This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re getting into the stuff no one tells you about becoming a new parent (REQUEST FROM Y’ALL: Comment the craziest thing you learned as a new parent that no one told you—because we know there’s more) From the first postpartum period (it was insane), to the unexpected ways your body, routine, and relationship shift, we’re talking about worst and best parts of this phase. Before we get into it, we share updates on consolidating Tate’s feeding cadence, what happened on our parents night out (Alex Warren concert!!!), and our first home reno project finally being done!! Plus, remember computer typing class??? Because we do - and we suddenly want to play Sims and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? In Things We DMed Each Other — a wild peek into how Cocomelon producers optimize for kid engagement (terrifying??), and a conversation on revenge bedtime procrastination (yes, it’s real).

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — hi! If you’re here from TikTok, we’ll get into that in a bit… But first, we’re talking about why kids are being potty trained later these days (side note: can we stop calling 3-year-olds “36 months”??) and how our health habits have shifted now that we’re out of the newborn fog. In Things We DMed Each Other: a $30 million Bitcoin surprise, the most unhinged lies parents tell their kids, and a middle school teacher allegedly giving students alcohol (?!). Plus, a little brain break: we’re watching a lot more TV lately (read: we’re still drinking less )and we try not to give any spoilers (but I guess BEWARE).  We get into why the internet needs to chill on shaming moms— we’re all for constructive criticism, but enough with tearing women down / pitting women against eachother. And yes, I said vitamin C and meant D… nobody’s perfect. …Finally, hi again to the people from TikTok! We unpack the drama we’ve found ourselves in BUT I think I’m gonna make you watch to find out what we think about it.  Thanks for being here — WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re getting a real look at fatherhood from a new dad’s perspective. Harrison’s answering all your questions: What does “providing” actually mean to him? Did he bond instantly with Tate? What’s surprised him the most about being a dad? And how has his view of me changed since becoming a mom? Before we get into it, we’ve got some updates: new neighbors (👀), MDW (it looks different these days) and Alex’s thoughts on babysitters leaving dishes in the sink..  And in Things We DMed Each Other, we’re talking Google’s new Veo model (WOAH and also LOL) and the very dark side of crypto. We LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast 00:08:35 We have new neighbors!!  00:14:50 Do we all have the same memory of accidentally hugging a man who’s not our dad? LOL 00:17:30 Babysitters & going above and beyond  00:25:50 Dad’s POV Q&A: How does your perspective or view of your partner change when you watch them go from just your partner to being a mom? 00:28:26 Dad’s POV Q&A: Did he feel an instant connection with Tate or did it take time since men aren’t the ones carrying the child? 00:31:48 Dad’s POV Q&A: What helped you bond with you baby as a first time dad? 00:34:57 Dad’s POV Q&A: What is something he didn’t think he could do being a dad that has become so innate? 00:37:10 Dad’s POV Q&A: What does “provider” mean to him? In what area of life do they believe they need to provide the most (ex: making money, showing up consistently, spending time together, listening & responding, making decisions, etc)? 00:40:28 Dad’s POV Q&A: How does he feel in regards to how much he does compared to you? My husband always says he feels like he could do more but he already does a lot. Im curious if other husbands feel the same insecurity being the dad? 00:43:34 Dad’s POV Q&A: How has he found life has changed since having Tate? 00:48:30 Dad’s POV Q&A: What is a guy’s POV on housework & home duties? Who should do what? 00:54:36 Dad’s POV Q&A: For the single moms - thoughts on loving a woman and a child that not your own? 00:56:20 Things We DMed Eachother: Google Veo 3 00:58:58 Things We DMed Eachother: The darkside of crypto 01:05:08 LOVE YOU GUYS!  #twoparentsandapod Thank you to our sponsors this week: Blueland – Right now, get 15% off your first order by going to https://www.Blueland.com/TWOPARENTS.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we bought a car (!!), Harrison is trying his hand at DIY (or at least I thought he was??), and we’re diving into how becoming parents has shifted our relationship with alcohol. From who gets up with Tate after a night of drinks, to what we did when one of us wanted to cut back, to whether we ACTUALLY pump and dump — we’re answering all your questions and sharing what’s worked (in the past 7 days that we’ve cut out alcohol lol). Plus — the Nestlé scandal somehow gets worse (they allegedly lobbied against longer maternity leave???), a new Flock collab (!!), and how Disney weirdly helped us manage our time when we were kids (wth are the Netflix era kids gonna do??). Oh, and Harrison still thinks im not lactose intolerant…  LOVE YOU GUYS!  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:03:12 I bought a car!  00:12:27 Work update: New Flock collab!! 00:16:16 House update: Harrison’s DIYing??? (kinda) 00:25:20 How parenthood changed our relationship with alcohol 00:29:00 Q&A: How did Alex get Harrison on the same vibe regarding cutting back on alcohol? 00:33:35 Q&A: How do you think alcohol affects your relationship with each other?  00:35:35 Q&A: How do you decide who gets up with Tate at night/morning if you’ve both had some beverages that night? 00:38:48 Q&A: I think alcohol for every event has become so normal in our culture. What do you think are reasonable boundaries around alcohol consumption? Especially as parents 00:42:14 Q&A: How do you and Harrison maintain a social life / drinking and being parents? Did that affect any of your friendships? 00:44:49 Q&A: How do you navigate if one parent is the drinking type and the other is fairly sober? When is it fair to ask your partner that you’d like to have a few drinks instead of always being the “default” parent and how to communicate that? 00:48:20 Q&A: Im exclusively pumping and wondering how you navigated pumping and drinking. Do you pump and dump? Wait a couple hours? I haven’t had a drink yet because I don’t know what to do! 00:50:13 Nestle scandal continues with lobbying against longer maternity leave (ALLEGEDLY) 00:57:53 Things We DMed each other: Disney helped us with time management  01:03:00 Things We DMed each other: Sleep Song 01:05:20 LOVE YOU GUYS!  #twoparentsandapod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: HelloFresh – Go to https://www.HelloFresh.com/TWOPARENTS10FM now to get 10 Free Meals with a Free Item For Life.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re looking deeper into schooling (you guys had so much good feedback last week). We talk about the possibility of starting an at-home daycare (s/o Maria), how we’re thinking about community and curriculum, and what our long-term plan could look like if we decide to do school this way. But before that, we’re recapping Mother’s Day (spoiler alert: Harrison rated his efforts a 6.5/10 and I got food poisoning lol), debating whether you ACTUALLY need to fasten your seatbelt during turbulence, and breaking down the scary moment we had to use the CPR/choking class we took before Tate was born. We came across some wild things this week in Things We DMed Each Other… including a massive baby formula scandal from the ’70s (??) and the ongoing conversation around the “decline” of alcohol (honestly, it feels like you can make data say whatever you want.)

HELLO FROM MIAMI!!! We actually recorded a podcast (UNRELEASED) from here right when we started dating and so we were feeling NOSTALGIC and wanted to do a little relationship Q&A.  We dive into some of YOUR questions about our relationship! From navigating parenting style differences to deciding when the right time is for another kid, we're getting personal and answering your burning questions. We kick things off with a weekly house update—spoiler alert, it involves cameras, alarms, and doorbells (read: you now need security clearances to enter our house lol). Then, we get into how we were so confident in our decision to have a kid after knowing each other for such a short time, and whether we've ever second-guessed our decision.  And of course, we touch on the big question: Are we ready for baby #2? Plus, does marriage feel more or less important now that we’ve got the house and baby? As always, we wrap up with some fun Things We DMed Each Other—including new parents getting reimbursed $36,000 for childcare and why we think DoorDash’s “DoorDad” is a game-changer. Also apparently we need to stop saying “THANK YOU” to ChatGPT?!  LOVE YOU GUYS!  (A letter from the editor (lol) - we are SORRY for the atrocious video quality - we had some major issues this week with our files from the studio.. xoxo Jules & P)  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast 00:03:55 Weekly house update: Cameras, alarms & doorbells (oh my lol) 00:06:24 Flight attendants don’t get paid for layovers?! 00:12:00 Happy Mother’s Day!!! 00:15:10 Q&A: How were we so confident in our decision to have a kid when we knew each other for such a short time? 00:20:00 Q&A: Did we ever question our decision to have a child so quickly? 00:21:55 Q&A: Have there been any parenting style disagreements yet? 00:26:20 Q&A: Who handles the planning of activities & social things? 00:28:05 Q&A: How do we split the workload? 00:33:01 Q&A: Did Harrison have any hesitation dating Alex so soon after divorce? 00:33:52 Q&A: How are we deciding when we are ready for baby #2?  00:37:48 Q&A: Does marriage seem more or less important now that we have our house and baby? 00:41:13 Q&A: We’ve mentioned we have different communication styles.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — I left Tate overnight for the first time ever (!!!) and came home to a house that was fully intact (and OURS — we finally ACTUALLY closed on the house!!!). We talk about how it felt (I have so many emotions now that I’m a mom???), what Harrison did on his weekend with Tate (“dad-ing,” not babysitting), and what he learned. Plus — the power went out across Spain and Portugal (?? but we actually think it sounds kind of fun), we share how we picked Tate’s name (neither of us actually remembers, but apparently tater tots were involved??), and get into why some kids’ shows are actually… not good (*cough cough* Cocomelon *cough cough*). Throw in a Mother’s Day surprise, an idea for Stagecoach next year, and some unwanted bug exposure (GRADUAL, per Harrison) — it’s a good one. WE LOVE YOU GUYS! Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:24 How did we come up with Tate’s name? 00:05:30 No power, no problem - Spain & Portugal power outage 00:10:17 We finally ACTUALLY own the house!!!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re diving into a full-on NEW HOUSE Q&A— and answering everything you guys have been asking (s/o to everyone that asked questions on TikTok!!! We are having so much fun sharing this journey with you guys). We get into how we made the decision to buy, what it was like navigating the process so fast (literally and figuratively - like we have only been dating 1.5 years!!), and exactly how we’re splitting the cost (spoiler: it’s not as simple as 50/50.) We’re also talking long-term plans, if we’ll stay in this house forever, and what we’ve learned so far from doing it all together. Before we get into that, we’re covering the usual IRL updates — are we too old to be “cool”? Was missing the Easter egg hunt a parenting fail? And what exactly does your girlfriend mean when she says she’s “good with anything” for dinner? In Things We DMed Each Other: Revolve’s in legal hot water and apparently reading books out loud to your partner is the new love language. LOVE YOU GUYS!

This episode is a ROLLER COASTER - but spoiler alert: WE GOT THE HOUSE (ps. sorry in advance for checking for texts and taking a mid-podcast call but you guys REALLY get to come along for the ride tonight.) And in between our house updates: We’re officially sleeping again (!!) thanks to the 5-10-15 method, baby exercises (??), and ChatGPT. We also talk about using AI to plan our date night (wild), double date dynamics, and why “dad bod summer” is officially here. Plus, we talk about the little white lies we tell kids (we’ve decided our tooth fairy is gonna be from Canada). And in Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about the $3800 baby carrier that Artipoppe just dropped (and why we know our $30 Amazon one is better) + a cute family moment and some fun brand activations at Coachella. Oh and Harrison also somehow is getting scammed AGAIN (we don’t know how either). We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Happy Thursday! This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re TIRED (sorry!!!) — we’re low on sleep over here, but we’re sharing what we’re doing to try and fix that. We dive into the age-old debate: should you let your baby “cry it out”? (We’re figuring it out in real time.) And of course, we talk about all the sleep-deprived mishaps—can’t pay for dinner, left the car running, lost phones... it’s been a week. We also give a quick house update (spoiler alert: we still don’t know what’s happening, and we’re supposed to move in a week—fun!!). And in Things We DMed Each Other, we discovered laptops maybe shouldn’t sit on your lap?? Add that to the list of things no one warned us about. And for this week’s brain break—well, we needed one. So much so that we literally couldn’t remember what we were supposed to talk about. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Happy Thursday! This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re talking about what it really means to have good neighbors—because as you guys put it, “you can renovate a house, but you can’t buy good neighbors.” We start with some Year 1 milestone updates (why am I irrationally sad?!), from moving Tate into her own room to starting solids (Harrison has officially been named Chief Solids Officer). Plus, we recap our first annual neighborhood block party—a new tradition in the making! Next, we break down what today’s ‘village’ to raise a child actually looks like—and specifically, how we’ve built ours. Then, we’re diving into communication in relationships (and in general!)—the good, the bad, and why ‘clean’ means something completely different to both of us. In Things We DMed Each Other, we have to talk about Frida’s breast milk-flavored ice cream (yes, really—it’s not an April Fools’ joke). And finally, we’re (well actually just me Harrison had to leave for a meeting LOL) responding to your comments before wrapping up. We LOVE YOU GUYS!

Happy Thursday! This week, we dive into “default parent syndrome”—what it means, how it’s not good or bad (unless you’re experiencing it and you think it is!!), and how it could be your own fault if you’re the default parent?? But first - we talk about our housing update (I think we’re moving into a hotel… Eloise at the Plaza 🤝 Tate at the [insert Austin hotel here]), recap our Aspen trip (plus answered your questions about we handled childcare while traveling) and is it OK for babies to cry on planes (+ a bunch more of airplane talk lol). In Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about Frontier clapping back at Southwest and the viral TikTok trend on teaching kids to share. Then, we’re responding to your comments (trying this for the first time!!!) about building family traditions. And in this week’s Brain Break, we read a sweet (but hilarious) text from Harrison’s dad.

First up—the ongoing gift saga continues (because of course it’s not over yet - but this time we have a solution???).

So we chat about that plus an update on my pumping/breastfeeding journey.  And in HUGE news… we made an offer on a house! We’re talking through all the house-hunting updates, property taxes & creeping on people on Zillow hahahha OH and an update on the nanny share… Also, we’re throwing a block party?! We might be THOSE neighbors now (or our neighbors might trying to be convince us to stay??).  In Things We DMed Each Other, we’re chatting drinking vs. social isolation and why all couples are actually the same. Listener Qs this week: Breaking parenting “rules” (and finding the joy in parenting) and our opinions on long-distance relationships. And we’re wrapping up with a Brain Break: the best & worst purchases from the first six months of parenthood (spoiler alert: our fav thing is cheap from Target!!!). We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Happy Thursday! We’re back with another episode, and this one’s a fun one. Getting ahead of this now - I’m SORRY for the scream at the beginning (but I know you guys understand 🕷️🕷️). First up—Harrison just launched a new product (not an ad #NoFreeAds). Then, we get into our family’s secret languages (do you have one??), an update on Tate (she’s 6 months old!!! is this the end of pumping?), and the TL;DR of the house situation is that there’s no update and we’re like 30 days out. We’re also talking about friendship after kids—does having a baby mean losing friends? Does your FRIENDS having babies mean losing friends? And how can you be a supportive friend when your bestie becomes a parent? Plus a reminder to pay attention to how your friends talk about their partners!!! A sweet dad-to-be calls in and we share our #1 tips for prepping for baby. And, of course, we’re ending with the usual chaos—Fyre Festival 2 is somehow happening (allegedly), and we have some (alleged) thoughts. We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

Happy Thursday! We’re back with another episode, and this one’s fun. First up—Apple just dropped a kid-friendly watch?! (Have they been listening to the pod??? LOL) Then, we get into date night swaps with the neighbors (GENIUS), house hunting stress (shoutout Zillow addiction), and a shocking revelation… Harrison just found out babies under six months can’t wear sunscreen (ps. Tate has NEVER worn sunscreen - apparently he just didn’t know why lmao). Introducing our new segment (OK we’re just testing it but…): Table Topics! It’s all about the convos you’d have at dinner with your “parent friends” - relationships, pop culture, personal finances, parenting—and we want to hear from you!

Let us know in the comments if you like the new segment, and drop a voice memo with your question/comment/take for next week - https://memo.fm/twoparentsandapod/ And, of course, we’re ending with the usual chaos—plane crashes, Katy Perry in space, and people (read: Harrison) screaming at Waymo cars.

Happy Thursday!!!! You might have seen the lady TikTok who speaks to her baby like an adult (hahaha it’s been a fun week)… Harrison (the “man who stole that lady’s baby”) and I talk all about talking to your baby vs. baby talking and the reaction from the internet. Then, big life update: we’re moving! (MAYBE??!) We get into the renting vs. buying debate, what makes sense for us right now, and what we think our next steps are. ALSO - did you know the average age of a first time homebuyer is 38 years old?? Like.. we’re golden. Things we DMed sparks discussion on the California’s new child influencer laws and some of our childhood memories on vacation (spoiler alert: pyramids are NOT made out of sand & King Tut was real…). Plus we talk about why the new iPhone update might be ruining our lives. (Apple would summarize the description above as “Talking to babies about King Tut ruining lives” - BUT ACTUALLY like WHAT the heck are these summaries). As always, we LOVE YOU GUYS. Comment and tell me if you guys rent or own (I’m so curious and we literally have no idea what we’re gonna do!!!!)

Happy Thursday! In today’s episode, we dive into baby feeding – breast, bottle, combo – all of it. We’re answering all YOUR questions—my personal breastfeeding journey, the mental struggles of breastfeeding, and what we’ve learned about formulas in the US vs. Europe. This is probably my #1 asked topic on social (and honestly, what’s on my mind most of the time), so I’m excited we sat down and shared our experience / what we’ve learned. BUT ALSO, we share a funny (and sleep-deprived) mistake we made (think: Dude, where’s my car?), the Valentine’s Day present gone wrong (gift saga part 2983479), and apparently, Harrison got held up at gunpoint one time??

Happy Thursday! In today’s episode, Harrison and I are revisiting the “money talk” from episode 10 of Just Alex (RIP, but here's the link: https://youtu.be/8CUxKXQNztk) and breaking down how our financial plans have changed post-baby. We’re diving into our joint finances (what we said we were gonna do, but spoiler alert: didn’t), the costs of childcare, and how we’re setting up a college fund for Tate. We also chat about everything from the costs of parenthood we didn’t expect, to what’s been surprisingly expensive, and other ways we’re planning for the future (are we putting the baby on payroll???). Plus, as always - we've got a few laughs along the way – including what I almost threw at Harrison, things we DMed eachother, and an even deeper dive into the scam that is girl scout cookies (ALL ALLEGED). As always, we love sharing our experiences and just need to make the disclaimer: THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!! Whether you're in a relationship, expecting, or just curious about how others handle money, we hope this episode sparks some useful conversations. We LOVE YOU GUYS!!

On THIS WEEK’s episode – We’re diving into a juicy Q&A about s*x, intimacy, and date nights post-baby (and other Qs but that's the juicy stuff)! We talk all things keeping the spark alive as parents, navigating intimacy while breastfeeding, and how we've avoid falling into any sort of "roommate phase" (disclaimer: we know, we know - we're still new at this). We also touch on some of your other questions like managing anxiety around milk supply, coping with a tough pregnancy, and tips for taking your baby everywhere (yes, even to a hockey game 4 hours away!). And of course, we’ve got some hilarious parenting confessions (well - I think they are hilarious... I think Harrison says "not funny" like 10x) and a talk about sl*tty pumping (don’t ask, just listen). As always, if you're here for parenting advice, don’t get too excited – we’re just figuring it out along the way and sharing our experiences with you.

Welcome to the FIRST episode of Two Parents & A Podcast (feels weird not saying ‘back to another episode of Just Alex!!!’). Really gonna keep this low-key - this is the same show you guys know (and love?) - we just finally got around to that rebrand we’ve been promising. (Honestly how many more time could I have said “it’s just Alex aaaaaand Harrison’s here with me tooooo......” hahahha). So here we are, Two Parents & A Podcast - we’ll continue to invite y’all into our home weekly (sorry it’s so messy - we’re new parents) to talk all things parenting, relationships, trending topics, entrepreneurship, and the occasional conspiracy theory. On THIS WEEK’s episode - we get an update from Harrison on attending his first bachelor party as a dad. My first weekend alone with the babe had me thinking a lot about parental identity shift & grieving the pre-baby life, so we dive deep into this and my takeaways from the weekend (also just need to say - S/O TO SINGLE MOMS… you guys are super heroes). Next we’re laughing at the things we DMed eachother - backseat driving and having two babies at once (not twins??). Harrison DOESN’T laugh at the drunk confession I saw on IG that was hilarious. And we finish out the episode with a very valid questions: Where does your Girl Scout cookie money actually go?! One last thing, if you’re new here!!! If you came here for parenting advice - definitely the wrong podcast… But we try our best to share our experiences - this week y’all asked about when you should/when will we move the baby out of the bedroom (answer: we don’t know but we’ll obviously keep you updated). As always - LOVE YOU GUYS! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome to Two Parents & A Podcast!!!

Welcome back to Just Alex! In today’s episode, we’re talking about fertility after giving birth and trying for baby #2. This week we learned we need to be managing screen time for our 3-month-old (WHO KNEW?!). And I’m dealing with some serious nanny guilt (plus, guilt if I’m not being productive enough while the nanny is here (make it make sense!!!!)). We also talk betting markets again (I’m still so confused that you can bet on ANYTHING) - the TikTok ban, the U.S. possibly buying Greenland, and you can finally bet on the U.S. annexing Canada. OK - Love you guys! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 00:02:54 How old were you when you realized you didn’t have a good voice? 00:05:40 Nanny guilt 00:11:08 Betting on the Tik Tok ban 00:16:00 The US is now buying Greenland?!

Welcome back to Just Alex! HAPPY NEW YEAR (absolute last week I can say this so I’m getting it in). We’re talking about the perks of a nanny share—we now have TWO babes at home every day (a little taste of what twins would be like!!) Plus, Harrison and I discuss how men’s sperm can affect pregnancy, the ins and outs of sperm donation (and whether he’s ever done it... 👀). We dive into the what ifs around Canada becoming the 51st state—does this mean he automatically gets U.S. citizenship?! 🤔 We’re laughing thinking about how we would explain this to Tate hahaha. We take a little brain break with a trip down memory lane with childhood nostalgia (Blue’s Clues, Beanie Babies & Princess Diana) and we have question for you guys: Who is the modern-day Princess Diana? Let us know!

And who's gonna tell Harrison it's more than 3??

Harrison talks us through his visa renewal process (he got it!!!!) and we touch on our potential plans to move abroad anyways?!  We just got back from our LA trip where a restaurant served Harrison raw chicken… Yep, that happened.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! This week, we dive into some of the baby rules we wish we could break (if it was safe)—like co-sleeping or holding our baby in the car (we know, we know). Also - not really a rule - but are parents swearing in front of their kids in 2024?! Then, it’s all about newborn travel: I'm stressed about flying with our baby (maybe because we’ve done it once before) while Harrison’s surprisingly chill about it (also maybe because we’ve done it once before). Finally, we talk about dad bods (and mom bods!)—how parenthood is changing both of our approaches to fitness, and how we’re adjusting as parents. As always, thanks for tuning in, and we love you guys! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex!  00:00:40 Is it OK to swear in front of your kids?  00:03:24 Travel anxiety with a newborn  00:05:40 Newborn feeding schedule & planking while pumping 00:12:25 The #1 baby “rule” we wish we could break 00:18:59 Addiction to buying baby clothes w/ Apple Pay 00:20:27 Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour 00:23:35 Running on the trails in Austin 00:27:00 Running marathons should be fun 00:36:00 Harrison thought he was going to die in Burma 00:43:30 Valentine’s Day debacle 00:49:03 Thank you for listening!!  #justalexpod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week:  - HelloFresh: Get 10 FREE meals at https://www.HelloFresh.com/freejustalex.

We dive into the differences between the drinking age in the US vs. Canada, share stories about our earliest experiences with alcohol, and discuss the pros and cons of being the "party house." We also chat about how we’re building new friendships - making parent friends and making friends in a new city!

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! Harrison finally went back to the dentist and they rolled out the red carpet (see: https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod/video/7409333328458911007). Then, we dive into some holiday debates, like whether it’s too early to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving, and share our thoughts on creating new holiday traditions. We also discuss the foods we could eat for six months straight (like tater drinking her milk), plus answer your questions about life as parents, dating an influencer, and the relationship shifts we’ve experienced since having a baby. We wrap things up with a discussion on postpartum depression—what it feels like, how to support a partner through it, and available resources.  As always, thank you for listening! ❤️ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 00:04:00 Harrison was outed at the dentist 00:09:15 Only scammers tell you to buy a gift card to pay them 00:12:39 Our invisible string 00:15:15 Is decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving disrespectful?! 00:23:18 What food could you eat for 6 months straight? 00:25:53 Creating new holiday traditions 00:28:00 A baby’s full-o-meter  00:30:27 Q&A: Is the podcast officially Just Alex & Harrison? 00:33:46 Q&A: What’s the best/worst thing about dating an influencer? 00:37:33 Q&A: What relationship pain points have changed with a newborn? 00:41:22 Q&A: What’s one thing nobody tells you about having a newborn? 00:44:35 Q&A: What is the age gap you want for baby #2? 00:45:10 Dealing with postpartum depression 00:55:10 How can a partner help a new mom with postpartum depression? 01:03:55 LOVE YOU GUYS! #justalexpod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to the pod on Spotify/Apple Podcasts:  https://open.spotify.com/show/7BxuZnHmNzOX9MdnzyU4bD?si=5e715ebaf9014fac https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-alex/id1737442386 Follow Just Alex Pod: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexpod/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod Follow Alex: Alex's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexbennett Alex's TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexbennett Follow Harrison:  Harrison's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/harrisonfugman Harrison's TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@harrisonfugman ---------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by: Just Media House -- https://www.justmediahouse.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re talking about the reality of flying with a newborn for the first time (spoiler alert: traveling is not as easy as it used to be). We also talk about the dos and don’ts when meeting someone’s newborn. Plus, we get into how we split travel expenses as a couple (bc y’all are always asking in my DMs) including whether it’s okay to ever ask your partner to foot the entire bill. Finally, we weigh in on modern-day etiquette - talking to uber drivers, masks on planes, airport pickups—are we still doing these things in 2024?!

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We start off with (what we're guessing is) a familiar struggle of the canceled babysitter. We also realized we needed to get on a school list for school like before conception (who knew?) and dive into everything school from "out of classroom growth days" to some high school cheating stories. We share our thoughts on Trump’s McDonald’s shift and discuss the CDC delaying developmental timelines (but honestly it’s hilarious we even care, considering we finally figured out how to use our stroller and change diapers hahhaha) Plus, we chat about post-baby body changes (mainly post-baby boob jobs) Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 00:02:40 Our babysitter cancelled 00:06:30 I didn’t realize I had to pick out a school before I conceived… 00:08:00 Out of classroom growth days 00:09:30 Cheating in high school  00:18:24 We got interrupted… 00:20:45 McDonald’s newest employee 00:25:00 CDC developmental timelines & our food system 00:34:50 We finally learned how to use our stroller… 00:37:20 I also learned how to put on a diaper… 00:42:00 Our new nanny 00:46:15 Boob jobs after babies 00:52:15 LOVE YOU GUYS! #justalexpod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week:  Lumen: If you want to take the next step in improving your health, go to lumen.me/JUSTALEX to get 15% off your Lumen.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 🎉 We’re all over the place today, starting with what my doctor is calling a "vaginal miracle" then diving into parental brain fog (maybe that's why we're all over the place lol). We talk about why we’ve stopped discussing our kid ('but Alex you have a podcast where all you've been talking about is your baby?!") and tackle the bizarre question of whether I should eat my placenta or use it to plant a tree. We discuss how we're navigating raising a child with two religions and share our personal journeys with our religions. Plus, we’ll touch on Canadian Thanksgiving, give some family updates, and share our work pet peeves.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex (& Harrison 😉)!! We are T- ~5 days away from being parents, and the #1 thing on our minds after the hospital tour today: babies getting swapped at hospitals.

This week on the podcast, I sit down with Sarah Larson Levey, Founder/CEO of Y7 Studio and a momma of two. As a business owner, mom, and NYC to Austin transplant, I knew there’d be a ton I could learn from Sarah, and she certainly didn't disappoint. Sarah opens up about her path from launching Y7 as a pop-up to transforming it into a renowned yoga community focused on inner growth and self-acceptance. She talks into Y7's mirror-free philosophy, explaining how it helps individuals break free from the comparison trap. This mindset extends beyond yoga into Sarah's experiences in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and overcoming personal challenges like two miscarriages. Hope you guys enjoy Sarah’s insights on reducing comparison to foster personal growth and happiness in every aspect of life :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! 00:02:43 Intro to Sarah Larson Levey, Founder / CEO of Y7 Studio and momma of 2  00:08:45 How Sarah took Y7 from pop-up to cult-favorite yoga studio 00:21:15 No mirrors to encourage inward focus and no comparison 00:28:10 Taking lessons learned off the mat 00:31:45 The impact of the pandemic on Sarah and Y7 00:38:00 “It’s like this now” 00:41:30 Stop comparing yourselves to other moms online 00:44:30 Overcoming two miscarriages 00:52:40 How Sarah teaches her kids not to compare themselves to others 00:01:40 LOVE YOU GUYS!  #justalexpod ---------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to the pod on Spotify/Apple Podcasts:  https://open.spotify.com/show/7BxuZnHmNzOX9MdnzyU4bD?si=5e715ebaf9014fac https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-alex/id1737442386 Follow Just Alex Pod: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexpod/ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexpod Follow Alex: Alex's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/justalexbennett Alex's TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justalexbennett Follow Sarah: Sarah's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/sarah_ayako Y7 Studio's Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/y7studio ---------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by: Just Media House -- https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Edited & Produced by: Creative Evolution Studios — https://www.creativeevolutionstudios.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week’s episode, Harrison and I do a complete mid-year reset, with a focus on goal setting & manifesting our next 6 months. I have a TON of major life changes happening right now - soon-to-be mom, new business, new relationship, moving cities (🤯) - I needed a little reset. We walk through Harrison’s goal-setting framework, which covers five key buckets: family, friends, love life, impact (job), and wellbeing. And also share our goals for the second half of the year, as individuals and as a couple. Two things I learned while prepping… You are 42% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down, and 65% more likely if you share them with an accountability partner. What do you think my odds are now that I’ve shared them with all of you?!

Happy Thursday! I’m 26 weeks!! Wanted to sit down and give you a quick 2nd trimester update - I chat through my baby shower recap and what’s getting me through pregnancy right now.  This weekend Harrison’s mom & sister hosted a baby shower for me in Vancouver. 15/10 - no notes. The decorations, the plan for the afternoon, the company - everything was perfect. Happy to share details - shoot me your questions in the comments!!!  OK so what’s getting me through my second trimester?!  Here’s my R.E.P.O.R.T:  [R]eading - Baby books!!

Happy Thursday! In today's episode, Harrison and I dive into a conversation we think every couple should have – the all-important "money talk." We discuss how we’re going to structure our budget, prenup (cohabitation agreement in our case 😉), and child support agreement. I've received tons of DMs about the "money talk" before marriage and the transparency (or lack thereof) in how couples handle their finances (budgeting, joint bank accounts, prenups, etc.). We're breaking down our process, what we've learned, and our final decisions in hopes of normalizing this conversation.
