Don’t Tell Your Father

Summer is somehow almost over, so we're asking the most important question: Did we actually have a good summer?

We're looking back at what we did, what we totally failed to do, and what we're still trying to squeeze in before school starts. 

In this episode, we get into:

Whether you are hanging onto summer with all of your might, running gleefully through the back-to-school aisles at the store, or somewhere in between, this episode is for you. 

There are firsts you remember forever, and for us, this was one of them. This week we're reliving Wren's very first concert: seeing Noah Kahan together. We're sharing everything that made the night unforgettable.

In this episode, we talk about:

So, whether you are a concert newb, a live music maven, or somewhere in between - if you've ever had a favorite song become a core memory, this one's for you.

What would you do if money wasn't part of the equation? This week, we're throwing budgets, responsibilities, and financial literacy out the window (just for fun) as we imagine what our lives would look like if money truly didn't matter.

In this episode, we chat about:

Whether you've dreamed of a beach house, traveling the world, or just never having to fold laundry again, this episode is your permission slip to imagine life without limits. Grab your favorite snack, start making your mental shopping list, and come dream with us...just don't tell dad.

We're coming to you straight from the lake this week for a very short episode. No studio (ahem, basement bar table), no overthinking, just a couple of pink microphones, a boat, and some very important opinions about how summer is meant to be lived.

In this episode, we get discuss:

Whether you're listing from the lake, the pool, the backyard, or your air-conditioned car on the way to a summer destination, we hope this episode inspires you to embrace your own feral girl summer.

And if you come up with a lake rule we missed, send it our way ([email protected]) - we are always looking to expand the rule book.

This episode is for every girl who has ever hidden a hobby, second-guessed a text, or wondered if she's "too much" From middle school to adulthood, we're all handed invisible rules about what's cool, what's embarrassing, and what's just plain weird. This week we're throwing those rules out.

In this episode, we get into: 

If you've lied about what you're reading, worried someone would judge your playlist, or apologized for being yourself, this episode is your permission slip to embrace your wonderfully weird little self.

Don't tell your father...but we think the weird girls are the ones doing it right.

Wren spent a week at College for Kids, and Mom has a lot of questions. From first-day nerves and making new friends to the best snacks, funniest moments, and whether college food is really as bad as everyone says, we're getting the full report.

In this episode, we talk about:

Whether your kid is heading to camp, dreaming about college, or you just love to hear about Wren's adventures - this episode is full of new experiences, honest reactions, and a reminder that growing up is exciting, awkward, and sometimes hard on the parents!

The plan was simple: set a timer, take turns asking each other questions, and keep things light.

The reality? Mom immediately started asking way too many deep questions, Wren kept trying to steer things back to the fun ones, and somehow, we ended up reminiscing about sweet childhood memories before completely ignoring the timer anyway.

In this episode, we dive into:

This episode is a reminder that the funniest conversations often become the most meaningful - and that moms are physically incapable of not asking "just one more question."

Don't forget to follow, leave a review, and share this episode with someone you'd love to ask a few questions...even if they roll their eyes halfway through the first question.

What happens with the younger brothers finally get their hands on our pink microphones? Pure chaos.

While Wren is away for a week, the boys waste absolutely no time exposing family secrets, airing sibling grievances, and sharing some truly questionable hot takes.

In this episode, we get into:

Whether you're an eldest daughter, a younger sibling, or just trying to survive family life, this episode will make you laugh, cringe, and probably text your siblings.

Don't tell dad the boys took over the podcast. We don't think we're getting our microphones back.

Beauty standards are everywhere - and somehow they're always changing. In this episode of Don't Tell Your Father, we're unpacking the messages we've received about our bodies and challenging the idea that our appearance is our most important quality.

In this episode, we dive into:

Whether you're raising a daughter, surviving middle school, recovering from beauty standards, or simply trying to feel more at home in our own skin, this conversation is for you.

Because your body is not a trend, not a project, and definitely not a before picture. 

This week, we tackle the age-old question: did birth order shape who we are...or are we all just looking for someone to blame? As an oldest child and a youngest sibling, we compare notes on responsibility, people-pleasing, attention-seeking, and the family roles we may or may not have been assigned at birth.

Along the way, we discuss:

Some of it is backed by research. Some of it is backed by personal experience. All of it is backed by sibling grievances.

Whether you're the family rule-follower, peacekeeper, or wild card, this episode might explain a few things - or give you fresh material to use against your siblings.
