Postpartum depression, invisible string theory & creating new holiday traditions Nov 21, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! Harrison finally went back to the dentist and they rolled out the red carpet (see: https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod/video/7409333328458911007). Then, we dive into some holiday debates, like whether it’s too early to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, and share our thoughts on creating new holiday traditions. We also discuss the foods we could eat for six months straight (like tater drinking her milk), plus answer your questions about life as parents, dating an influencer, and the relationship shifts we’ve experienced since having a baby.

We wrap things up with a discussion on postpartum depression—what it feels like, how to support a partner through it, and available resources.

As always, thank you for listening! ❤️

How much $$$ is a night nurse, best baby items to splurge on & are dairy allergies real? Nov 14, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 This week, we talked about baby restaurant etiquette and our new love of wine nights. 🍷 We also dove into our thoughts on night nurses: the benefits, the costs, and whether it’s worth it. 🍼💸 We share which luxury baby items are worth every penny—and which ones are just... not. 😅 We took a look back at the last 60 days of parenthood—what we’ve learned, what we’ve loved, and what’s been a complete game-changer. Plus, we wrapped things up with a discussion about why dads seem to get so much “extra credit” these days. 🤔

As always, love you guys! ❤️

We’re talking about the reality of flying with a newborn for the first time (spoiler alert: traveling is not as easy as it used to be). We also talk about the dos and don’ts when meeting someone’s newborn. Plus, we get into how we split travel expenses as a couple (bc y’all are always asking in my DMs) including whether it’s okay to ever ask your partner to foot the entire bill.

Finally, we weigh in on modern-day etiquette - talking to uber drivers, masks on planes, airport pickups—are we still doing these things in 2024?! As always—love you guys! ❤️

Boob jobs, cheating in school & are kids developing slower? Oct 24, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We start off with (what we're guessing is) a familiar struggle of the canceled babysitter. We also realized we needed to get on a school list for school like before conception (who knew?) and dive into everything school from "out of classroom growth days" to some high school cheating stories.

We share our thoughts on Trump’s McDonald’s shift and discuss the CDC delaying developmental timelines (but honestly it’s hilarious we even care, considering we finally figured out how to use our stroller and change diapers hahhaha)

Plus, we chat about post-baby body changes (mainly post-baby boob jobs)

Real-life ‘Nobody Wants This’, our families & blending two religions Oct 17, 2024

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We’re all over the place today, starting with what my doctor is calling a "vaginal miracle" then diving into parental brain fog (maybe that's why we're all over the place lol). We talk about why we’ve stopped discussing our kid ('but Alex you have a podcast where all you've been talking about is your baby?!") and tackle the bizarre question of whether I should eat my placenta or use it to plant a tree.

We discuss how we're navigating raising a child with two religions and share our personal journeys with our religions. Plus, we’ll touch on Canadian Thanksgiving, give some family updates, and share our work pet peeves.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We’re diving into some *funny* & real new parent topics today (sorry, we’re only three weeks in—new topics of convo coming soon!).

We chat about whether both partners should get up for nighttime feeds. Spoiler alert: I don’t think so… Then we tackle the question: would you ever facetune your baby? I also share how I really feel about my postpartum body and recovery.

Harrison follows-up on his “all dentists are scammers” conspiracy theory - he’s not so happy with his new Austin dentist.

When a girl slides into your boyfriend's DMs... (ft. Harrison) Aug 08, 2024

When a girl slides into your boyfriend's DMs... Harrison and I had something *interesting* happen in our relationship this week (see title). We thought it would be valuable to discuss the boundaries we set in our relationship early on and why boundary setting is important for maintaining a healthy relationship. We cover topics like keeping in contact with exes, opposite sex friendships, sharing passcodes, location sharing, going out, and more.

Comparing less and living more w/ Y7 Studio’s Sarah Larson Levey Jul 25, 2024

This week on the podcast, I sit down with Sarah Larson Levey, Founder/CEO of Y7 Studio and a momma of two. As a business owner, mom, and NYC to Austin transplant, I knew there’d be a ton I could learn from Sarah, and she certainly didn't disappoint.

Sarah opens up about her path from launching Y7 as a pop-up to transforming it into a renowned yoga community focused on inner growth and self-acceptance. She talks into Y7's mirror-free philosophy, explaining how it helps individuals break free from the comparison trap. This mindset extends beyond yoga into Sarah's experiences in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and overcoming personal challenges like two miscarriages.

Hope you guys enjoy Sarah’s insights on reducing comparison to foster personal growth and happiness in every aspect of life :)

Advice from a therapist on how to stop being a people pleaser & start putting yourself first Jun 27, 2024

In this week’s episode, I’m getting advice from a therapist on how to stop being a people pleaser & start putting yourself first - two things I’ve been *trying* to prioritize throughout pregnancy. I’m joined by Dené Logan, a Marriage & Family Therapist, Author, and Podcast Host.

I learned a TON from Dené that I’m excited to put into practice - hope you guys did too!

MID-YEAR RESET (goal setting & manifesting our next 6 months) Jun 13, 2024

In this week’s episode, Harrison and I do a complete mid-year reset, with a focus on goal setting & manifesting our next 6 months. I have a TON of major life changes happening right now - soon-to-be mom, new business, new relationship, moving cities (🤯) - I needed a little reset.

We walk through Harrison’s goal-setting framework, which covers five key buckets: family, friends, love life, impact (job), and wellbeing. And also share our goals for the second half of the year, as individuals and as a couple.

Two things I learned while prepping… You are 42% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down, and 65% more likely if you share them with an accountability partner. What do you think my odds are now that I’ve shared them with all of you?!

Add your goals in the comments below.👇👇Let’s do this together!!

This weekend Harrison’s mom & sister hosted a baby shower for me in Vancouver. 15/10 - no notes. The decorations, the plan for the afternoon, the company - everything was perfect. Happy to share details - shoot me your questions in the comments!!!

OK so what’s getting me through my second trimester?!

Here’s my R.E.P.O.R.T:

[R]eading - Baby books!! To the little babe every night before bed :-)

[E]ating - DAIRY. Any other moms suddenly no longer lactose intolerant?

[P]laying - NOT music. I can’t stand the sound of music while I’m pregnant. Need to do more research here…

[O]bsessing - Over FINDING A PLACE TO LIVE. I need to nest - and start decorating her room.

[R]ecommending - OK more books - but this time for you guys - anything by the author Jennie Allen!!

[T]reating: Lots of rest - currently developing a brain inside my stomach (don’t text)

Breaking down our budget, prenup & child support agreement (our "money talk") May 30, 2024

Happy Thursday! In today's episode, Harrison and I dive into a conversation we think every couple should have – the all-important "money talk." We discuss how we’re going to structure our budget, prenup (cohabitation agreement in our case 😉), and child support agreement.

I've received tons of DMs about the "money talk" before marriage and the transparency (or lack thereof) in how couples handle their finances (budgeting, joint bank accounts, prenups, etc.). We're breaking down our process, what we've learned, and our final decisions in hopes of normalizing this conversation.

Thank you to our partners this week:
