This week’s episode is a mix of laughs, love, and a few unexpected creepy crawlers. 🕷️

We kick things off with Good Week / Bad Week:

• Sophia’s “bad week” features a spider infestation (made worse by her American aversion to open windows while sleeping in England).
• Bradley’s good/bad mix leads us right into a chat about what listeners had to say about maternity and paternity leave in the U.S. — and spoiler: it’s not what we thought.

Then, because it is a relationship podcast… we had to talk about the biggest relationship headline right now: Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce’s engagement. 👀

Finally, we dive into love languages. We guess each other’s, debate whether they’re legit (Brad’s skeptical), and share how we’re really doing at expressing love in ways that resonate with one another.

Today we dive into the big question weighing on us right now? 👉 Going back to work.

• When is the right time?
• Is daycare too soon when your baby’s still itty bitty?
• Do we ask family for help, even if it feels unfair?
• Nanny vs. daycare vs. doing it all ourselves — what’s actually sustainable (and affordable)?
• And how do we handle the guilt of leaving our newborn while trying to, you know, keep our jobs?

It’s a raw, real, and slightly sleep-deprived chat about what this next season might look like — and how we’re trying to figure it out together.

This week’s episode is packed:

👶 Sophia’s good week/bad week — from the huge milestone of our newborn finally latching to her guilty-pleasure reality TV binges during late-night pumping sessions.

⚽ Bradley’s good week/bad week — from tiny UK parking spaces that sparked some serious dad-rage to the joy of watching Manchester United with our son for the very first time.

⚖️ Couple’s Court is back and things get heated: Is being “on time” actually showing up 10 minutes early… or just on time? (Spoiler: we may never agree on this one.)

🎧 Plus, we read YOUR wild birth stories — from waters breaking in the frozen food aisle to a baby born in a hospital parking lot to sharing a maternity ward with a reality TV star and a full Bravo camera crew. Let’s just say, “going to plan” is overrated.
