This is a discussion regarding a bride-to-be who is furious that her grandmother’s funeral was scheduled for the same day as her wedding. The commentators explore whether her anger is justified, ultimately concluding that the family members in charge of funeral arrangements acted insensitively.

They argue that while honoring the deceased is important, a wedding involves significant financial investment and planning that cannot easily be changed. One speaker emphasizes that burial dates are flexible in modern times, making the overlap feel like a deliberate oversight by the family.

What are your thoughts on this? Was the family being vindictive in scheduling on this day or is this truly about grief?

Is the modern family crisis a result of economic shifts, or a fundamental failure of character?

In this episode, we take a hard look at the generational decline of paternal accountability in America. We explore a startling shift: how the "clandestine yet provided-for" families of previous eras have been replaced by a contemporary trend of multiple households marked by emotional and financial neglect.

We dive deep into the specific critique of the "1970s generation"—individuals accused of prioritizing their own pursuit of prolonged youth over the essential duty of mentoring the next generation. While we acknowledge the undeniable role of economic hardship, we center the conversation on the missing ingredients of personal discipline and self-correction.

This isn't just a critique of the culture; it’s a call for a return to individual agency. Join us as we discuss how the solution to a national crisis begins with the choices made behind closed doors.

A mother of six says the quiet part out loud and the internet loses its mind. In this episode, we break down the backlash faced by Sharon Johnson after she warned people to “absolutely not” have six children. Not because she hates her kids. Not because she regrets them. But because lived experience tends to ruin fantasy.

We unpack why honesty about motherhood triggers so much public rage, why “children are a gift” somehow means “never complain ever,” and how social media only tolerates parenting narratives that come wrapped in filters and inspirational music. Is Sharon wrong for being real, or are people just uncomfortable with a woman admitting that love and exhaustion can coexist?

This conversation dives into parental shame, influencer culture, financial and mental strain, and why society applauds transparency in theory but punishes it in practice. If you’ve ever wondered who actually gets to tell the truth about parenting and who gets yelled at for it, this episode is for you.

Spoiler: being mad doesn’t automatically make you right. And honesty isn’t child abuse.
