In this episode, Gigi and Paige get raw about the realities of loving someone behind bars. From the pressure of being a “ride or die” to questioning if loyalty has limits, we unpack the unspoken struggles prison wives face every day. Is a prison marriage harder than a military one? Are conjugal visits a right or just a privilege? And what about the financial, emotional, and social costs that come with this life—often hidden behind closed doors?

The ladies also dive into the stigma, the sacrifices, and the hard truths: the difference between wives and girlfriends in the prison community, whether kids truly benefit from contact with an incarcerated parent, and if prison love is seen as “real love” in the outside world. Nothing is off-limits in this episode.

In this episode, Gigi and Paige take a heartfelt walk down memory lane and share the story of how they first met a few years ago. What started as a simple acquaintance quickly grew into a friendship, and eventually blossomed into a powerful sisterhood. The ladies reflect on the steps that led them to create the support group Love Within Walls, and how those conversations sparked the idea for A Prisonwife Podcast. Along the way, they open up about the bond that carried them from strangers to best friends — and ultimately to becoming true “podnahs” in life and this journey together.

In the closing chapter of our Summer Storytelling Series, Gigi and Paige welcome Donna, a former prison wife whose journey beautifully captures love, resilience, and the realities of life after incarceration. Donna opens up about meeting her husband while he was already serving time and the deep connection that led them to marry within prison walls. She reflects on the challenges of maintaining a relationship during those years apart and the hurdles they faced when he finally came home.

From navigating reentry struggles to building trust in a new chapter of freedom, Donna shares how her husband has been her person from the very beginning—the one constant through every change. Today, they are raising a child together and celebrating four years of life post-incarceration, stronger than ever. Her story is one of hope, commitment, and the power of love that endures against the odds.

In this deeply moving episode, Paige and Gigi sit down with Chloe, a wife and mother whose world changed when her husband was incarcerated last year in California. Chloe takes us back to when they first met nine years ago, sharing the love story that began with so much promise and the heartbreak of watching it collide with the tragic decisions he made after they started dating.

She opens up about the emotional rollercoaster that followed—navigating the shock of his arrest, the chaos of search warrants, the uncertainty of a trial, and the reality of his incarceration in another state, far from her and their young daughter. Chloe speaks candidly about the crushing loneliness, the new challenges of becoming a prison wife, and the complicated mix of love, grief, and resilience that define her days.

Through it all, Chloe shares how she learned to extend “grace” to her husband after wrestling with resentment for his crime, and why choosing to love him “unconditionally” has been both the hardest and most rewarding decision of her life. Her story is a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to stand by someone you love when the road ahead is uncertain—and how love can still grow in the most unlikely places.

In this powerful episode, Paige and Gigi sit down with Christina from Florida, who opens up about her courageous journey from surviving domestic violence to finding unexpected love with Kyle, who is currently incarcerated in the same state. Christina shares how her path as an advocate led her to Kyle—and how their connection became a source of strength and healing.

Despite facing harsh judgment and estrangement from family and friends who disapprove of her relationship, Christina remains committed to her truth. She speaks candidly about the emotional toll of loving someone behind bars, the loneliness of not having support, and the deep peace she’s worked to find after years of trauma.

This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t always look the way others expect it to—and sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones forged through resilience, faith, and self-acceptance.

We’re kicking off our Prison Wife Summer Storytelling Series with a powerful and heartfelt episode featuring special guest Claire. Claire shares the incredible story of how she met her husband—not once, but twice—and how fate brought them back together. She opens up about the unshakable love and loyalty that fuels her journey, the unconventional (and wild!) way she got married without a traditional ceremony, and what it’s really like navigating prison wife life in the face of judgment and haters. Claire also dives deep into the importance of finding your sisterhood in this journey and how her prison wife friendships have become her lifeline.
