The Mr. & Mrs. Smith Podcast

As parents, we spend years preparing our kids to leave the nest. We teach them independence, responsibility, and how to navigate the world. But what happens when the world we're sending them into is scarier than we want to admit? 💔

In this episode of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Podcast, we're having a conversation that every parent of a daughter needs to hear.

With our own daughter getting closer to college, recent headlines surrounding the Cornell sexual assault allegations have us asking some uncomfortable questions.

Are we doing enough to protect young women? Or have we simply accepted sexual violence as part of our society?

When a major college campus survey finds that roughly 1 in 4 undergraduate women experienced nonconsensual sexual contact involving force or inability to consent since entering college, we have to ask ourselves: At what point do we stop calling these isolated incidents and recognize a systemic problem?

🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:

🚨 The alarming statistics surrounding sexual assault on college campuses

🎓 The fears that come with sending our daughter away to college

💔 Why so many victims never officially report sexual assault

🍹 College parties, alcohol, consent, and personal safety

👨‍👩‍👧 The conversations parents NEED to have with their daughters

👦 Why raising sons who respect women and hold their friends accountable is just as important

⚖️ Are universities doing enough to protect students and hold perpetrators accountable?

❤️ How do we prepare our daughters for the real world without teaching them to live in fear?

This isn't about blaming men, attacking colleges, or scaring our daughters into staying home forever.

It's about acknowledging a problem that has existed for far too long and asking what we can do to change it.

As parents, we want our children to experience everything life has to offer. But we also want them to come home safe.

And sometimes those two things feel harder to reconcile than we'd like to admit.

💬 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Parents: Are you more concerned about sending your daughter to college today than you would have been 20 years ago?

Women: What safety precautions do you take every day that you think men don't even realize?

Men: Has becoming a father changed the way you view women's safety?

🚨 DEAL BREAKER. 🙄 JUST ANNOYING. 😂 LET IT GO.

How well do you REALLY know your spouse after 20+ years of marriage? Apparently… we’re about to find out. 😂

In this episode of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Podcast, Nick and Diana are putting their marriage to the test with a game that sounds simple — until you actually have to defend your answers.

We’re tackling the things couples argue about, secretly judge each other for, and sometimes just have to LET GO.

💸 Spending $300 without telling your spouse?
📱 Liking attractive people’s Instagram photos?
😬 Your spouse’s family doesn’t like you?
🍰 Giving the kids dessert after the other parent said NO?
😤 Refusing to apologize first?
🍟 Stealing your spouse’s fries?
📺 WATCHING THE NEXT EPISODE WITHOUT THEM?!?!

For every scenario, we have only three choices:

🚨 DEAL BREAKER — Nope. We have a problem.
🙄 JUST ANNOYING — I hate it…but I’m probably keeping you.
😂 LET IT GO — Is this really worth fighting about?

And then comes the Smith Marriage Test — where we have to predict what the OTHER person is going to say.

After more than 20 years of marriage, three kids, plenty of disagreements and a whole lot of life together… we shouldknow each other pretty well.

Right? 😳

🎮 PLAY ALONG WITH US!

Drop your answers in the comments — and more importantly, give us YOUR scenario:

👇 DEAL BREAKER, JUST ANNOYING, OR LET IT GO?

We may use the best ones in the next episode!

If you’re married, dating, raising kids together, or just enjoy watching a husband and wife disagree about ridiculous things, this episode is for you. 😂

Real marriage. Real family. Real conversations. And absolutely no guarantee that we’ll agree.

We went to Maui for a relaxing family vacation… and somehow ended up with a story that sounds like it was written for a movie. 🌴😂

In this episode of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Podcast, we're giving you the full Maui Vacation Update—and there is A LOT to unpack.

The whole family made the trip to Maui expecting sunshine, beaches, good food, family time, and a chance to relax.

We got all of that.

But we also got mistakes, unexpected twists, freak accidents, and moments that had us wondering… HOW is this actually happening?!

Some of it was hilarious. Some of it was stressful. Some of it definitely wasn't funny when it happened. And some of it is going to be part of our family stories for the rest of our lives.

🌺 In this episode:

🏝️ Taking the whole family to Maui
😂 The moments that had us dying laughing
🤦‍♂️ The mistakes we probably won't make again
😳 The freak accidents nobody saw coming
❤️ Traveling together as a family
🌊 The incredible moments that made all the chaos worth it
🎬 And the series of events that genuinely felt like they belonged in a movie script

Family vacations rarely go exactly according to plan—and maybe that's what makes them memorable.

Fun was had. Mistakes were made. Freak accidents happened. Memories were definitely created.

Grab a drink and hang out with us because this is one vacation recap you have to hear from beginning to end. 😂

👇 QUESTION FOR YOU:
What's the CRAZIEST thing that's ever happened on one of your family vacations?

Mental health is real—even when you can’t see it. ❤️

In this episode of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Podcast, we’re having a conversation that too many people still avoid: mental health.

This one gets personal.

We share our own experience with postpartum depression—what it looked like inside our family, how difficult it was to recognize and understand at the time, and what we learned going through it together.

But this conversation goes beyond postpartum depression.

We talk about depression, anxiety, the pressure to appear like everything is okay, and why someone can look completely fine on the outside while fighting something very real on the inside.

Most importantly, we talk about how we can do better—as spouses, parents, friends, family members, coworkers, and simply as people.

In this episode, we discuss:

❤️ Our family's experience with postpartum depression
🧠 Why mental health struggles aren't always visible
🤝 How to better support someone who's struggling
🗣️ Why talking about mental health matters
👨‍👩‍👧 How mental health can affect an entire family
❤️‍🩹 What we wish we understood sooner
💙 How we can create more compassion and less judgment

Just because you can't see someone's struggle doesn't mean it isn't real.

If you've experienced postpartum depression, anxiety, depression, or another mental health struggle—or you've loved someone who has—we hope this conversation makes you feel a little less alone and encourages more of us to talk openly about what we're going through.

What's something you wish more people understood about mental health?

Every family has a story. But not every story has to continue. ❤️

In this episode of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Podcast, we dive into one of our deepest and most personal conversations yet—generational curses.

What are generational curses? Are they simply bad habits passed from one generation to the next, or something deeper?

We share the patterns we recognized in our own families, the struggles we faced because of them, and the intentional choices we've made to give our children a different future.

This isn't about blaming previous generations. It's about recognizing unhealthy cycles, extending grace, and making the difficult decision to change the legacy we leave behind.

• What "generational curses" really mean
• The unhealthy patterns we experienced growing up
• The conversations that changed our marriage and parenting
• How we've intentionally worked to break those cycles
• The legacy we hope to leave for our children
• Why healing starts with honest conversations

Whether you're raising children, preparing for a family, or simply trying to become a healthier version of yourself, we hope this conversation reminds you that your past doesn't have to define your future.

👇 Question of the Day:
What's one unhealthy family pattern you've worked hard to break—or hope to break—for the next generation?

In this episode of the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Podcast, we dive into one of the most important conversations we've had: relationships and boundaries.

This episode isn't about marriage. It's about the relationships we all have with friends, family members, coworkers, and the people we allow into our lives.

As we grow, our relationships naturally evolve. Some become stronger. Others become more distant. And sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do is create boundaries that protect your peace, your mental health, and your family.

We share our personal experiences, lessons we've learned, and why saying "no" isn't selfish—it's often necessary.

• 🤝 Why relationships naturally change over time
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Setting healthy boundaries with family
• 👥 Navigating friendships through different seasons of life
• 💼 Managing workplace relationships without sacrificing your values
• 🛡️ How boundaries protect your peace, your marriage, and your children
• ❤️ Why healthy boundaries actually create healthier relationships

If you've ever struggled with guilt, people-pleasing, or protecting your family's peace, this conversation is for you.

👇 Question of the Day:
What's the hardest boundary you've ever had to set—and did it make your life better?

We'd love to hear your story in the comments.

We also share the emotional story of our daughter's recent car accident and how moments like these remind us just how precious life is.

If you're a parent, thinking about becoming one, or have parents of your own, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

• ❤️ The fears that begin before your child is even born
• 🚗 How our daughter's car accident impacted our family
