Note: This is part two of a special two-part crossover episode! You can listen to the episodes in whatever order you like. Make sure to check out part one, Pauly's interview with Emily about her journey as an entrepreneur, on The Pauly Guglielmo Show. The episode should be available for you to download right in the It's a Lot feed!

Content warning: this episode contains discussion of infertility, miscarriage, and IVF. If those are sensitive topics for you, please take care when listening. If you'd like to skip that part, it starts around the 27 minute mark and ends around 39 minutes.

Food entrepreneur, podcaster, and dad of two Pauly Guglielmo joins host Emily Hessney Lynch for a conversation about running a business while raising kids, paternity leave struggles, childhood trauma, how we're trying not to traumatize our own kids, and more. We also discuss his and his wife's experience with infertility, miscarriage, and IVF, and what that was like for him as a person and a partner.

Don't worry, this episode is not a downer! We also talk about the joys of parenthood, like going to Costco and Fringe Fest with your 6-year-old, buying them little toys just to make them smile, the pride you feel putting food on the table, and the fuck around find out parenting style.

Fact check: during the episode, Emily mentions that 1 in 8 pregnancies ends in miscarriage and notes that she'll fact check herself later. Per the Cleveland Clinic, about 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
