What happens when you go from loving partners… to basically roommates with two screaming babies, no sleep, and zero support?

This week, Deena sits down with her husband for the first time ever on the pod for an honest, raw conversation. Together, they open up about the silent resentments, postpartum breakdowns, missed expectations, therapy breakthroughs, and the rock-bottom moment when Deena said out loud: “I don’t want to do this anymore.”

But this isn’t just a story about almost falling apart—it’s a story about doing the deep, messy, sacred work of coming back together.

You’ll walk away feeling seen and less alone on the invisible labor load and why it breaks so many moms, plus a practical look at how they rebalanced their roles, restructured communication, and rebuilt trust. Oh, and an answer to what everyone has been asking: "How did you get your husband to go to therapy?!" (and how it changed everything).

It's ok if you're in the messy middle of your relationship. If you’re navigating the impossible mix of marriage, identity shifts, and parenting young kids—you’ll feel less alone. You’ll feel seen. You’ll feel hopeful.

And you’ll have the tools to start rewriting your own story.

You’ve been told tantrums are bad behavior. That your kid is “too much.” That if they’re melting down in the grocery store, you’re doing something wrong. Let’s burn that narrative to the ground.

In this raw, science-backed, and radically honest episode, Kristin and Deena unpack the real reason tantrums happen (spoiler: it’s not defiance), why old-school discipline tactics are failing our kids—and ourselves—and what to do instead.

We’re breaking generational cycles, regulating in the cereal aisle, and raising kids who don’t have to unlearn their feelings.

This isn’t just parenting. It’s a revolution.

For 35 years, she was labeled sensitive, dramatic, weird, too much. But she wasn’t any of those things—she was autistic. And no one saw it.

In this raw and powerful episode, we pull back the curtain on how autism is profoundly underdiagnosed in women—and why. We explore how masking, misdiagnosis, and outdated diagnostic tools have led to generations of girls being missed, misunderstood, and misnamed. You’ll hear Deena’s story—what everyone got wrong, what finally clicked, and what it’s like to be diagnosed late in life.

This episode isn’t just for people who know they’re autistic. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like an alien in the world. For the girls who were called difficult. For the women who never felt like they fit. For the parents wondering about their child. For the friend who’s finally starting to see the patterns.

This one will shift how you see autism—and how you see yourself.
