  • Together, Separately
    Oct 4 2025

    In this episode, Christina and Eddie tackle two of the most virally debated relationship topics: couples taking separate vacations and sharing a queen-size bed. Is space the secret to a happy marriage, or does closeness keep the spark alive? They delve into their thoughts on separate vacations, why Matthew McConaughey might be onto something with his 'queen bed' theory, and how couples can find that sweet spot between independence and intimacy. It’s funny, real, and personal.

  • Thanksgiving Surprise Gone Wrong: Boundary Dilemma
    Sep 18 2025

    Picture this: Christina had been planning her first Thanksgiving turkey for months, recipes studied, seasonings lined up, apron pressed. Then Big Eddie swoops in like the Iron Chef of in-laws and throws the bird in the oven before she could even preheat it. 🤦🏽‍♀️

    In this episode, Christina and Eddie spill the stuffing on what really went down that Thanksgiving, how a turkey turned into a turf war, and why newlyweds need to set boundaries before someone else sets the table. They get real about family dynamics, “good intentions” that go sideways, and share how to protect your peace without turning holiday dinner into a food fight.

    Think of it as your survival guide to family, boundaries, and not letting your father-in-law become the surprise head chef of your relationship.

    In this episode, Christina and Eddie discuss the importance of establishing healthy boundaries in relationships, particularly within family. They share personal stories about boundary crossing during Thanksgiving celebrations, emphasizing the need for clear communication and understanding intentions. The conversation highlights the challenges couples face when navigating family dynamics and offers practical advice for establishing and maintaining boundaries without conflict.
