Cody and Christine Howell are Small Business owners in Los Angeles, California. They're also the parents of a 10-month-old.

As fine jewelry designers who work from home, the Howells share their experiences with Steven, who's also self-employed, and Jake, who's still just a guy.

Cody and Christine share the pros and cons of getting to set their own schedules, they get real about the guilt they sometimes feel from the freedom that comes with owning a business, and they bring a plethora of tips, tricks, and antidotes for making the most of balancing owning a business while raising a child.

You can find their jewelry at Dear Survivor and Bloedstone.

TODAY'S PROMPT: Share a time where your way out the door to work was derailed by the perils of parenting.

Half Expecting is an interview podcast that brings levity to the daunting preparation of first-time fatherhood. Steven Busby (the expecting father) teams up with Jake Cuddemi (just a guy?), to bring on friends, pros, and experts in every possible field imaginable that could somewhat be related to parenting, in hopes of preparing Steven to be a DAD! A subscription and a nice comment go a long way. I mean, hell, Steven's got a baby he needs to take care of, cmon!!

Steven and Jake make up the comedy duo, "Just Let Me Help." They've been changing the lives of tens of tens of people on YouTube for years, and are hoping to use Steven's unplanned pregnancy to take over the internet.
