Show notes

Emily recounts a series of bizarre Kroger encounters, including a possible run-in with King Von’s son, a woman who actively avoids her mid-aisle, and mounting evidence that Jason might be protected by a guardian angel. Just another completely normal trip to the grocery store.

Time Is Speeding Up (And It’s Freaking Us Out) Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

Episode Description

In this episode, we talk about the strange feeling that time is speeding up. Days that used to feel full now disappear before we even get our bearings, and somehow 24 hours feels more like 16.

Is this just what happens as you get older, or is there something deeper going on? We get into the psychology of time, how routines and responsibilities change our perception, and why life can start to feel like it’s moving faster than we can keep up with.

We also entertain the more out-there possibilities… because honestly, it does feel a little suspicious.

The Freedom of Realizing No One Cares Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

Ever feel like everyone is watching you… judging your parenting, your choices, your life?

Yeah—same. But what if that’s not actually true?

In this episode, we talk about the strange (and freeing) reality that most people aren’t nearly as focused on you as you think they are. In fact, studies show people are so wrapped up in their own lives, they barely notice what anyone else is doing.

We unpack why we feel judged in the first place, how social media has made it worse, and what happens when you finally let go of the pressure to perform for everyone else.

Turns out, the spotlight you think you’re standing in… might not even be on.

Episode Description

What is camping, really? Is it about discomfort, simplicity, or just getting out of your normal routine? We talk through the spectrum—from tents to RVs—and why everyone seems to have a strong opinion about what “counts.” Somewhere along the way, we realize the definition might not be the point at all.

Emily completely loses it in this episode... Mar 20, 2026

In this episode, we talk about what kids have really done to us. The ways we’ve grown, the ways we’ve been stretched, and the ways we barely recognize our old selves anymore.

We Were Finally in a Groove… Then Baby #3 Happened Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

We were finally in a groove.

Our kids are older. Life feels manageable. We’re sleeping again. Traveling feels possible. We kind of know what we’re doing.

So naturally… we’re four months from having a new baby.

In this episode, we talk honestly about what it means to add a third child when life already feels full. The excitement, the hesitation, and the very real question: how much does this actually change everything?
