Forget the candlelit dinners and grand gestures for a second. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the mundane, slightly boring, and totally "unsexy" habits that actually keep our marriage from imploding.

While the world tells you romance is all about the sparks, we’re here to argue that a shared Google Calendar might actually be the ultimate love language. We’re getting into the nitty-gritty of how we manage our lives together, the role of therapy in keeping our lines of communication open, and why drawing firm boundaries is the kindest thing you can do for your partner.

It’s unconventional, it’s nuanced, and—as always—it’s completely unsolicited. Welcome to the "Go To Sleep Mad" guide to the stuff no one else wants to talk about.

Two former fitness trend victims unpack what actually works.

In this episode, we’re exposing the fitness trends we fully bought into — from veganism phases to CrossFit obsessions and all the wellness rabbit holes in between.

We talk about:
• The fitness identities we built way too seriously
• Trends that actually helped us
• The ones that absolutely did NOT
• How social media shapes fitness culture
• What we believe about health and training now

If you’ve ever reorganized your entire personality around a workout program, diet, or wellness trend… this episode is for you.

We live in California. We’re married. We pay rent. And no, we do not own a house—and at this point, it’s a running joke.

In this episode of Go to Sleep Mad, husband and wife Andrew and Lydia laugh (to keep from crying) about what it’s like living in California while being completely priced out of homeownership. From casually browsing Zillow like it’s satire, to explaining to relatives again why we’re still renting, this episode is less financial advice and more group therapy—with jokes.

We’re not experts. We’re not offering a plan. We’re just sharing the absurdity of California cost of living, millennial renting, and the unrealistic expectations of buying a house in your 30s.

🎙️ Go to Sleep Mad — Don’t listen to unsolicited advice… unless it’s from a podcast.

In this episode:
• Why Zillow browsing feels like comedy
• Renting in California as a married couple
• The illusion of the “starter home”
• Laughing through millennial money stress
• Choosing humor over housing advice
• Accepting that this might be our villain origin story

Most marriage advice says, “Never go to sleep mad.” We don’t buy it.

In this episode of Go to Sleep Mad, husband and wife Andrew and Lydia read the marriage expectations they wrote before getting married at 23—and react to them now at 30. What did we get right? What were we wildly wrong about? And how have time, conflict, and growth reshaped our view of marriage?

This honest, funny, and reflective conversation dives into marriage expectations vs reality, communication, unmet expectations, and why not all relationship advice works for every couple. If you’re married, engaged, or just want a realistic look at married life, this episode is for you.

🎙️ Go to Sleep Mad — Don’t listen to unsolicited advice… unless it’s from a podcast.

In this episode:
• Marriage expectations vs reality
• What we believed marriage would be like at 23
• How marriage changes in your 30s
• Conflict, communication, and growth
• Why “never go to sleep mad” doesn’t work for everyone
• Real marriage conversations without the fluff
