December 25, 2025 The Soundtrack of Our Lives
In this episode of Don’t Tell Daddy, we dive into the soundtrack of our lives: the music that raised us, healed us, and shaped who we are today. From the songs that played in the house growing up to the records tied to pivotal moments, memories, and seasons of becoming, we unpack how music carries legacy, emotion, and identity across generations. This conversation is equal parts nostalgic, honest, and joyful as we reflect on the artists and sounds that helped define our values, our confidence, and our creativity.
Whether it was gospel, R&B, soul, hip-hop, or the songs you didn’t understand until you got older—this episode is a reminder that music is more than background noise. It’s history. It’s inheritance. It’s personal.
Tap in, reminisce with us, and let us know in the comments: what songs make up the soundtrack of your life? Thanks for listening to the Don’t Tell Daddy Podcast where the mics stay

December 11, 2025 Faith, Spirituality & Who Jesus Is to Us | Don’t Tell Daddy Episode 3
In this episode of Don’t Tell Daddy, Chelsea and Elisabeth dive deep into the heart of their faith: who Jesus has been in their lives, the moments God has delivered them from, and how spirituality shapes the women they are becoming.
We open up about the difference between religion and relationship, how God guides us through seasons we didn’t think we’d survive, and the ways we’ve seen grace, protection, and purpose show up in real time. From childhood memories to adult revelations, we share our personal testimonies with honesty, laughter, and love.
If you’re navigating your own spiritual walk, questioning, rebuilding, or rediscovering your faith — this conversation is for you. God’s been too good for us to keep this quiet… so we’re talking about it.
New episodes every Wednesday at 7 PM. Subscribe, comment, and share your own testimony below. We’d love to hear how God has shown up for you, too. 💗✨ Thanks for listening to the Don’t Tell Daddy Podcast where the mics stay
