Relatable with The Roses

This week on Relatable with the Roses, we’re doing a very real Christmas recap — highs, lows, expectations, chaos, and all.

It was our son’s first Christmas, which meant excitement, pressure, big expectations… and the humbling realization that he has absolutely no idea what’s going on. We went all in trying to make it magical, only to learn (once again) that parenting has a funny way of keeping you grounded.

In this extended Good Week / Bad Week, we share what surprised us most about celebrating Christmas with a baby, the new traditions we accidentally discovered, and how different the holidays feel now that we’re parents. There were cinnamon rolls (lots of them), sweet moments, and — somehow — another poonami. Seriously… what are we doing wrong?!

It’s officially the holiday season, and we’re kicking things off the only way we know how — with honesty, chaos, and… another poonami story. 🙃😩 #whyus?

In this episode, we start with Good Week / Bad Week, where we somehow once again find ourselves asking: why does this keep happening to us?! If you’re a parent (or have ever been around babies), you’ll probably feel seen.

Then, we dive into a festive round of Naughty or Nice, where we give our very unfiltered opinions on holiday behavior, traditions, gifts, food, hosting, and everything in between. From fake Christmas trees (a surprisingly controversial topic) to holiday etiquette, nothing is off-limits, per usual. 

It’s a light, funny, and very relatable holiday episode to kick off the holiday week — perfect to listen to on a walk, in the kitchen, or while hiding from your family for a few minutes.

This entire episode is a love letter to New York — and a snapshot of a huge milestone for our family.

We’re recapping our whirlwind trip that included:

 🗽 Bradley speaking at an incredible event hosted by Carrot Fertility and Hello Heart, and what that moment meant after everything we’ve been through

✈️ Grayson’s first-ever flight (which went surprisingly well…!!)

💩 A poonami at 30,000 feet that we will never emotionally recover from

🚴‍♂️ Meeting some truly amazing Peloton members and being reminded why that community is so special

🏡 And finally, the feeling of coming home — visiting our home in New York for the first time with our son and seeing it through completely new eyes

This episode is coming to you a tiny bit late because… we were having way too much fun in New York and didn’t realize publishing failed. Casual. 😅

In true Relatable with the Roses fashion, we kick things off with Good Week / Bad Week, including:

🙈 The moment our housekeeper accidentally saw Sophia very naked
💌 The DM that completely made Sophia’s day
🗽 General NYC joy that may or may not have distracted us from, you know, work

Then we jump into answering your questions — the fun ones, the real ones, and the slightly unhinged ones:

 🎄 How Bradley booked One Royal Holiday on Hallmark
🔥 What sex is actually like after giving birth
👶 How we’re really doing as new parents
🏝️ And, of course… who would win Love Island

It’s light, chatty, and very “you’re hanging out with us on the couch” energy — thanks for your patience while we were off living our best New York lives.

This week is pure, unfiltered Rose household chaos — no guests, no structure, just Sophia and Bradley catching up on life and somehow spiraling into multiple stories you didn’t ask for (but will definitely enjoy).

We cover:

 🐶 The time Bradley lost Alfie in the woods.
Yes, a true horror story. Yes, Alfie is okay.
No, Sophia has not forgiven Bradley.

✈️ Our growing panic about flying to NYC with an infant.
Will he cry the entire time? Will we cry the entire time? TBD.

😵‍💫 Sophia’s very bad day.
Not dramatic, just extremely on brand.

🩳 Grayson’s hatred of wearing layers — just like his dad.
Bradley even shares the story of the time he stripped naked in a grocery store because he was too hot… and we fear Grayson might follow in his footsteps.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 

This episode is stuffed (pun intended) with YOUR hottest, most controversial Thanksgiving takes — and yes, we judge them all.

Plus, we share what we are grateful for this year — a product and a life moment that made our hearts explode — and fall down a rabbit hole of all the Thanksgiving dishes and traditions we desperately miss now that we live in England.

It’s festive, funny, and just chaotic enough to feel like real Thanksgiving.

We’re talking:

• Heading off to the Wicked premiere and if Sophia will make it in high heals 
• Sophia’s latest very real postpartum symptom that no one warned her about.
• A deep dive into furries — because somehow that came up and now we’re questioning everything we thought we knew about the internet.
• And… we let ChatGPT roast us and give us career advice — which was rude, accurate, and maybe even helpful.
