Can you actually learn to be happy? We all know that happiness isn't something you can buy, but can money help make you happy? So many of us are living pretty great lives but miss it because we’re busy chasing the next thing, comparing ourselves to everyone else, or feeling like we’re not where we “should” be. If your life doesn’t look exactly like the picture you envisioned, maybe it's time to recalibrate. We’d love to hear your take: What actually makes you happy right now? And if you’re feeling a little unhappy, what do you think would help you get there?

Teen sports are equal parts commitment and carpooling. In this episode, we’re talking about that tricky moment in time when your kid wants to quit sports. Do you let them? Do you push through? Some parents have rules like “one school sport per semester,” but we’re not in the market for forcing our kids to do things they’re miserable doing—because then guess what? It becomes our problem. When to back off, when to encourage, and when to just let them call it quits?

When we got married, we were young, in love, and willing to compromise a little to make it all work. But now, with a little life experience in the rearview mirror—and peri-menopause messing with our hormones—we have to ask: Would we do it all again, knowing what we know now? In this episode, Nat opens up about one of the biggest compromises in her marriage—something Mark let go of that didn’t seem like a huge deal at the time, but looking back, turned out to be far more meaningful than either of them realized.

We are back to recap Nat’s big night out with the girls. She went to a dance club ready to relive her glory days and see how many men would hit on her—heels on, hair done, full confidence activated—and left a little… confused. Not one guy tried to pick her up. Not a wink, not even a drink. Was it the wedding ring? The unshakable confidence? We definitely need a do-over, but maybe this time the wedding rings will stay home.

There’s helicopter parenting, bulldozer parenting, attachment parenting—and now lighthouse parenting. Honestly, we think we do middle of the road parenting: the do-what-works-best-for-you kind of parenting. It all gets messy when we start judging other people’s choices. We’re doing what works for us, and that doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else. You can love us or hate us, but at the end of the day, we’re just here to share our experiences. Do what’s right for your family.

We need to know what really goes down in a beer league locker room. Are people just casually walking around naked?  Are their unspoken rules? Do you compare? We’d love an invite—strictly for observational purposes, of course. We’ll act normal. Eyes up. Promise.

We started this episode off by discussing the airport theory—the one where you roll up as close to your flight as possible, breeze through security, and avoid wasting precious time browsing overpriced snacks. Basically, it’s how we’ve always done it… and now the internet finally gave it a name. We also shared some pretty funny border crossing stories, including the time Nat got asked if she was in adult entertainment. And we wrapped things up with a chaotic attempt to remember the name of a baseball team that involves bananas.

We're not here to pat ourselves on the back, but we do like to keep it pretty real with our kids. Like how open we are about who we were back in the day—what we were like at school, how we handled being students and how we literally tapped out of traditional education at a certain point. We can help our kids with homework but at some point we hit our cap. When we were growing up, there was no ChatGPT—you had to call a friend, compare notes, and figure it out together. It was all peer-to-peer, and we kind of miss that.

We dive right into the wild ride that is perimenopause—and let’s just say, it’s not a great time to be doing annoying husband things. Perimenopause has a way of turning up the volume on every little habit that used to mildly irritate you, and now you might just lose your mind over everything he does.

Nat gets very real with story after story about the little things she used to let slide. No time for that anymore.

Hormones may be fluctuating, but the standards are rising. If you're in perimenopause—or even standing on the edge of it—you know the truth: you’re not crazy, you’re just done with the crap.

Is White Lotus good or are we just hooked on chaos? We did a bit of a deep dive into White Lotus—before the season finale dropped. We're watching rich people spiral in luxury resorts, there’s major tension, awkward conversations, and that constant feeling that something bad is about to happen. It’s somehow so messed up… yet nothing is happening at the same time. Every character feels a little off in the most fascinating way. Subtle seeds are being planted. Let us know what you think, is this show brilliant or not worth it?
