Holidays: The Double-Edged Sword

Professional wrestlers and married couple Brie Bella and Bryan Danielson join Oliver and Erinn to talk about all things married life, including whether or not pets take a backseat once you have kids, their differences in arguing styles, the benefits of marriage counseling, depression and mental health struggles and how to communicate that to kids, and more.

Oliver and Erinn talk with Rachel Sobel, the creator of “Whine and Cheez(its)” about dating as a single mom before meeting her husband and how things are different when you have a child when dating, setting the tone for a blended household, finding the right balance between giving kids a safety net vs letting them fail and learn from experience, parenting mistakes that only were realized after the first child, and more.

How Taye and Apryl wound up together, how we project our childhood issues onto our kids, working through our egos and past trauma during disagreements, how to really hear each other during arguments, how much to share our past sexual life with our current partners, and the importance of levity and humor in a relationship.
