We grew up with food being labeled “good” or “bad.” With sweets treated like gold and guilt baked into every bite. With pressure to finish our plates and shame if we didn’t. We’re breaking that cycle. In this episode, we’re sharing 3 powerful ways we’re helping our kids build a healthy, shame-free relationship with food and their bodies:

Why we don’t hype up sweets (no food gets put on a pedestal)

Why we never force bites or make them earn dessert

Why we don’t call any food “bad,” not even packaged snacks

This isn’t about raising perfect eaters. It’s about raising kids who trust their bodies, enjoy food, and feel good around the table—for life.

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.
