Who brings home the bread (and who eats it first)? 🍞 In this hilarious and slightly spicy episode, we’re diving deep into the power dynamics of money in relationships. Does being the breadwinner make things weird in the bedroom? Should expenses really be split 50/50 when one partner’s income screams Range Rover, and the other’s says “maybe a used bike”? 🚲💸 We’ll unpack gender roles, financial equality, and why Dom deserves a Range Rover ASAP. Tune in for laughs, truths, and a healthy dose of relationship tea ☕.

This week, we’re getting real about something that might make you squirm a little: being naked in front of your kids. Yep, I’m officially a “naked mom,” and I’m here to tell you why that’s not as wild as it sounds. Kolter and I dive into the connection between how we see our own bodies and how that shapes the way our kids grow up seeing theirs. Spoiler alert: it’s more important than just walking around in your underwear. I share my journey to getting comfortable in my own skin—stretch marks, jiggles, and all—and how that’s led me to parent in a way that’s all about body positivity and self-love. Kolter, of course, has his own (hilarious) thoughts about what it’s like living with a wife who’s embraced this whole “naked confidence” lifestyle. Let’s just say there’s never a dull moment in our house. We also talk about the messages society throws at us, the shame we carry from childhood, and how we can break that cycle for the next generation. Plus, Kolter throws in a few zingers because, well, he can’t help himself. If you’re a parent—or just someone who’s trying to love yourself a little more—this episode is for you.
