and this rainbow pregnancy. 🌈 It’s wild to look back now and connect the dots. In Couples Therapy, Adam and I dive into the small stuff that can snowball into big arguments — you know, the socks on the floor, the dishes in the sink. We get real abo...

We’re back, babes — and we couldn’t stay away if we tried. In our very first (okay, technically 0.5) episode of La La La, Adam and I sit down to shake off the podcast rust, laugh through the awkward intros, and share some huge life news: we’re having a baby boy! 💙 We catch you up on where we’ve been, what it felt like to pause after walking through loss, and how it feels to finally be over halfwa...
