Squad, it's Father's Day, which means Papi is back in the chair — and within the first 90 seconds I'm already mad at him for something he did in my dream last night. Welcome to marriage.

Meet Papi: Husband. Father of three. Professional avoider of feelings until cornered on a podcast. Wore a visor through two birth experiences for reasons he still cannot explain.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE WE GET INTO:

• 🎙️ The microphone confession nobody asked for (you'll know it when you hear it)
• 😴 Why I woke up furious at my own husband over something that happened in a dream — and he's still paying for it
• 👶 Rapid-fire dad questions: favorite kid, most expensive kid, who gave him the most gray hair (he answered honestly, mostly)
• 💍 The real talk on co-parenting, therapy, and the years it took us to stop attacking each other and start listening
• 😭 Papi gets emotional talking about losing his own dad — and what he hopes our kids take from watching him

💥 PLOT TWIST TAKEAWAY Father's Day isn't about the perfect gift or the perfect dad. It's about showing up, owning your fails, and letting your kids watch you keep trying. Papi's no hero in my dreams — but he's the real deal when it counts.

Because midlife isn't a crisis — it's a plot twist. xoxo melis
