Two Wives, One Mic

A quick life update, Deena finally conquers the washer from hell, Penny survives an ER visit migraine that leads to a surprise hiatal hernia diagnosis, and together we navigate therapy, family healing, and holiday chaos. It’s real, it’s raw, it’s us. One last time as Two Wives One Mic before we rebrand to Unfiltered with Deena & Penny.

In this candid episode, we open up about real life, completely unfiltered. From surviving COVID and fixing a rogue dishwasher to navigating ADHD, family milestones, and Christmas decorating in November (minus the tree), nothing’s off-limits. We talk self-care rituals, therapy wins, and big travel dreams for 2026. All while redefining what our family joy looks like during the holidays.

New grandparents, nervous-system healing, and the beautiful chaos of chosen family. We catch you up on birth stories, HRV scares, PHP/IOP next steps, tiny wins (pumpkin farms, Pilates), and big shifts—like choosing safety, love, and consistency over obligation. It’s raw, real-time healing with two wives, one mic, and zero filters.

Saddle up, y’all. This week Penny & Deena take you on a wild ride through their Montana ranch adventure. From cowboy boots and wide-open spaces to Penny’s unforgettable fall (and survival!) off a horse, it’s equal parts hilarious and heart-stopping. The wives spill on: The beauty of Flathead Lake Ranch (and Yellowstone inspo) What happens when your phone (and body) go flying mid-gallop Watching hu...

This week we officially rebrand to Two Wives. One Mic. and catch you up on all the beautiful chaos: why we skipped our Alaska cruise to be home for a very possible early grandbaby, the deep-clean nesting marathon, and our new obsession with finding the perfect Class C RV (closed bedroom door, please and thank you). We review HIM (symbolic, a tad testosterone-heavy, still a recommend), share our fa...

This week we open up about a whirlwind stretch of life, from our daughter’s preterm labor scare and the fight to reach 37 weeks, to Penny’s post-ACDF recovery and the surprising calm that followed. We dive deep into trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and how lifestyle shifts (goodbye, Red Bull and alcohol 👋) are reshaping focus and peace. Along the way, we reflect on vagus nerve science, CPTSD healing, and t...

From pop-up-trailer “thud”s and a mosquito invasion (send help + citronella) to lost keys at the dunes, a butterfly-kiss miracle, and the moment Moses Lake sparked sobriety—this one’s peak family-camping energy with real talk about boundaries, addiction, and healing. We preview pink-Halloween décor, a Voodoo Doughnut/Spirit Halloween duck hunt, The Conjuring date night, RV dreams, Alaska cruise po...

Buckle up, because this week’s WTF moment takes us from Thanksgiving airport madness to cruise ship chaos — complete with missed flights, 18 hours stranded at SeaTac, a wild hospital adventure in Nassau, and a bunk-bed fall that turned into a lawsuit. Somehow, between the broken ribs, leaky toilets, and pirate-ship bars, we still managed to find the magic (and the margaritas). We also share family...

Big news: Deena officially joins me as co-host of Dear Past Me, WTF? 🎙️ If you’ve been enjoying our back-and-forth, now you’ll get even more of it every week. In this episode, we dive into life updates that are funny, real, and totally relatable. We start with G’s move into online school — the challenges of high school anxiety, missing out on “typical” experiences like dances, and how parents make...

This week, I sit down with my wife Deena—aka the Spiritual Gangsta—for a candid, laugh-filled interview. We talk about her life, our story as a couple, and what makes us work. Along the way, we cover our recent camping trip, a grown-ups-only All You Can Zoo adventure, my surgery recovery, cruise and vacation plans, and what it’s like to raise a well-rounded teenager together. It’s part deep dive,...

In the very first episode of Dear Past Me, WTF?, I’m introducing… well, me. I share who I am, why I decided to start this podcast, and the raw, real, sometimes chaotic topics we’ll dive into — from motherhood, marriage, and queerness to loss, healing, and all the messy life moments in between. Think of it as a seat at my kitchen table, where nothing’s off-limits and every story is fair game.
