    An honest conversation about marriage after a decade together

    2026-07-08 | 1h 24 mins.
    We’ve officially been together for 10 years! In this episode, we’re sharing stories from our first date, reacting to some of our most cringeworthy old videos, and discussing the relationship advice that’s actually stood the test of time (and the advice we’d never follow). Thanks for being part of the journey with us. 🤍

In this episode, we’re sharing the funniest, weirdest, and most unexpected parts of postpartum life, and talking about how we're going to do things differently this time.

Abby opens up about becoming a VBAC candidate, navigating the risks and emotions that come with it, and why reaching the third trimester feels especially meaningful after our loss.
