Marriage & Parenting Unfiltered: A Conversation With My Husband Alé on What No One Talks About

EPISODE #70 — Dec 12, 2025

Pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and becoming Noah’s parents completely reshaped our lives this year. In this episode, I’m joined by my husband for an unfiltered conversation about what it’s really been like: from pregnancy and birth to navigating postpartum recovery and what’s shifted in our marriage. We answer your questions, share how the same moments felt very different from each side, talk about what surprised him most about pregnancy and birth, what supporting a partner truly looks like, and how parenthood changes everything. This episode is a real (at times funny) behind-the-scenes look.
