Marriage and parenting are full-time jobs—with no training, no pay, and coworkers who are somehow always sticky.
In this episode, Josh dives into the messy, beautiful, occasionally soul-crushing chaos of family life. From folding-clothes fights in marriage counseling to kids melting down over “spicy bananas,” nothing is off-limits.

You’ll hear:

  • How mental health affects marriages (even the strong ones)
  • The truth about parenting while neurodivergent
  • Why bedtime feels like a hostage negotiation
  • The emotional whiplash of loving your family but needing five damn minutes alone
  • How to stop comparing your family to a perfectly filtered lie

Whether you’re married, parenting, or just trying not to spiral in front of your kids—this one’s for you.
